Spell mistake

[Xx_Ace-Killer_xX]

Wrong grammer…?

I think this should be “making” instead of “make”.

InterAction seeing this instead of a meaningful gamebreaking bug report: 0_0

[trueuser]

this is gamebreaking! absolutely unplayable! iA fix it this instant!

edit: i was joking btw dont flame me lmao

[ordinary_ryxt]

first off, it’s grammar.

second, the phrase “Reduced damage and a hard power limiter” is the subject of the sentence.
it’s what’s doing the action. the “make” here is the main verb of the sentence, not a participle acting as an adjective or part of a verb phrase like “is making”.

@ordinary_ryxt

first off, it’s gramm a r.

*edits post* wdym anyway??

@ordinary_ryxt

second, the phrase “Reduced damage and a hard power limiter” is the subject of the sentence.
it’s what’s doing the action. the “make” here is the main verb of the sentence, not a participle acting as an adjective or part of a verb phrase like “is making”.

“It shows: reduced damage and a hard power limiter” how is that a subject? Its obvouisly an object being “showed”.
If it will be " make" then it should be “it’s reduced damage and hard power limiter make it…”

This should be the sentence..
“…it shows: reduced damage and a hard power limiter making it…”

Plus, why are we arguing lmao.

[ordinary_ryxt]

you know there’s a bunch of issues in that reply too, but i can’t be bothered to point them out. maybe someone else will.

here, i asked gemini to provide a more detailed explanation

The user’s primary error is in their understanding of the subject and object of the sentence. In the original sentence from the image, “it shows: Reduced damage and a hard power limiter make it only suitable for the complete newcomer,” the phrase “Reduced damage and a hard power limiter” is the compound subject of the verb “make.”

• The verb “show” has a separate subject, which is “it” (“This is the ‘starter’ edition and it shows…”).
• The colon introduces a list or explanation. The phrase that follows (“Reduced damage and a hard power limiter make…”) is a new independent clause with its own subject and verb.

The suggested rewrites are also incorrect:

• “it’s reduced damage and hard power limiter make it…”: This uses “it’s” (a contraction of “it is”) which makes no sense grammatically in this context. It should be “it shows” or perhaps a different phrasing altogether.
• “it shows: reduced damage and a hard power limiter making it…”: This version turns the second part of the sentence into a fragment because “making” is a participle and not a main verb. It creates a dangling modifier, leaving the second part of the sentence without a proper subject-verb pair.

The response additionally contains several mistakes:

• “grammer”: The correct spelling is “grammar.”
• “showed”: This is the past tense of “show,” but the user is discussing a present tense concept, so “shown” (the past participle) or “showing” would be more appropriate, though neither fits the intended meaning.
• “Its”: The user wrote “Its obviously,” but the correct word is “It’s” (the contraction of “it is”). “Its” is a possessive pronoun.
• “obviously”: The user spelled this as “obvouisly”.
• “will be”: The user wrote “If it will be ‘make’ then it should be…”, which is grammatically awkward. A more natural phrasing would be, “If it should be ‘make’…” or “If ‘make’ is correct…”
• Sentence Fragmentation: The user’s final suggested sentence, “it shows: reduced damage and a hard power limiter making it…”, is a grammatically incorrect sentence fragment. The correct form from the original text is a complete sentence.

My point still stands.
You asked gemini about spell mistakes in my reply, though grammar is still correct, the only issue is me using “its” and “it’s” incorrectly.

[ordinary_ryxt]

“it shows” is already a clause, a grammatically correct sentence on its own. written after the colon is another sentence. “making” is grammatically incorrect.

[matix524]

The green line is the subject of the sentence.
The red line is the predicate of the sentence.
Let’s see…

Yeah, this sentence is both grammatically and structurally correct.
Replacing “make” with a gerund “making” just doesn’t make sense and it’ll turn this completely fine sentence into an ungrammatical one.

As it was said before, the green line is the subject and there are two noun phrases (I’ll just call them things to give you a better image) mentioned in the subject, namely: “Reduced damage AND a hard power limiter”.
Two things. And what’s the word when there’s more than one? A plural.
If there was just one of these things mentioned then this would be a singular and instead of “make” you use “makes”.

“Reduced damage makes it only suitable […])”
Plural never uses -s so it just defaults to a bare infinitive, hence “make”.

There are better ways to explain this but I tried giving an easier example to convey.

The green line is the object being shown

[ordinary_ryxt]

in this context, “it shows” means something is noticeable, obvious, or evident to someone, indicating it’s clear or can be seen. so confidently wrong.

[Xx_Ace-Killer_xX]

Doesn’t it also mean “it has” or something around that?

[trueuser]

no.
