"One people survived"

[Giga-bite.exe]

This urks me in games where there's "survivors"
And it tells you how many people survived or whatever?
ANd it's like..."5 people survived"
Kay
That's good
And then if only 1 *person* does, it says ONE PEOPLE SURVIVED
ONE
FRIGGIN'
PEOPLE
This seriously bugs the crap out of me, being the Grammar Nazi I am (HEIL!)
And I've seen it a lot in games.
Like, crap, coders. Learn your stuff. :/ Make the game read when there's one PERSON left, and make it say one PERSON.
Next time I see "One people survived", or anything of that nature, I'm throwing a bus at an old lady. >:/

Yeah They code it to day like 10 or 20 people have survived.

They can't really Code it when 1 shows up.

I guess Game devolpers need to figure out HOW TO CODE 1!

They're lazy, or they just don't have time to add that function. Most likely the first one.

I'm pretty sure it's "One people survived" even if it sounds wrong.

Code: Select all

if nSurvivors == 1
cout << "1 person survived." << endl;
else
cout << nSurvivors << " people survived." << endl;

instead of

Code: Select all

cout << nSurvivors << " people survived." << endl;
