I Know It's A Minor Thing (Bad Grammar In Vo Dialog)

[GrimMyfanwy]

And to be honest I didn't notice this until it was pointed out to me, but now that it was, it grates on me like the devil's nails on the chalkboards of hades. 

In interceptions, Lotus tells us that "More signals are being broadcasted."

It should be "More signals are being broadcast," or if you want something that sounds better "The enemy are broadcasting another signal." In both cases the correct present tense of Broadcast are being used.

 

I know it's minor, but I feel the bad grammar is just jarring every time I'm farming for T4 Keys.

It sounds fine to me, but why is it bad grammar?

[GrimMyfanwy]

The sentence is in present tense, but the broadcasted is past tense.

Like saying "This is the program I am planning to ran." or "do you want to ate that?"

Actually, it just sounded bad, but thanks to the power of the internet I learned that it is correct to use it that way thanks to the article here: http://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/41666/can-i-use-are-being-past-participle

 

so...

Nevermind.

I was just on that page as well ^-^ learning new things every day (in case tone doesn't translate well on the internet, I was genuinely curious as I'm not a native speaker and I literally learned something new just now!)
