I must admit my use of the language isn’t always perfect, but (as we all seem to agree) some improper grammatical use really can drive you insane.
‘for all intents and purposes’ and ‘couldn’t care less’ seem to be two things idiots the world over can’t seem to comprehend – even though the crap they spout instead makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

Another one that drives me nuts is “for all intensive purposes”. Augh! I’ve seen allegedly professional writers use that… which also makes me wonder who’s editing them. Writers need editors just as programmers need QA testers — no matter how good you are, you won’t catch your own mistakes nearly as well as someone else will.

Then and than … aggro and argo.

Just a couple more for your perusal. Likewise I find it’s more a case of lazy writers than ESL folks abusing the “text talk” crappola.

In this sentance, “You do not use it show plurals!”.

I think you missed a word.

Lizard aptly points out how litigious people tend to be and how real world software development doesn’t leave a lot of power in any individual’s hands. It’s a machine and it is that way because of the massive quantities of money and content involved.

Generally, as with most software development, you have engineers/scientists who build the actual product and business people who market, finance and sell it.

The former wants perfection and the latter needs things to ship on a schedule.

It is what it is and you can mash your head against the wall but that’s how it works. If you had to go through formal user acceptance tests with an expected negligable defect rate these games would either become irrelevent or bankrupt long before release.
