List of missing apostrophes, spelling mistakes, and other suggestions
I put each line in the game through After The Deadline API[www.afterthedeadline.com] using my application, and here's some of the stuff that it found (I filtered a lot the stuff that it suggested, I think most of that was irrelevant):



Spelling

anna1.rpy

Line 215: If anything were to change, it would obviously fracture the base this society is built on, cause it all to collapse, tear apart families and allow all hell to break lose.
Change: lose -> loose

xkevin.rpy

Line 357: Let's see if it keeps up once you have a few more semesters under your non-existant belt.
Change: non-existant -> non-existent


Missing apostrophe

anna4.rpy

Line 141: I'm a bit confused. Why dont you start from the beginning?
Change: dont -> don't

Line 599: Anyway, enough of that. I hope you dont mind me hanging around here. My place still looks like the police raided it. Oh, wait, that's exactly what happened.
Change: dont -> don't

bryce4.rpy

Line 729: I didnt know you were interested.
Change: didnt -> didn't

xkevin.rpy

Line 533: I dont know whats going to happen after that. I can only hope my visit here will have started something that will mean change for our world, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen.
Change: dont -> don't

xzhong.rpy

Line 375: I don't want to ask you this, but do you have some cash to spare? We really need some food and Huang doesnt like to go hunting.
Change: doesnt -> doesn't

xemera.rpy

Line 276: This is only speculation, of course, but I wouldnt put it past them to do something like that - no matter if it was with words, gifts or something else.
Change: wouldnt -> wouldn't

Line 719: You know how to please, dont you?
Change: dont -> don't

Line 738: You dont know what having to sit in an office all day does to my hips, [player_name].
Change: dont -> don't


Other (not necessarily mistakes, I might be wrong, etc.)

Most of those have link to After The Deadline (or other website) justifying the reason of why I included them.

anna4.rpy

Line 511: I know there's politics involved, and I know it may not ever happen, but this is my last straw, my last hope.
Change: there's politics -> there are politics
Reason[service.afterthedeadline.com]

Line 723: I'm a scientist. Truth are facts that are empirically verifiable by science and tests. After all, the tests I do in my job are to find out if assumptions are true or not.
Change: Truth are -> Truth is (this might also be changed to `Truths are`, but this doesn't seem fitting considering that the conversation is about singular truth)
Reason[service.afterthedeadline.com]
(This sounds a little weird to me either way)

bryce1.rpy

Line 82: Now, please excuse me before I miss happy hour.
Change: miss happy hour -> miss the happy hour
Reason[service.afterthedeadline.com]

chapter1.rpy

Line 2348: I was so young and naive back then.
Change: naive -> naïve
Reason: naïve is used in 2 other places (anna4.rpy, xemera.rpy). I think that this might be intended (because it's part of the book you read, so the style doesn't need to match), but I decided to report it anyway.

chapter4.rpy

Line 4313: I was to be sent alone to setup the lab and the portal so the rest of the team could arrive safely.
Change: to setup -> to set up
Reason[www.future-perfect.co.uk]

sec.rpy

Line 1634: Because we still have make this attempt successful. And you need to do what you did in the timeline where we managed to achieve our goals.
Change: have make -> have to make

xemera.rpy

Line 655: She lay down on a mat and pillow she had quickly produced from somewhere and presented her back to me. I briefly wondered if she kept these items in the office for occasions just like this one.
Change: lay -> laid
Reason[service.afterthedeadline.com]


Correction of my previous report:

chapter5trueending.rpy
Line 396: Not so in my case. Once the media got ahold of it, rumors ran amok about what I was going to do. People fixated on small details and exagerrated the procedures outlined in the experiment.
Change: exagerrated -> exaggerated
What I'm correcting: I did list incorrect file (chapter5evilending.rpy) last time.



Other remarks:

help.rpy

This was tested on 1366x768 (fullscreen) resolution and while windowed.
The three lines that are on the right (`F Key - Fullscreen`, `S Key - Screenshot`, `Middle Click - Hide text`) are slightly misaligned.
Trying to move their position seems pointless because it seems that their position is different based on current resolution.

You may want to try reading some of this stuff out loud before making corrections.

All I did this whole time was try to find ways to contact you so you could talk to our people and figure something out for me. Why would I escalate the situation like that?

There is nothing wrong with what Reza said here.

For your correction to even be correct, it would have to be like this:

All this time, I have been trying to find ways to contact you so you could talk to our people and figure something out for me. Why would I escalate the situation like that?

Both pretty much mean the same thing.

At first I wasn't sure why so I decided to read a little bit to find out why, and I can see now why I made my mistake. Word `was` threw me off a little bit. I'm used to seeing `was` when using past continuous, but this is not the case here.

I believe that this is the same reason why After The Deadline caught this as a mistake.

Anyway, I'm removing it right now.

Thanks for pointing these out! Appropriate changes have been made and will go live once we release the next update.
