Re: Spelling, grammar and language issues.
What is the problem with this? Did it print out {location} literally? Can you please write what location you left and entered. Send a PM if you don't want it in public.

Re: Spelling, grammar and language issues.
One person, two people, three people is good English. One people is not. But I would imagine reprogramming for the singular would be dificult?

I'll add it to the bug list, but low priority.

Re: Spelling, grammar and language issues.
In the "animals" page, "ostrichs" is written for the plural of ostrich. The correct plural form is "ostriches".

Ostriches are now freed from their poorly-pluralised cage.

Re: Spelling, grammar and language issues.
There's mixed usage of the words bejeweled and bejewelled in the build menu (and as items I assume). Both are proper words, each being an alternative form of the other but it should probably be consistent.
Items that are bejeweled:
Bejeweled iron bracers
Bejeweled gold statue
Items that are bejewelled:
Bejewelled crown
Bejewelled hand mirror
Bejewelled fan

Re: Spelling, grammar and language issues.
Thanks. Since "bejewelled" is more British/UK English, and Cantrian English is by convention British English, I changed "bejeweled" to "bejewelled". Those two were indeed the only ones with that spelling.
