Fixing Spelling Errors in Game: An Impossible Dream?

<< < (3/3)

Quinctia:
Now that I reread it, it looks like a text string that wasn't actually done before the game shipped.

Once in awhile, if I couldn't think of something to title a paper I was writing, I'd put a huge bold title on top:  INSERT TITLE HERE.

If you look at the end of that box is says:  TEMP.  Needs to be written for reals.

As I am a horrible person who tends to use cutesy made up terms all the time like "for reals," I think that's what's going on here.  Sounds like a few different potential lines and then a "Don't forget to finish this!!!!!" note.  Which someone forgot to finish.

I was working on a government contract about 10 years ago, and was given a system document done by a different contractor to read to help the government decide if the system was worth still updating or not.  About halfway through the document, where obviously a screen shot or the like was supposed to be, was the caption "some shit goes here".  I laughed my ass off -- the document was at least 4-5 years old, had been officially delivered to the government agency, and no one (to my knowledge) ever caught that. :)

BastDawn:
I once read a published paperback novel that had the text "insert diagram here" written in bold text between paragraphs.   ::)

I accidentally sent a job application where I forgot to change [company name] and some other variable from my form letter.  No one complained, but I didn't get called to interview either.
