Cantr II Discussion Forum

This has always confused me. Surely, in order to have a pair of trousers, there must have been two singulars of that type, right? Why do I never see anyone making a trouser, to join to their existing trouser, in order to make a pair of trousers?

Perhaps you have the answer?

Or perhaps I really don't care.

Quick Google search for the curious came up with this: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/502/why-do-we-say-a-pair-of-pants-when-theres-only-one-of-them


I prefer EchoMan's version as a 'pair of' trousers would sound better than simply 'sewing trousers'. This is just my opinion though.


Maybe it would be a good idea to have a sticky regarding noticed misspellings and/or grammar issues?

I made this sticky and changed the title a bit.

So, I was about to start working on a farming spinach project, and the project name was "Farming to get spinage". WHAT IS THIS SPINAGE

A multireported typo. This game has been mantained and improved by people of all the world over the years. The Program Department is working on this and many other corrections, but you might have noticed that already

3809-0: Your a crumbling bone club is damaged beyond repair.


what!? im a crubling bone club that is beyond repair!? haha just a small grammer error

"Your" is possessive. What you talk about would have been spelled "You're" or "You are" which it is not. The error here is the "a".

Also, "crumbling" is not vecessary, and should be removed. Anything that crumbles to dust has a crumbling state.

This one is incorrect now with the implemented Near Death State. When you hit someone and they reach 100% damage,it still says: "You kill so and so with a (weapon)." Now they aren't dead yet because you have to finish them off. Shouldn't it say something like, "You mortally wound so and so with a (weapon)." ?

Thanks, I'll take this to the language department.

Small capitalization error I found:

Tiredness:
Dirtyness:
Thirst:
Hunger:
Drunkenness:
fullness:

Fixed. Thanks for reporting.

It came from the laziness of having separate tags for the state name and the capitalized version.

Why don't we use that for the build menu as well? It would make it look better.
