I went through the entire script and fixed all the small typos, mistakes and imperfections I could find.

Translations are not affected as I’ve added an id statement(?) after every changed line. (Though I did have to include the non-english versions for the files that use the old/new string replacement system as well.)

What this does

  • Grammatical changes:
    • Fixed the uncountable amount of apostrophe usage errors
    • Fixed typos
    • Rephrased weird sentences here and there
    • Changed the tense in some places to be more clear or to fit with the situation better
    • Fixed the capitalisation of “Mom” and “Dad” where it was wrong
    • More various stuff I don't remember
  • Typographical cleanup:
    • Changed all quotation marks to the and symbols, in line with what’s preferred in American literature; However, if single quotes are desired, it should be a simple find-and-replace job
    • Changed all apostrophes to the curved character
    • Replaced hyphens with em dashes where appropriate
    • Made sure all ellipses have a space after them
  • Some things have been standardised:
    • All ellipses are now {cps=*.1}...{/cps}, unless they already had another character speed set or unless it made sense to use more than three full stops in a particular location
    • All phone conversation lines now use the same formatting with italics and the {fast} tag

Please feel free to review all the changes and tell me if you’ve got any objections. I’ve left comments in some places to hopefully explain my reasoning for some of the more complex changes.

I started work on this before the Thai translation was released. I tried to keep my local copy updated but I guess this must have slipped through, sorry. Definitely not intentional, gonna fix it when I come back home on Sunday.

Microscopic regression, you misplaced the } in {fast{w=.2}} here.

Other than that, it looks good, just fix the missing }, update the branch, then I'll approve.
