fix the huge amount of its/it's errors on card/walker text

No joke--every last instance of "its" to denote possesion in the game is incorrect. In game, it shows as "it's", which is actually the contraction of "it is". Hell, the error even pops up in the last update FAQ.

I understand how people confuse its and it's--after all, we're taught to throw an apostrophe S at the end of a noun/pronoun to denote possesion, but "its" is the same as "his", "hers", "mine", "yours", etc. You wouldn't write "hi's" or "min'e". Same goes for its.

I'm sure you could get your IT guys to run a find-and-replace through the card and plansewalker DBs as a quick fix.

    Yes, yes, yes! "it's owner", "it's controller", "it's power" and so on really bug me every time I read them, which is a lot in this game icon_evil.gif
  • Another grammatical error that is all over is the use of "less" instead of "fewer." All the story challenges say things like "Lose 4 or less creatures..." The correct phrasing should be "Lose 4 or fewer creatures..."

    The less/fewer one really gets me every time too.

    Yes, please fix this. I submitted a bug report in the summer about this, and was told it would be fixed. Instead more errors were introduced with SOI, including the non-existent word its'. Blew my mind to see that one. I hoped the "updated text for SOI" would fix these errors, but nope.
