Typos Abound?

From the Thunderbolt review of this Matrix Edition game;

"There are also a number of little typos and grammatical issues throughout the game. For a product driven nearly entirely on menus and text, this was a major disappointment. Nothing really ruins the feel of a "legitimate political simulation" like basic typos and capitalization errors. It really takes you out of the experience... Typos Abound. "

Any plans to fix this. I came very close to an impulse buy just now.

Honestly, I haven't noticed "typos abounding". Could you provide a link to the review?

Adam,

Ok, I read through it. I have to say I've played through numerous times and spotted one typo that I can recall. I don't know where the rest are hiding, but I guess this reviewer either found them all or is extremely bothered by typos (or both).

I would not categorize this game as being full of typos, this is not like playing some poorly translated Japanese import game. It seems well written to me.

Regards,

- Erik

I'm english, so some people think I can't spell if I use 'colour' for example. I got a lot of grief over 'Planetary Defence' as a game title.

Just to add - I got this game yesterday and I've not found a single typo.

And also, referring to other posts, I'm running this on Vista Premium on my laptop with no problems whatsoever.

I'm very impressed with this so far - makes a great distraction from WITP, COTA, etc and doesn't take anywhere near as long to play a game through
