Unless there's only one Sky Raider, this should be ...are...

 

I believe fixing this is more than just correcting a typo, as it's an artefact of the random 'Mad-Lib' nature of radio/newspaper missions.  I suspect the mish text template is something like 'X is threatening to destroy...' Works ok when X = Malta or The Circle of Thorns, but in this case not so much.

Alignment tip mission, Defuse the Nemesis Booby Trap, mission entry pop-up text:

 

'There are a handful of Nemesis troops still inside.  It looks like a few officers have already entered the building.  You need to save then and prevent the trap from ensnaring more PPD officers.'

 

should be

 

'There is a handful of Nemesis troops still inside.  It looks like a few officers have already entered the building.  You need to save them and prevent the trap from ensnaring more PPD officers.'

 

a) A common error, but there is just one handful so the verb needs to be singular.  Verb agrees with the subject of the sentence, not the object of the preposition.

b) Probably just a typo.

Max, Dark Astoria, Initial Contact:

 

'Director 11 originally created our dealings with the Knives of Artemis. His knowledge of demolitions and on the foundations of the Knives of Vengeance's training grounds will prove extremely useful to the operation.  That's all of the details I know about Director 11's personality.'

 

That information had nothing to do with Director 11's personality.  Probably should be:

 

'That's all of the details I know about Director 11's history.' or 'That's all of the details I know about Director 11's activities.'

 

 

Max, Dark Astoria, Technology of the Future. mission briefing:

 

'We can get you inside of that facility, but from there it's up to you to get inside, rescue Slinger from Black Scorpion, and destroy that empowerment machine.'

 

Do we have to get inside twice? :-)  Should be

 

'We can get you to that facility, but from there it's up to you to get inside, rescue Slinger from Black Scorpion, and destroy that empowerment machine.'

I don't report that many, since a lot of what I see is already here, but here's one.

You know what's weird tho? It's the only badge in the list that I can see the name of, all the other badge names are dim when I highlight them and barely legible. See this example, the badge next to it...

Number Six, Initial Contact:

'They had sonic fences to keep the Hamidon back, along with turrets built from schematics stolen from Lambda sector to serve as their defense.'

 

Unless waving bits of paper in the faces of Praetorian DE keeps them at bay.  'Ha, razorvine -- this is your mama!'

Kristof Jaeger's arc, "Set bombs in Longbow base mission". When I took out the Longbow Officer at the back of the map, there was an announcement from a Longbow officer (I think it was an ambush, not the one I was attacking) that said "Longbow Agents& attack!".

 

Need to get rid of the spurious ampersand.

No; 'whomever' is an object pronoun, while 'whoever' is a subject pronoun. Because the person opening the box is the object of the statement, 'whomever' is correct.

That's an easy mistake to make, but in this case 'whoever' is the subject of the clause 'X opens the box.'

 

The overall sentence structure is research (subject) indicated (verb) clause (direct object), but within the clause it's whoever (subject) opens (verb) box (direct object).

 

It might help to think of a similar sentence 'My research indicated that I opened the box.'  You wouldn't say 'My research indicated that me opened the box.'

Rothstein, Praetorian Tutorial:

 

'To see what badges you have, click on the word Badge located on your navigation bar.'

 

should be

 

'To see what badges you have, click on the word Badges located on your navigation bar.'

 

The menu option on the nav bar uses the plural.

 

 

Provost Marchand, Praetorian Tutorial:

 

'I'm impressed at your actions here today with the Resistance.'

 

should be

 

'I'm impressed by your actions here today with the Resistance.'

 

 

Provost Marchand, Praetorian Tutorial:

 

'You'll be able to start you career in protecting Praetoria'

 

should be

 

'You'll be able to start your career in protecting Praetoria'

That's not a typo. Lead is spelled that way ( as well as "Led").  It's a Read/Read thing.

The past tense of 'to lead' is 'led,' not 'lead.'  (https://www.grammarly.com/blog/led-lead/)

 

In the case that I'm quoting, it's the past tense they want.

You are absolutely right.  I was having a "senior moment" LOL.

Shadow Science Rescue Test Subjects From Council Grammatical Error

Just found an old grammatical error, I know it's old as it exists in all the archived wiki's etc. "and weakened so that Nictus can forcibly posses them long enough to recover their strength". I am fairly sure they meant possess rather than rounding up cowboys to chase them.
