I was just going to send you a discreet email, but the shortcut key only pops up an email service for which I don't have any access, so...

Anyway, I was just going to say that there is a minor spelling error in the game. Maybe it's intentional to avoid any potential problems, but ouija is spelled o-u-i-j-a, not "oiuja".
Anywho, a little nitpicky, but trying to help that professional image.

Love the game. Addicted to the game. (Anyone have any plans for meetings of FQ Anon?)

I found a few spelling mistakes too. The main one is when a customer is "pissed". I am sure it should be spelt "chipper". Another one, is where "super rich" is spelt as "poor" :-)

Seth,
Got another spelling typo for you. (Honestly, I don't look for them and this one has slid past me for months now, and I just noticed it the other day.)

"Ghost Written Obutuary" should be "... Obituary"

Also, apostrophe usage. Like "Crypt with Lower Bunk's" shouldn't contain an apostrophe, and I think their were some other errors on the same strain. Basic rule is if the word is plural, there is no apostrophe before the "s". If the word owns the next word, then as a possessive, there is an apostrophe.

Trying to help you look good, one word at a time.

Hori, I'm just trying to help. This is my favorite game! I'd love to see it out there in the big time competing against those multi-big-dollar games.
If I wasn't so set on being a math teacher, I'd become an English major...
There are so many things in the media that completely disregard spelling and grammar, and I mock them and usually avoid them. If I have the chance to help, then why not. (None of us are perfect, although I sometimes wonder about WarMaid, who I noticed managed 4 perfect sales today! Way to go!)
