English errors and spelling mistakes

On the Hogwarts menu under Hufflepuff, the dorm should be listed with the plural possessive, not the singular. So it should read Girls' Dormitory (not Girl's Dormitory), just as it properly reads Boys' Dormitory above it.

Thank you!

Can't quite do that unless you want me to break the site. All of the houses had minor variant with the apostrophe in different places or even not at all. This is because you need slightly different names for the dorms because in case of moderation you can have some real weird stuff happen. I changed it to Dorm so it wont bother you as much with the proper apostrophe use and did other similar things for the other houses.

Ahhhh. Well then I have lived it with 4 years so can live it longer. I definitely DO NOT want the site broken. Please, no. That would be very bad. But thanks for the quick response!

Oh. You did fix it in a great way actually. Even better! Thanks, Lear.

Thank you! We've added this one to the list!

These are generally not necessary cause they technically still make sense... I just noticed that a lot of the spell descriptions in the shops are in past tense rather than present. For example, in the first year shop: (not the whole description is written)

Untransfiguration (Reparifarge) says 'a type of counter-spell, which involved returning something to its proper form,' in which involved would be involves. The Red Sparks Charm (Periculum) has 'a charm that allowed the caster to shoot,' in which allowed would be allows. The Opening Charm (Aberto) says 'a charm which opened doors,' in which opened would be opens. The Locking Charm (Colloportus) says 'a charm that closed and locked doors,' where closed would be closes and locked would be locks.

This is kinda repetitive, but some other spells with these types of mistakes are the extinguishing charm and the dancing feet charm(by the way, it's just listed as 'Dancing Feet (Tarantallegra)' in that shop, would that be 'Dancing Feet Charm'...?

Just thought I should mention it There are also some in the other shops(like flower conjuring, hive conjuring, pumpkin-head jinx, shrinking charm, softening charm, tickling charm, tongue-tying. I think that's all in the second year shop. also the first letter of Mimblewimble's description is not capitalized)... also in the second year shop, the Cascading Jinx (Ingens Explosiones) says 'a jinx used to attacking opponents.' This would be 'a jinx used to attack opponents.'

I feel like I just chucked a bunch of work on the table I am so sorry!! The Hot-Air Charm says 'a charm that caused streamed hot air to escape from the caster's wand.' Could this be 'a charm that causes hot air to escape from the caster's wand,' 'a charm that streams hot air from the caster's wand,' or 'a charm that causes hot air to stream from the caster's wand'? I didn't look at the other shops yet...

this thing is long... yikes... I am really sorry

Because they were copied in a lot of cases as is from the wiki. Some were mildly edited when noticed but unsurprisingly several were missed. Bounty to be given momentarily, you will understand this meaning soon.
