[V1.0 Xenopedia] Typo thread


Recommended Posts

And another

The hunter scout car, second paragraph, first sentence:

", a vehicle is small and light enough"

Two options here: drop the "is" or swap "a" out with "the".

I feel I am being a bit obscure.

Either ", a vehicle small and light enough"

or ", the vehicle is small and light enough"

Here is a minor point, more about style than being technically incorrect.

The weapon descriptions all list the length of the weapon in inches, and the weight in kilograms. So mixing imperial and metric measurements.

Nothing particularly wrong with that, especially with our international organisation in the 1970s. I had not even noticed it before, because the aircraft industry has systems alongside each other all the time. For example: When I used to work on the Italian Aeromacchii jet with a Rolls Royce engine we had to have a metric, an imperial AF and a British Witworth set of spanners all on the same tool board.

Anyway, it might bug some people.

Sebillian Analysis, second paragraph, second sentence:

"stem cells in Sebillian bloodstream"

This does not seem right to me, but I'm not 100% on the best way to fix it. Here a re a few ideas:

"stem cells in the Sebillian bloodstream"

"stem cells in a Sebillian's bloodstream"

"stem cells in Sebillians' bloodstreams"

I think I would go for adding "the"

Back again. There was a long run of flawless Xenopedia entries there, but...

Valkyrie Assault Boat

Second paragraph, last sentence "cruise at nearly 2000 pm/h" should be "cruise at nearly 2000 km/h". Unless, that is, there is a speed measurement I have not heard of.

Nice use of the word discomfiting, by the way.
