"Allmighty" typo.

September 20, 2009 1:39:12 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Am I the only one that noticed that the word "Allmighty," as in the achievements "Oak the Allmighty," "Regulus the Allmighty," "X-Demigod the Allmighty," is not actually a word? Like, I'm not trying to come across as some grammar or spelling nazi, and I'm open to the possibility that this was completely intentional, but it looked off to me, and sure enough, the word is supposed to be spelled "Almighty," and "Allmighty" on dictionary.com has no results.

So, just to satisfy my own curiosity, is this something intentional, or is this a typo?

pretty interesting, but it may not be a typo, not with there being an AllFather and such.

Yeah, its possible its intentional, but it'd be pretty funny if it really was a typo no one noticed until now, I think.

That's like saying "I prefer to spell it 'rediculous' instead of the correct way."

 

It really is not a matter of preference.

Yep, it is either Almighty, or if you like All Mighty.

Same with Always. Either All ways, or always.

 

Though I am sure Almighty is more in reference to an absolute power or reference to one above all, as in reference to religion. Whereas All mighty would be a little more meaning mighty in all attributes, as in superman or mighty mouse! They are all mighty but not a power above all.

 

Either way, Allmighty is not a word, but then what is real in the wonderland that is demigod?

Those don't actually mean the same thing. Like, not even close. In the most common interpretations and definitions, always refers to time more than it does the amount of ways, as in "People ALWAYS cause a desync when I'm close to winning! BLAST IT!" , wheres "all ways" would be synonymous with "every way". in referring to the specific amount of ways, specifically all of them.

I am pretty sure "All mighty" would not make sense grammatically if it were applied to an individual. Not positive, but pretty sure.

My point exactly. All mighty is similar but different than almighty. All ways is similar but different to Always - Like "we have lost count of all ways to cause a demigod crash". "There are all ways to make it happen, but it doesn't always happen".

Words like almighty came about by abbreviating words like All mighty (or at least their origins.).

Stardock / GPG was never known for attention to detail. Hence errors / bugs and no match making system for an online only game (if you count single player as a game, you're kidding me right?)
