I'm going to be a sad, boring git and make a simple request. Please can the language used by Agents actually be correct.
i.e. Can the "Me and my gang have completed the mission" be changed to "My gang and I have completed the mission".
I can put up with players being ignorant in the use of their own or another language, but it would be nice if game designers didn't make simple schoolboy errors.
Fot those that still don't understand this simple concept, if I did something, then my gang and I could do it, if something was done by or to me, then it could be done by or to my gang and me.
I completed the mission.
My gang and I completed the mission.
The mission was completed by me.
The mission was completed by me and my gang.

Signed.
Proper grammar isn't an option, it is a requirement.

Just one of those things that are so minor they easily slip through the QA process, because A) most CCP staff do not speak English as their first language, and B) most people couldn't care less.
I find internet snobs far more grating than the odd strange sentence in a game.

-grates some more-
Seriously though, just trying to draw some attention to it and take care of it right off.
I know folks who speak English as a second language but don't have a version of EVE localized for them, or they choose to play in English so they're reading the same things the rest of us English-speakers are reading for the sake of consistency. A foreign language is tough enough, let alone a foreign language being spoken or written incorrectly.

Additionally, consider changing some of the other agent-related text. For example.
"I've finished the job. Give me whats mine."
Not to be RP here, but is that how you talk to someone you have a professional relationship with? How about.
"I've completed the job and am here to collect payment."
"The job is done and im here for my reward."
Whatever. I don't talk like a caveman or a ****head, and you probably dont either, so maybe we could fix the text up a little.
