Tiny grammar error
« on: August 27, 2008, 05:02:31 pm »
Just got an artifact with the following sentence in the description:

"On the item is an image of a Gabbro mechanisms in Smoky quartz."

Note the plural noun with an indefinitive article in front of it - "a mechanisms".

Those dwarves haves some extreme engraving skill.  How do they show the gabbroness of a object carved in a mural of quartz?

There's also no plural for cheese. At least, I've got a save-file of a fortress filled with engravings of "two cheese".
