I don't think there is even one person here who hasn't played Doom and doesn't know from there which enemies shoot what. Doomrl would be nothing more than the ASCII if you really haven't. It's the flesh of the fantasy you indulge in.
With that in mind, coloring the projectiles, although adequate, wouldn't change much. Plus you see them for only parts of a second.

Anyway, I was just ranting about foolishly assuming that the final bosses weapon would be easily resistible.

Actually, I've played the original Doom only once that I can remember, and that was at least 16 years ago. There's no nostalgia factor with me, and I really do enjoy the game on its own. I imagine I'm not alone in this, so it's not that strange people (especially the younger generation) would have no working knowledge of the intricacies of a game from 1993. But I fear I'm getting off topic.

With Intuition, you can see levers with "Force explosion (here)", but they kill the barrels in the whole level.

What it actually says is

There is a lever (forces explosions) here.

Here is where the lever is, not where the explosions are forced.  I can understand the confusion, but the "here" matches the pattern of all other items when you walk over them.

Oh! I feel stupid now =)

Not really a typo, but I've noticed that the player is always called 'he'. Somehow I doubt there are very many, but it would be nice to be able to adress the female players properly.

This has come up before, and the response seemed fairly ambivalent (or perhaps mixed) to me.  I would be in favor of adding a config option to select player gender, but I'd be open to what other people have to say on the topic.

If we follow canon, Doomguy has always been a "he".  Not to say that having a gender choice variable hiding somewhere is not a good thing; it is mostly cosmetic and will probably require quite a bit of work fixing all the un-extracted strings from within the source code, so not sure if this is a high enough priority.

Doomguy is, after all, a Son of a Bitch/Gun ;)

And Dualgunners always "left with two girls."

That doesn't automatically mean it's a man :p

Not so much a typo as much as it's an issue of proper English, but when you pick up the Light-Amp Goggles, it says "You see further." As a general rule, further is more for metaphorical distances, farther is what you'd want to use for physical distances. (Reference.)

I feel like a jerk for even pointing it out, especially given how many English-as-a-second-language folks we have involved in the project. In any case, there you have it.

You may be glad to hear that I found this interesting, since I never realized there was such a distinction. Thanks.

I was just reading a post mortem post and noticed that under kills it says "4 lava elemental" without plural.
