Some spelling corrections

I know this might be nitpicking, but I've seen some spelling errors that seem to be consistently perpetuated in the forums and, after a while, they just become annoying.

It's HANGAR, not HANGER. Hangers are those thingies used to hang clothes and stuff. A Hangar is a structure to hold aircraft or spacecraft.

It's THALARON Radiation, not THALERON. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Thalaron_radiation

It's AGGRO, not ARGO. Aggro is slang for aggravation or aggression ("I will draw aggro [from the mobs] while you rescue the hostages"). Argo is a name for quite a few things (a movie, a ship from Greek mythology, among others).

It's not TOVAN KHEV; it's "that annoying guy I want to shut up". :P

Feel free to add you own nitpicks.

    What annoys me is the tendency of NPCs to refer to a race in the singular, rather than the plural, in the patrol/exploration missions.

    i.e.: "the Klingon" rather than "the Klingons", for example.


    But it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the game. It's just a nitpick.


    In the forums, the tendency for players to throw out MMO gamer slang and "initial soup" left and right. While I understand (though I don't use them in my posts), it would confuse the hell out of new players who may have never played an MMO before. The typos pointed out by the OP only compound the problem.
