While setting up a new custom domain this morning I noticed the following error on the admin:manage Custom Domain page:
You can also set up to 3 "301 redirects". This means that if these domain are handled
should be changed to "if these domains are handled"

In every page which contain [[module ManageSite]], there is typo at:
manage site… » Members » Policy » Membership Policy > Applying for membership, the example in code block shown:
[[module MembershipApply]
actually it should be:
[[module MembershipApply]]
missed the close-square-bracket I suppose?

When I tried to delete a forum post… here come the message
Delete forum post
Are you sure you want to delete the above post? There is no way to recover deleted posts.
The post you want to delete is placed in a nested environment. All other posts that depend (are lower in a dep tree) are also surrounded by a red frame and will also be deleted. In most cases it is better to edit the post instead of deleting it.
What is dep? I search in the dictionary and get nothing… should it depth?
and how about… http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-146069/spelling-mistakes-new#post-484259…

oh yeah you're right… but in general, common abbreviation for dep are:
dep.
· abbrev.
1 departs.
2 deputy.
I think it should be changed accroding to what Rob have posted. Thanks Rob…

This still reads correctly, but it assume the user is male or female. In addition, it also brands my favourite Wiki engine =D

When a user with an existing wikidot account tries to join a private site the message is:
Please make me a member of your marvelous site.
In the UK this spelling would be considered a spelling mistake as marvellous should have 2 ls. In the USA the spelling is correct with 1.
To resolve that conundrum I would remove the word altogether, it's really not needed and it strikes a wrong note with me anyway.

leiger 1258066132|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
It "strikes a wrong note" with me as well, but I didn't have any suggestions for an alternative sentence. I suppose just removing that word would be enough.

Oh! Okay!
You see, I thought you wrote that marvellous should have two eyes (I've written this phonetically, I'm talking about the letter after H and before J). I hate that a capital I is sometimes identical to a lowercase L.

I've made an issue request for the site manager, Marketing panel, "Adjective you use to describe your site: _".
Just kidding. One rule of plain writing is to never use adjectives. The M word will go and maybe we can insert the actual site name.
