Under the description of Mistform, exceptionally is misspelled as "exeptionally."

The caption should say "...he finds most interesting."

The Mictlan short description says "...but their infantry uses archaic weapons." This is incorrect, infantry is plural and so this should in fact say "but their infantry use archaic eapons."

I disagree. Infantry is no more the plural of soldier then pool is the plural of water droplet. The infantry is a single thing, regardless of the many infantrymen in it. (Also, "eapon" should have a "w" ;-)

However, Google tells me "infantry use" is much more common than "infatry uses". I'm not sure what grammar says about it, though.

As Wick says - Infantry is singular, denoting a particular branch of a military. Infantrymen would be denoting multiple individual members of the infantry, while infantries would be for multiple branches, most particularly for different nations / armed forces : "The eight allied nations performed joint field exercises, but their infantries had incompatible comm gear."
