Use the correct spelling for Jailer

Postby Jason246 » Fri Dec 24, 2021 9:48 pm

At the moment the game spells it as "Jailor" but this is incorrect.

While jailor does not appear in the dictionary, it is considered a synonym of jailer, and it has almost the same pronunciation, but the correct one to use is jailer.


Searching for the definition of "Jailor" on Google will always default to the correct spelling that is "JailEr"

Merriam-Webster lists jailor as an alternate spelling of jailer, making both correct.

And? Jailer is the preferred term and searches will default to Jailer. The world uses Jailer.

Actually, both spellings are correct and can be used interchangeably. So the game already uses the correct spelling. Just because it's less commonly used (although, I reckon that's just dependent on who you ask), does not mean it's incorrect.

Uh huh.

No results:

As I previously, and correctly stated, the world uses Jailer (except BMG of course). But it's foolish of me to expect BMG employees (or whatever you are) to acknowledge and fix a simple spelling mistake.

The company isn't Dutch, and I'm not sure what me being Dutch has to do with anything. If anything, you're actually being reasonably offensive about it, so I highly suggest you quit while you're ahead, instead of trying to be an edgelord who is being offensive while he's at it.

Instead of worrying about how others choose to spell Jailor, I'd worry more about whether or not you're being a dick to people who don't do what you ask when you ask it.

So a bit of advise: Don't be a dick. No one died and made you king of the world.

And as a secondary thing: You can consider this your public warning for violation of rule 8 for that last comment you made, in what I assume is supposed to be Dutch.

Jailor looks better honestly :o.
Not like it's a huge game changer though whether it's changed or not. Also NA spells it like Jailor dk bout EU however.

Jailor looks more right to me personally maybe because im used to it?
Jailer eh at the end of the day it's spelt both ways in different places so it doesn't matter which spelling is really used.

According to Google Ngrams Jailer is used approximately 5 times more often than Jailor. So Jailer is definitely the more common spelling, but Jailor isn't completely wrong.

Either way I don't think this is a big deal.

Just rename the role to "Gamethrower".
My Name Picks:

Royal Match - my default pick
Melon King - when someone named themselves Pumpkin King
Godfather - for role theme or to just bait people
Cottan Mother - to cause confusion
