Wrong Grammar In Totems Bugs Me!

by Angelo on August 19th, 2008

I decided to try out playing a shaman after seeing some of the nice talents coming for the expansion, especially for the elemental tree. I figured that since I have so many horde characters in the server I play in, it’s a nice opportunity to try out the Alliance once again (I’ve had some failed attempts in trying out the Alliance in the past). I find that the combination of having a flexible character that can fulfill several roles if geared and specced properly and playing an interesting race as a Draenei would help in making the experience worth trying out.

As I was leveling up in the lowbie zone, I eventually noticed something that really bugs me. I really don’t like seeing errors in spelling and grammar whenever I read something. I tolerate “1337 speak” because it is what it is. But generally, I hate seeing wrong grammar and spelling especially when it’s made by Blizzard themselves.

Shaman totems always have the name of whose totem it belongs to. The model of ’s totem is fine for most cases except for when the player’s name ends with an S like my draenei shaman. In that case, basic English grammar tells us that only an apostrophe is necessary. I know it takes extra work to program some sort of If,Then command into the code for totems to distinguish between players with and without S as the last letter of their name but I really think it’s something that should be done.

Right now I’m actually thinking of recreating my character so I can rename her so I won’t need to see that annoying grammatical error all the way until the level cap.
