Yeah who IS the copy editor at Blizzard? I'd like to have a talk with them. It's enormously frustrating for a former copy editor, and lover of the English language, to see all the mistakes that make it into game. Those things just jump out at you and grab you--how can any editor worth their salt let them slide?

Welcome to baradin base camp.

That's possibly why I don't go back to Tol Barad.

As a former copyeditor, you should know that copyeditors are overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated as a rule. So have a word with Blizzard's management, not the three copyeditors Blizzard employs. Mistakes that did make it into the game likely never even came before a copyeditor's eyes. "Ah, who cares? We need to get this up" is the way it works now.
