From 655708d235e96512e26d8efb31e0479b5df2ef7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: BodgeMaster <> Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:18:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] (many files): minor revision (mostly fixing language problems) Many of my comments like "translate this" or "what's the right word" have been filled in. Also, an honestly embarassing amount of spelling errors, missing words, double words, and special characters that I normally replace (like using – for a slightly longer dash instead of -). I proofread everything. How this happens is beyond me but it does.
