For both of the meth lab crimes, the success message is "Result: You manage to have all the right ingredients except one, but you manage to fudge it to work. You make a stash of meth and find a pusher to sell em for you. He buys them off you for $XXXX."

"Sell em"? So, like, I have five meth, and I need to sell 'em? Um, no. That should be "find a pusher to sell it". "Meth" is not a plural; it is a collective; you have "some meth", not "several meth". Not only is this illiterate, it isn't even fancy illiterate; it's street illiterate.

And, yes, it bothers me. I have solemnly pledged that I will not donate another red cent to this game (and I've donated plenty) for as long as I continue to be ignored about this, and the TEN SECONDS it would take to correct the issue remain uninvested.

For a self-styled grammarnazi, you certainly managed to mangle the language quite a few times, and in a rant ABOUT grammar of all places. I have to admit: your grammar IS quite good, relative to the norm, but it still leaves much to be desired if you are to seriously (read: not hypocritically) criticise another's grammar.

Sincerely,
