Character mistake: When Clare explains to the main character the purpose of the sceptre he's holding, she says "It's value is only in the information that exists here." It's the possessive pronoun 'its', so it's got no need for its apostrophe here.

Treasure of Nadia
Character mistake: When you are required to pick up books in Diana's library for one of the mini quests, one of the books in your inventory is "Perennial's of Cape Vedra." It's a plural, 'perennials', no apostrophe.

Super Robot Wars V
Character mistake: One of the possible messages that happens when Yamato faces Le Chevalier during mission 7 ("Cosmic Crossroads") prompts Kodai to say "This is the ship that is guarding the Pluto base." It's a phrase that fits their previous encounter when Shulz was in fact doing that, but since then the Pluto (or "Plato" base as the Gamillans call it) base was destroyed (by the Yamato itself, even) and they moved past it.

The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In the "Before battle" segment before battle 5 in Angel of the Ring part I, Kula during her introduction spells at one point "peropero" with an extra p, "peroperop."
4th Jun 2022
The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In the "Before Battle" segment before the fourth stage of Angel in the Ring part I, Angel says about the 'zombie doll' that "it's bad breath puts me in a bad mood", mixing up verb and possessive pronoun.

Burning Rival
Character mistake: Mr. Chin's rather uneventful ending features a spelling mistake in the last screen, when it is said that he's very happy in his new "kichen."

Burning Rival
Character mistake: In the presentation of the outlaw mud show fighters (insert coin demo roll), it is said that they may be in pursuit of wealth or "the title of the worlds greatest fighter." Obviously it should be "world's."

This is the President
Character mistake: One of the 'missions' involves sending one of your staff members at the Miss USA pageant. The text of the positive outcome does not adjust for the gender of the person you sent; even if you sent a woman, the result is "He was as cute as a kitten."
20th May 2022
Treasure of Nadia
Character mistake: When the protagonist reads the expedition diary, the entry "The cursed arrival of the Spanish Fleet" recites that "Many of the traveler's met their end", with an obvious grammar error.
20th May 2022
Treasure of Nadia
Character mistake: The first time that Diana mentions the mysterious civilization that produced the 'treasure', she mentions that "They survived in isolation until the 1500's." It's a plural, 1500s, no apostrophe.
Suggested correction: Both versions are acceptable depending what style guide someone chooses to follow. Anyone saying different is just stating an opinion (well, until all style guides decide to follow one rule). It's similar to plural letters, as in "mind your p's and q's."

Better Luck Tomorrow (2002)
Character mistake: When Ben and Stephanie are studying, she repeats the stages of mitosis (which should be prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, with minor differences in the way textbooks divide them) out order; anaphase, metaphase, interphase, prophase. She is supposed to be an A student and Ben, who is also smart and reading from the notes and textbook, says she is right. (00:18:55)

The King of Fighters '95
Character mistake: In the Kyokugen Karate team ending, Takuma says that Saishu (Saisyu) "Couldn'tve died from that." At most it'd be "couldn't've." The dialogue preceding the fight features also obvious mistranslations (such as Saisyu talking about being 'resurrected') and general SNK weirdness (like Ryo calling his Italian pal Robert "samurai-head").

The King of Fighters '95

Character mistake: One of King's winquotes says "I'm am woman, hear me roar."
14th May 2022
The King of Fighters '95

Character mistake: In the cutscene before the fight against Saisyu, Rugal addresses King from the Women's team as such "Your mine, Kingy. Kiss, kiss." Besides the total cringe of an obviously made-up 'translation', this Rugal really has some problems with basic grammar.
13th May 2022
The King of Fighters '95
Character mistake: In the first Rugal cutscene for the Ikari Warriors team, Rugal fails at basic grammar when he says "It seems that ARE friends need to be dealt with."

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1
Character mistake: For being a genius raised abroad, Takato's English pronunciation is abysmal - check out when he says the line about the magic crystal on stage. (00:12:40)

Being a DIK
Character mistake: During Act 1, Steve invites the romantic interest of the protagonist to ride his (dad's) Mustang. Prominently featured amongst the merchandise they sell at the store, packages of Fruit Blast cereals advertised as having "DELICOUS taste."
13th May 2022
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Character mistake: Seven of Nine asks Tallinn to lay down suppressing fire, so they "split up." She explains "We have twice as many chances to get to the ship if we divide and conquer." 'Divide and conquer' (Divide et impera, for the Romans) means to keep the opposition weak by favouring the conflict between their different factions. It is not used to describe splitting up your own forces to have better chances to make it out of a trap alive.

Trancers (1985)
Character mistake: In the opening credits, the actor Art LaFleur, correctly credited as such in the end credits, appears as "Art Le Fleur" (00:01:00 - 01:15:50)
12th May 2022
The King of Fighters All Star

Character mistake: In the finale of the third part of the collaboration with Street Fighter V, the announcer Serina's sign-off line is "That's all from SERNIA."
