    On Android and iOS, the tooltips for Item slots (of any color) read,

    "This (color) slot is for (type of items). Drag Here Items with (color) background for use in battle."

    The issues are underlined.

    Proposed corrections: (color) slots are for (type of items). Drag items with a (color) background here for use in battle.

    Could not get an image as the issue mentioned is sourced from a tooltip!

    Thanks again for your time.

    (EDIT: confirmed for iOS)

    This isn't an issue. Barely even a significant grammar error. More like casual talk

    Here is a screenshot from iOS: 800293C1-F35D-4B14-AA9A-63934949E8EA.png
    ‘Drag here items with red background’ sounds like something out of a ‘Made in China’ user manual. xD

    The second paragraph also contains errors. ‘More advanced’ is a compound adjective, it should have a hyphen. There is a comma required before ‘but’, as it’s a separate clause. I would also suggest using ‘available’ instead of ‘free’, to avoid ambiguity.

    Its not TECHNICALLY an issue, as it doesn't really confuse the reader in any form. However you don't think of these types of grammar errors as things that make much sense to make when at least 75% of the team know English. EVEN Square Enix's (English) games dont have a lot of grammar errors and those people are HQed in Japan (they have a much larger budget, but the point still stands). True it doesn't break the game. But it still has an effect on certain people and how they view the devs. And you may not care about grammar being used correctly in a game, but some people notice errors like those.

    Just note what you think isnt significant may be worth noting to someone else. Its like the old (and rather clichéd) saying, "One man's trash may be another man's treasure."
    That can be applied to more situations than the flip-phone. (my father still uses one. (and somehow thinks that those were the stuff.) I never thought those were cool though.)
