Typo Thread bugs

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Name Theme: United States

This name seems like a mistake: "Major Wm Sugarman assigned as Commanding Officer of...

Google shows that Sugarman is definitely a real last name but Wm shows up as the stage name of some Soundcloud rapper. Maybe it was supposed to be William?

The United States theme is a download of US census data from a few years ago. The top 2,000 first names and 50,000 surnames.

So, it can't be a typo?  Hard to imagine that even with 2000 first names, just "Wm" would be popular enough to be included. America truly is a land of strange things.

Maybe there is some area of the US where that is used as an abbreviation frequently enough to make the list.

According to this reddit thread, it does exist.

If you work with databases of the general public in the Uk you will cease to be amazed by the weirdness of names and spelling mistakes of names you encounter. There is no name too weird for some parent to use

A typo someone on Discord pointed out but seems to not have made it here:

in Missiles/Kinetics research the tech line for Active Termal Guidance +X% should probably be rather Thermal Guidance?

SJW: Should be Terminal. Fixed for v2.4.0

It should be Active Terminal Guidance.

Following the successful survey of alien ruins by xenoarchaeology ground forces, the attached message appears as an event.

It states, in part, "... their language and symboloy have been translated..."

I presume it should be "symbology"

Magazine NeutralizationSystem - 98% Chance

The above is a copy paste directly from the DB, the game has been rendered unplayable by the missing space in the techsystem name.

"Genetic Conversion Rate 16m"

Thankfully the actual "AdditionalInfo" value in the DB seems to be the correct 1.6m, it's just the name that's forgotten the decimal separator.

"Genetic Conversion Rate 16m"

Thankfully the actual "AdditionalInfo" value in the DB seems to be the correct 1. 6m, it's just the name that's forgotten the decimal separator.   

Confirming that this showed up in my game a few days back as well; I still haven't done that research level so I wasn't yet sure enough about the effect to post.

Edit time: tech just finished; conversion rate is 1. 6m as expected, only a typo in the tech's name.
