:::Still, even if the typos aren't fixed, should we really keep them in there? Consistency is important, but the changes were quite minor. Yes, it's the principle of the thing, but ... Meh. If you/Head Chroniclers don't want it changed, though, I'll gladly revert what I did! — [[User:Kenner|Kenner]] 03:01, 11 April 2008 (GMT) | :::Still, even if the typos aren't fixed, should we really keep them in there?

::::I would actually prefer you beat those responsible for penning such atrocious works first and force them into submitting to making all the necessary corrections, but just maintaining the integrity (even if it is poorly spelled, consistency-devoid integrity) of the original documents is important and, sadly, enough. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 03:06, 11 April 2008 (GMT) | ::::I would actually prefer you beat those responsible for penning such atrocious works first and force them into submitting to making all the necessary corrections, but just maintaining the integrity (even if it is poorly spelled, consistency-devoid integrity) of the original documents is important and, sadly, enough. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 03:06, 11 April 2008 (GMT) | ||
:::::Sure thing. I'll revert the changes ASAP if (''when'', probably ...) I get a reply to my e-mail that says the documents can't be fixed IG. See below. — [[User:Kenner|Kenner]] 03:19, 11 April 2008 (GMT) | |||

''Okay, Krypton. Instead of issuing (because it turned out to be REALLY LONG) I've sent this message to Achaea's support e-mail:'' | |||
Hi, Achaea Support! | |||
As the editor Kenner on the Chronicles of Lore, I've currently been working on fixing the typographical errors in a lot of documents: the Charter of Oakstone, the Twelve Tables of Cyrene, and so on. | |||
Copies of these documents are included in the Lore archives, and I've been going through and correcting the typos on each copy. | |||
However. The Lore copies are taken directly from IG, which means the spelling and grammar errors in them are also reflected in Achaea itself. | |||
It'd be excellent if these errors were fixed both IG and OOC, but (for instance) the Twelve Tables of Cyrene is actually contained within an adventurer-written journal, if I remember right. Would the gods/Celani/typo-fixers in Achaea bother working on documents written by adventurers? Works like the Twelve Tables are public and official, so I thought maybe yes; but they're written by adventurers, so maybe no. | |||
(Or should I just try to contact the adventurer authors -- some of whom may be long dormant -- and ask them to revise their works?) | |||
Please check out http://www.achaea.com/lore/Category_talk:Documents for some back-and-forth banter about this matter. | |||
Thanks! And sorry I emailed rather than issuing! It'd be a VERY long issue. :) | |||
