Attention: Carl
« on: August 08, 2010, 06:30:10 AM »
There is a spelling mistake under the money making section of the guide. At the fishing part, the fourth topic mentioned, last line it says "evetually" instead of "eventually".
LOL I know it's a super 'Who cares?' moment but that is probably the only mistake in the guide, so it has me perturbed.

Thank you, Pielord.  One of us will get this corrected soon.  I'm at a different computer at the moment and can't load the software needed to make the correction.

Ha, ha, ha. You've got a fan Carl! ;D

Nah seriously, it's not so little with minor spelling corrections. The guide needs to look good, shouldn't it? :)

Umm, why is the whole of the Writing section in the money making part of the guide in bold?

Yes. Don't worry, I felt the same when I first saw a post by 'The Carl'. But it's normal around here.

It took about 20 minutes of serious internal strife and turmoil before I decided not to go into Carl's own profile settings and add that to his sig.

So, the good news is — I've still got a job!  :D

-------

EDIT: I just wanted to add this one more tidbit. Pielord, one of the great things about this site is warmth that Carl and the staff bring to the whole site. Of course, I do kid around a lot, but I wouldn't do that if I didn't feel comfortable myself with everyone here.  ;)

Yeah, it's informal Pielord. Sometimes spotting me posting is a bit like seeing Bigfoot though. Thanks for enjoying the guide. A lot of folks have put a lot of work into it. I'd say it'd be half as big without everyone's assistance. This is my little cave for corrections, and frequent it most often. Nothing will ever be perfect but we can always try!

Umm, since you don't mind Lol, 6 lines down from the 'Learning to Sculpt' heading on the Sculpting skill guide section it says "tropy" instead of what I think should be "trophy".  :o

Also, in the World Adventuress tomb raiding part of the guide you list the triggers while exploring. I'm not sure if this is one but you did mention torches (I've only ever used one) which are rare in the extreme. -Graves. You can sometimes mourn at graves as triggers. Dunno if I've got it wrong or if you mentioned it and I just missed it, only a suggestion.

Yes, that is a good thing here that seperates this forum from other ones; you can be yourself here, in words than.

Um thanks Lol, just sorta read the guide WAY too much -so I tend to notice these things.  :)

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/worldadventures/france/
Second paragraph from the bottom, 3rd line from the bottom:
It says "and your odds of flying a glowy fly", is that supposed to be your odds of 'capturing' a glowy fly?

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/careers/medical-career-track.php
Paragraph after lifetime wish choices, first line. You wrote "Sims that reach the world reknowned surgeon...", guessing its 'renowned'.

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/lifetimewishes/how-traits-and-wishes-work.php
Fourth paragraph, first line. It says "...lifetime wishes to a list of possiblities.", meant to be 'possibilities'.

Sorry for being a pest! Some things just get to me...

Haha!
I'm pretty certain my little corrections aren't that big-a-deal Lol. Just a bit of an English addict sometimes.  :)

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/lifetimewishes/ambitions/worldrenownedsurgeon.php
Second paragraph after first picture, last line. Says "However, en route to the hospital to join the career Bumble must have short-circuited...", meant to be 'on' route to the hospital.

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/lifetimewishes/ambitions/worldrenownedsurgeon.php
Second paragraph after Week 2 heading, sixth line from the top. Um, the guide says "You actually have to cancel your “At Work” cur and then...", I think that's meant to be 'cue' after reading what's written in context.

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/lifetimewishes/ambitions/fashionphenomenon.php
First line under the picture of Debbie on her Beast. Says "...Lifetime Happiness Reward was Professional Simolean Booster", I think it's spelt 'Simoleon'.

At http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/lifetimewishes/ambitions/fashionphenomenon.php (first line after picture of rock star guy) Pam mentions that the weekly stipend for a Haute Hot Shot is $1,180, but in the guide at http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/careers/ambitions/stylist.php (in the table) it says that the stipend is $984 per week. I'm not sure if these amounts can vary but it sounds like a contradiction--suggesting one is incorrect or hasn't been updated. This also applies to the promotions thereafter mentioned. I think I may have overlooked something which would explain this, sort of like you can get raises in jobs, however to my mind the weekly stipends are always the same until after the last promotion.

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/careers/ambitions/stylist.php
The heading "The Importance of Socializing to Success in Fashion", after Freestyle Styling. I think that the word success is in the incorrect form. Isn't it The Importance of Socializing to 'Succeed' in Fashion. Although I could be mistaken in terms of your intended meaning.

The phrase "en route" is correct.  Some phrases from other languages, like French, show up in English minus only diacritical marks.

Are you sure it was intended? I'm mainly basing my corrections on whats written in context and I don't exactly get the 'French' vibe from the piece. I only really notice spelling mistakes and do not bother posting other types of errors too often as I am only 16 and lack alot of knowledge in most areas of the language, so when I do post something I'm pretty sure it looks really messed up to the reader. However, if Carl can verify what you've mentioned, I'd gladly apologize for not understanding the term.

En route is a French phrase which means "on the way" or "along the way". It may refer to: • En route (novel), an 1895 novel by Joris-Karl Huysmans

(Found in Wikipedia)

Does that answer your question? :)
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
