Glulx Spec: List of Typos

Open tajmone opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Since I'm reading through the whole Glulx Specification, I'll add any typos I find to this issue, as I go along, instead of creating a separate issue for each typo.

This repository contains only the Html version of spec, so I wasn't sure whether I should make my amends there and create a PR, or if you have your own source document that you then convert to Html.

§1.2: The Memory Map

I'm not quite sure about these, but they sound odd …

[…] the 36-byte header is part of ROM.

  • [ ] Maybe: "the 36-bytes header"?

[…] RAMSTART, EXTSTART, and ENDMEM must be aligned on 256-byte boundaries.

  • [ ] Maybe: "on 256-bytes boundaries"?

No, non-plural units is correct.

I did have some reservations in fact (especially since it occurs more than once). It's just that it sounds out of place — i.e. the header is 36 bytes, so the singular caught my attention and confused me.

It sounds like "The only 28-day month is February."

I'd say that's also correct :).
