Typo and Grammer Errors Options

[Golden Thief]

Thought you might want us to post all the typo and grammer errors in one spot so that whoever is doing the corrections doesn't have to hunt for them posted all over the place.
This only came to after I saw the second one.
Also could you tell us how much of the exact text do you need to be able to find and correct it.
Here is one.
Fake Arundel: Arundel is bleeding......"There is a portal in his room you may use to come back to you world."
Wouldn't this be better as "... go back to your world"?

"You were lucky this time....."  One of the PC's possible responses to Hrothgar contains the phrase, "....seeing him stood...".  The word stood should be changed to stand. 

Without going into the too lengthy an explanation re- grammar:
The past and past participle of the verb *To Stand* is *Stood*.
For PC. to say "... nonetheless, it was still a shock to see him *stand* there..." denotes present tense, but the use of the word *was* in the same phrase, denotes, past tense. As Xan had moved away and was no longer standing there, we do need the past tense in PC's response. Hence, "... nonetheless it was still a shock seeing him stood there..." is correct in this instance
Saying that, it would also be correct for PC. to say, "... nonetheless, it was still a shock to see him *standing* there..." In this instance *was* denotes past tense of the word *standing* which may be used in past/present and future tenses. The English language is/was/and can be a slippery beast.

Your vigilance on picking up the typo error re- Xan: "To move a student forward before understanding what has gone before could prove hazardous not any to the student.......". The word any should be changed to only. Thanks cheeseberries.

Vlad, one to note and change.
