I can not find the old collection threads, so I thought I make one of my own.

The main reason for me posting is this right now is:
"It resembles a X analog".

Analogy is defined as:
"A relationship of resemblance or equivalence between two situations, people, or objects, especially when used as a basis for explanation or extrapolation"

resemblance is defined as:
"similarity (taken as a whole, the qualities than make two or more things similar)"

So the sentence parses to: "It is similar to something that it similar to a X". At least for me, that is one similar too much.

It should be either a "it resembles a X" or "it is a X analog". I think the later one would fit better.

I don't really object to the use of analog described above - it parses fairly cleanly and fits with the definition of analog ("a person or thing seen as comparable to another"). By saying it resembles an analog of X rather than saying it resembles X, it suggests it shares features or behaviors of X, but doesn't closely resemble X - it helps flavor the description to make it sound more alien.

My longest-standing typo pet peeve remains:

"Proppler Engine Efficiency" should be "Propeller Engine Efficiency"

I have been meaning to post these: (some of these might have already been reported)

Adminstration should be Administration (in the Factions Overview in Reports)

Excuted should be Executed (Incident with a hard sentence)

Edcution should be Education (This was failing to meet a goal it has: 'Your average Eduction Score is 50 Points. And that is lower than 56 points we promised..")

Recruted should be Recruited (from "Orders have been issued.....Please be patient while personnel is being recuted and offices are being acquired" when setting up a new Org.

Privilleg should be Privilege (from Ancient Luxury Resort text: "...Your leaders love the privillg to visit."

Non-Agression Pact should be Non-Aggression Pact (Stratagem Card)

Another dead thread that addresses an issue...
