Spelling error: (I think, i'm not native english speaking, so if it's correct tell me)
In pirate ship description:
Maintenance costs reduced by 5% do to advanced Technology
-Should do be due ?
-small t ? (I know I'm nitpicking, but if you fix due you can also fix that)

due - Some one is owed something.
Due to has been widely used for many years as a compound preposition like owing to, but some critics have insisted that due should be used only as an adjective. According to this view, it is incorrect to say The concert was canceled due to the rain, but acceptable to say The cancellation of the concert was due to the rain, where due continues to function as an adjective modifying cancellation. This seems a fine point, however, and since due to is widely used and understood, there seems little reason to avoid using it as a preposition.
do - as a command.
Thanks. Spelling is not one of my strongest suites.
