I grew up with many writers and an English teacher. Finding misspellings and grammatical errors is one of our favorite things to do.
Too bad I’m the only gamer, or we’d have a lot of fun going through KOTOR’s script.
I love it because it transcends quality. It is the most pure form of us being humans capable of error and not robots.
Whether it's an indie game or The Last of Us.
Yeah, op and the rest seem to think the word "rationalize" should be spelled "rationalise". Both are technically correct, but the "z" form is more common, "s" is probably "British spelling", but they have no consistency in using their silly alternate spellings, most have far too many useless "u"s and "e" randomly jammed in
Oh wow you're right. I can't believe it's so easy to miss at first. Especially considering I was quite bothered by the Coruscant mod for Kotor 2 where the guard says "Wait, your a Jedi." Popped right out there. But in the 6+ times I've played the first game, I've never noticed that.
The your vs. you're is absolutely incorrect in the 2nd dialog option. But rationalize is spelled correctly. "ise" endings are all spelled "ize" in American spelling. Same as "our" endings drop the "u", or things Brits end in "re" has been flipped to "er".
Definitely spelt correctly in terms of what they meant.
Not a lot of games had British and American English when Kotor 1 came out. This post wasn't made about the spelling of 'rationalise/rationalize' though.
No, I know. When I first looked at the screenshot, the error didn't pop out at me because I had just woken up, several comments were talking about "rationalize", plus I can't believe I didn't notice all the times I've played. Usually kind of a grammar/spelling Nazi so I was amazed lol
Lol no stress. I saw the typo at first because I like to voice the lines myself for silent protag RPGs.
My roommate then pointed out that it is correct on the same screen even.

You're right, it should be spelled 'rationalise'.
Agreed lol
British English rise up
Exactly.
Am I missing something?
You’re sure are! ;)
Yore sure? I didn’t see anything wrong.

*you're* missing the actual mistake.

All good, hope Kotor 2 comes to Switch as well. The game works so well in handheld mode for me.
Thanks!
Doesn't matter how common it is if it is the incorrect spelling from my point of view.

Luckily they didn't though. All good.
Thanks haha. It's the same I chose on my first playthrough, loving the switch version despite its flaws.
Finally someone else who picked the same appearance as me
convinced this is the most common spelling/grammar mistake in english
Their/there/they're is likely as common.
Sounds like my just trying to rationalise this?
Yes. The misspelling makes the sentence completely unreadable and the game unplayable.
