Comment

Added a fourth patch, for English messages from the code which weren't addressed in the first two patches. Many of these are related to spell or ability descriptions or the messages for the start or end of a spell or ability.

Uploaded two new collections of patches from git format-patch with suggestions for corrections to the English messages. The first, english-help-grammar-clarity-corrections.txt, is for the English files in lib/help. The second, misc-english-usage-part4.txt, is for more changes to birth.c and autopick.c.

I uploaded another set of suggested changes as misc-english-usage-part5.txt. It corrects a spell mistake in the Hunter's office, a spelling mistake in one of the ability descriptions in mind.c, and makes another adjustment to the description of the ranger class.

Comment

The hengbandforosx repository on osdn.net, git.osdn.net:/gitroot/hengbandforosx/hengbandosx.git , has branches that incorporate these changes and more for English messages. The master branch is based on your master branch. The patches attached earlier to this ticket were relative to that branch. The For2.2.2-Refactoring-English branch is based on your For2.2.2-Refactoring branch. The For2.2.2-Refactoring-All branch incorporates the changes for the English messages, the changes for the updated OS X interface, and other changes that aren't specifically related to either the English messages or the OS X interface.
