Here are more errors I found on [[MarioWiki:Glossary]]. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected. | |||
*"the smallest unit of storage - sufficient to hold one bit." (Change the hyphen to an en dash.) | |||
*Since "bot" uses a plural definition, I think the word should be "bots." | |||
*"Cover version (often shortened to cover)" (Put the second "cover" in quotation marks.) | |||
*"Not to be confused with remix." (Put "remix" in quotation marks.) | |||
*"It i'''s''' equivalent to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from which all other time zones are offset." | |||
*"Not to be confused with cover version." (Put "cover version" in quotation marks.) | |||
*"Short for ''Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message''." (Unitalicize "Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message" and put it in quotation marks, simply because other shortened forms on MarioWiki:Glossary are in quotation marks.)
