With other comics, I've found that having a separate thread for typos strikes a good balance, allowing language lovers like me to provide constructive criticism without adding negativity to the main discussion thread. The hurricane of typos in the latest update compels me to make this now.

November 6 update (Dengaa Kurib's bio):

prostetic --> prosthetic
eventual was --> was eventually (the order swap is just for clarity; there's also a spelling correction)
apendage --> appendage
oponent --> opponent
an deciet --> and deceit, (the added comma is just for clarity; there are also two spelling corrections)
found --> fond
people, --> people (removing the comma is just for clarity)

1st speech bubble:
pleasent --> pleasant

2nd speech bubble:
cause --> 'cause (from the context, it appears to be a contraction of "because", not actually the word "cause")

Maybe Lego was sleepy when he wrote it? Or had a stroke! Oh god! I was wondering why I hadn't seen him online the last day or two!

HE'S DEAD.

"how well those idiots faired" should be "how well those idiots fared"

12/31/2007-First panel, first dialog box: "Rando, we must travel to American to stop a bomb!"

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but 'American' should be 'America'.

I dunno, but I feel like there's a speech bubble missing in the third panel for the female cop.

i have returned from vacation and will get on correcting these soon, as soon as i catch up with the fact that i didn't have internet for 10 days (well dial up, but that doesn't count). and i just drove over 14 hours in two days.

Thanks for this thread--I really think that the comic could be even better (hard as that may be to imagine) with a few tiny corrections. I therefore appoint myself as archive-typo-searcher. Here are the first two months.


August 2002
25: "i'm there" should be "I'm there"
27: "Captain This is out" should be "Captain, this is our"

September 2002
2: "perfectly emtionless honor" should be "perfectly emotionless honor"
4: "till i had a nasty run in" should be "till I had a nasty run-in"; "to stand infront" should be "to stand in front"
5: "our Weapon's Officer" should be "our Weapons Officer"
6: "clearence to depart" should be "clearance to depart"; "Sweet Merciful Rodenberry" should be "Sweet Merciful Roddenberry"
9: "Captain's Log, Startdate" should be "Captain's Log, Stardate"; "Oh For Crap's Sake!" should be "Oh, for crap's sake!"; "shut-up" should be "shut up"
11: "heros enemy forces" should be "heroes, enemy forces"; "fireing torpedos" should be "firing torpedoes"
12: "to the Bridge" should be "to the bridge"
16: "intellegent" should be "intelligent"; "Merficul" should be "Merciful"
17: "chemcials" should be "chemicals"; "armoa of" should be "aroma of a"
19: "Ensign" should be "ensign"
23: "trade federationand" should be "Trade Federation and"; "i'm" should be "I'm"; "lietuenant" should be "lieutenant"
24: "use of those" should be "use one of those"; "specailized degree" should be "specialized degree"
26: "Sick Bay" should be "sickbay"
30: "Arch-nemesis" should be "archnemesis"; "Physics" should be "physics"
