Member Early Adopter Feb 24th, 2018 Posts: 399 Pixpets: 309 Pixdex: 53 | 5 Years ago Sep 18th, 2018 - 3:01 AM Nr. 21 #551 There is an item called "Trinuts Seed" but the plant is called "Trinut Plant". I think it should be one or the other - either plural or singular. ("Trinut Seed" is probably the correction that needs to be made, based on the naming of Orange Pumpkin Seed.) Also on the inventory page: If you click on the button "Delete Item", the selected item will be deleted immediatly. It cannot be brough back! Placed items cannot be deleted. It should say "immediately" and "brought". The same errors exist on the Pixpet inventory page as well, in the Release Pixpet text details! Another typo I just encountered by trying to make this post... in this error message: You have tried to send the same formular twice by reloading this page. No action has been taken. If this message keeps reappearing please enable cookies in your browser and accept the 'Use of Cookies' message on the bottom of this page. It should say "formula"! |

Pixpet Inventory Game Menu -> Pixpets -> Pixpet Inventory The Pixpet Inventory functions as an overview of all of your pets. Currently, there is space for 100 of them. From here you can place Pets on your Home Grid which is the black area to the right in the game. Pixpet Eggs will only hatch if you place them in your home. Once your Pixpet hatched, you can send it on a Hoard. It is also possible to place Eggs on the Pixpet Market, release Pixpets or name them after they hatched. The first instance of "hatched" should be "hatches", and the second one should be "hatch". 3. Pixpet Overview Game Menu -> Pixpets -> Pixpet Inventory -> Click on any Pet This is a long one, but the most important part of the tutorial, so stay with me! The Pixpet Overview page will display all information about the selected Pixpet. Once a Pixpet hatched, you can send it on a hoard, evolve it and get sharing links. Same thing here - "hatched" should be "hatches". 5. Item Inventory Game Menu -> Item Inventory The Item Inventory holds all items you own. The space is currently limited to 200 slots, however you can make more space by placing items in your home. There are many different item types which are devided into two main categories: Decorative Items and Consumable Items. Decorative items are used to decorate your home and increase your Pixpets Satisfaction Level (SLVL). Consumable items can be used by you and your Pixpets for the games progress. This should say "divided" instead. 11. Housing Game Menu -> Housing -> My Houses Your house essentially defines how much space you have for your Pixpets, pumpkins, plants and decorative items. Houses are divided into different House Parts. The bigger the house, the more house parts it has. Each house part can be up to 10x10 (100 tiles) big. House parts are divided into two categories: Inside and Outside which defines what items can be placed in them. Outside house parts like the Frown Yard and Backyard hold Pumpkin Slots. The number of Plant Slots is defined by the house type and can vary. The number of Pixpets each house part can hold depends on the house part type and size. Some house parts cannot hold any Pixpets at all, like the Attic or Basement. Also, some houses have house parts which need to be bough additionally. These should say "Front Yard" and "bought"! |

Member Early Adopter Feb 22nd, 2018 Posts: 18 Pixpets: 0 Pixdex: 0 | 5 Years ago Sep 18th, 2018 - 9:41 PM Nr. 26 #575 under "Hoard Status" after hoarding, it should be "[Pet] needs to rest for a while." instead of "[Pet] needs to rest now for a while." the now is redundant and makes the sentence sound awkward. |

Congratulations fo hosting this Auction! You received the highest bid minus the 3% (or minimum PC 1) item market fee. The “fo” should be “for”. |

'His' should be 'his/her' if I am correct. Since looking at the badge "Bronze item Placer Badge" it reads; "[Username] placed 10 items in his/her home." |
Member Early Adopter Feb 22nd, 2018 Posts: 18 Pixpets: 0 Pixdex: 0 | 5 Years ago Sep 19th, 2018 - 11:50 PM Nr. 29 #621 might i also request that all instances of "his/her" be replaced with "their"? it isn't only less time consuming to type, but also more inclusive. i use they/them pronouns myself. |

Both inclusive, and honestly, just better sentence flow. (Sorry, just using 'his/her' instead of they or their is kind of a pet peeve of mine ;; v;;) Also, this isn't a typo, but was wondering if replacing the word 'wet' with the word 'damp' for the plants would work better? I was kind of confused between 'watered' and 'wet' since they sort of sound like the same thing, whereas 'damp' is slightly a step down from that while also retaining some water. |

Member Early Adopter Feb 22nd, 2018 Posts: 18 Pixpets: 0 Pixdex: 0 | 5 Years ago Sep 27th, 2018 - 2:52 PM Nr. 35 #845 in the inventory, you're allowed to "replace" an item that you've already placed in your house, and in doing so, you can move the item to a different spot on the grid. using this word to describe this action doesn't make a lot of sense, because the word "replace" means to swap one object out for another or put an object back where it was originally after moving it elsewhere. a word that better describes the function would be "move." i also feel like using "take back" to describe putting an item back in your inventory leaves room for confusion, because it confused me initially. i think that "put away" is simpler and gets the point across a bit better, but that may be more of a personal opinion than a grammar thing, so i'm going to ask that others weigh in on that one! |

It does work a bit, but using an apostrophe is actually grammatically correct for that situation. When you're talking about possession of something, you use an ' to show this. So Akuma is correct when it would be "User's House/Pixpets" rather than "Users house/Pixpets" Here's a lil example with some dragons for a grammar lesson :> "There are many Dragons flying around." "The Dragon's egg began to hatch." Make sense? |

I did notice a few more things today that could be corrected, though. Ganymede pointed this out for Delete Items, but the same dialogue exists for Release Pets: The second E is missing from immediately, and the T is missing from brought. Under the Pixpets tab: Maybe I'm crazy, but I could've sworn the third option used to say "Pixdex"! Did I imagine it? Is this the Mandela Effect in action? A couple of instances where "can not" should be "cannot". These can be found under Inventory and Combine Seeds, respectively. If you haven't already changed this, I also agree with Ashmee and MahuruRaji that instances of "his/her" would be more inclusive if switched to "they/them". And regarding apostrophes: Nooo! Believe in the apostrophes! They will set you free! D: I agree with VampVixen; they're vital to good grammar and would add to the professionalism of the site. I understand that they can be confusing, especially if players can't agree with each other on the right way to use them, but there are a lot of grammar blogs and sites out there which have pretty much covered everything. What I'm trying to say is, if you ever think that one of us has offered a miscorrection (not just regarding apostrophes, but anything really), you'll most likely find the right answer online! To specifically address @Akuma's post: 99 percent of your apostrophe corrections are correct. The only one that I believe is wrong is peoples'. By putting the apostrophe after the S, you've pluralized a word that's already the plural form of "person". That's not to say that "people" can't be further pluralized (e.g. "the indigenous peoples of America" refers to multiple tribes) but in this case we're talking about only one group of people, i.e. the players, so you would put the apostrophe before the S (e.g. "The People's Republic of China"). So I believe @Dog was right on this one, but again, all of your other corrections were spot-on Akuma! Edit: Almost forgot! Should be Giant Clover |

Member Early Adopter Feb 22nd, 2018 Posts: 10 Pixpets: 0 Pixdex: 0 | 5 Years ago Oct 11th, 2018 - 11:11 PM Nr. 40 #992 I noticed that on the page for sending a pet out to hoard, the description for pixpet potion reads "increases the chance to find pixpets" - given that the pixpet potion gives a temporary level boost and that it's the pixpet finder potion that increases the chance of an egg, this description seems to be incorrect entirely |
