I think that at the very beginning OL overwrote his brain so that whenever someone says "wow" he always hears "whaw".

Who's to say that Martians use idioms in their language? For all we know, they might take every idiom the SI and Kon (and M'gann) use quite literally.
"A penny for my thoughts? What's a penny?"
"There's more than one way to skin a cat? Why would you do such a barbaric thing?" "Especially to one as cute as Teekl..."
"Bite off more than you can chew? I didn't know Earthlings could distend their jaws."
"Let the cat out of the bag? What was it doing in there in the first place!?"
"Hit the nail on the head? But where else would you hit it?"
"Curiosity killed the cat? What do you people have against cats?!"

Well M'gann watched Earth TV about a show called Hello Megan, so I can totally see S'monn watching a newer show called Gurren Lagann.
I found it funny to believe that the spelling is an inherent property of Earth 16, so that if OL ever goes to another plane the spelling changes.
Don't look entirely Martian
And social norms
News media... Isn't a thing
Directs it through
In work areas?
And start losing
Are completely Martian
From the pictures of the YJ Martians I just looked up, Martians don't even have pupils, so I'm unsure how he could see what the Martian is looking at so precisely. Given the distance it would be difficult to tell even for a human.

Inference? Mild usage of desire-sight letting him know where people focus their attention?
Before the whole burning martian thing was the atmosphere on Mars thicker?

Nah, remember the Martian porn star who returned home? With his shape-shifting and how often cat girls are sexualized you can't tell me he hasn't taken a cat girl form before.

Thank you, corrected.
I think this is the UK/US groups things again.
Thank you, corrected.
He's drawing a conclusion rather than asking a question.
Thank you, corrected.
She was one of the more Human-looking ones.

Oh, no, I was referring to work/works. I am the one who was unsure.

What's the adjective form of "M'arzz"? Because it would likely be "Martian society" if it were using the English spelling.
twenty-nine
"works" as in "public works," not as in "under construction."

"Modern Earth society" sounds normal for me, better than "Modern Terran society" or "Modern Earth's society", so I think it's fine as is.
Hence why I'm unsure.
So I wonder if M'gann will be sharing her knowledge of Star Conquerer telepathic and telekinetic amplification nodes with other Martians. Seems like it could be a game changer for their society.

"Great. First J'arknn decides to try to infect us with weird human sexual fetishes, then M'orzz shows up trying to get us to turn into starfish! What next, is the orange guy going to try to light us on fire?!"

I was thinking of a burning Star Conqueror with a human face instead of an eye.
But the Martians are a varied bunch.

Ah, heck. This is what you e-mailed to me months ago, isn't it? Sorry for not getting around to it ever.
Thank you, corrected.
It's simple and he's under to pressure.
The SI misremembered.
Whaw, I really don't know how to use the word 'its' at all, do I?
Thank you, corrected.
It's circumstantial. He uses avarice to fly. As he says, if he doesn't care he slows down.
Thank you, corrected.
No, it's (used it right!) marking the horizon.
Thank you, corrected.
No, but I think that she's the one his mind would go to and he hasn't checked up on her yet.
Thank you, corrected.
I've converted one!
Thank you, corrected.
Really? You don't say 'half hour' where you're from?
Thank you, corrected.

You Zoat, there's this wonderful tool called a spellcheck, using such a tool would avoid you a lot of pain. Though perhaps you're into that kind of self flagellation. Hey, I don't judge.

That remark itself has an excellent example of stuff a spellchecker doesn't catch: 'You know Zoat'

No, they're calling some other poster a Zoat, you complete and utter Zoat.

There weren't any actual spelling errors in that set of corrections. It was all grammar errors save for one plausibility issue.

That goes into the realm of automated grammar checkers, and those are nowhere near as reliable, and they get choked up really bad on informal speech.

- Actually pretty lost
I figured it was meant to be "Yo" not "you", which would also not be caught.
And nah, some of the better ones would catch it.
