When Everyone’s an Editor…
If you’re familiar with the large corporate game sites you’ll know that all of their writers have the word “Editor” in their titles. This is ironic because these sites are also notorious for their lack of editorial oversight. Articles regularly contain misspellings, grammatical mistakes, and even repeated paragraphs or sentences that are missing their endings. I find it amazing that professional writers can’t be bothered to even spellcheck their work before displaying it to the public. Perhaps its just laziness, but I sometimes fear that in a text message crazed society grammar and spelling are being left by the wayside. There are, however, some people that still care and as such I will from time to time bring to your attention the more egregious mistakes posted on the corporate websites.
Let’s kick things off with a particularly mistake-filled review of Jeanne D’Arc posted on a certain large game site. This review is filled with such poorly constructed sentences as:
“Unified guard kicks when your characters are adjacent to each other drastically increases their defense against physical attacks. ”
Obviously this article was never read by its writer or anyone else before it was posted to the web. One sentence in this review struck me as particularly amusing. I think it pretty much speaks for itself:
“The sound is up tot he same quality standards. ”
