hello,
those are not really bugs, since they don't affect gameplay (much), but still
* spelling:
- when I see boots on the ground, message says like "there is a steel boots". shouldn't it be "there are steel boots"?
- when an item (or a monster) is mentioned ie. in the hall of fame, the article is always "a" even when the word starts with a vowel ie. "a imp", while it should be "an imp".
- in few places where numbers are involved, there is always plural: "1 gold badges", "1 wins" etc.
- there is "this is not a weapon worthy of a marksman, isn't it?" while it should be "(...) of a marksman, is it?".
EDIT:
Fixed!

* other
- maybe I just don't know how to do it, but the message coloring thing (defined at the end of doomrl.ini) fails, when a message breaks in two lines (at least in past messages viewer)
- modified combat knife doesn't have mod names attached
- I'm not sure if those little, blue arrows in sliding screens are high-ascii, but they appear broken even with high-ascii set to false.
- last line from the message list is missing in post mortem

"Spell Check" suggests changing "doomrl" to "Demerol" OMG LUL

Hi spooky fox, thanks for the heads up.  I think we will try to keep track of all these little spelling issues here so that when Kornel has time to work on DoomRL again he can go fix the typos and grammar errors.

Thanks for the list!

Your first two items are already fixed, the rest are noted and will be worked on before long.

The first item in the "other" section has no known fix at the moment, and I don't know if it will happen ever. =/

Spelling errors are fixed.

More in depth on the other section:
Item 1: will probably not be fixed.
Items 2 and 4: are being worked on.
Item 3: Can you give me more info? I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Enter the Past-message viewer screen. There are arrows showing that is there text up from the screen and down. If you printscreen them in text, they appear to be broken in some of the fonts. I think that this is bug?3.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.
