Alternatively, maybe the other two are missing spaces. I can't recall the convention.

The manual entry for Endurance seems to be wrong
Equation: +3 + (X/2) HP; bonus point at 10
Max: +10 HP
My math is 3+10/2+1=9
Also, duration is 15+X, this isn't mentioned
Also also, duration for proper grounding isn't mentioned either
Also also also, text for Mind Poke doesn't make sense:
Equation: 3-6 + X psychic damage; capped at 10 + X
Max: 13-16 psychic damage; capped at 20

All foes in the "fighting robots" have the description:

with an extra (or missing) dot.
They also have names like "a treaded robot" instead of the name being "treaded robot".

Mouths of Darkness
You venture into cave 8. So far you have gone through 4 sections of it.
Flood!
The back of the cave turns into a warm, damp hole in the ground, large enough to climb into. You start to work your way down, but a gurgling hiss from below catches your attention. With shock you have time to realize that water is
rushing up at your from below, before a
geyeser of water blasts you back out of the cave, scalding you as it rolls you mercilessly against the rough rock walls. You lose 61 HP.
A superfluous r on the end of "rushing up at you".
A superfluous e in geyser.

Two things, the latter of which I forgot to copy and paste. If you equip a suit, then equip a pair of pants, it says:
"Shirt unequipped.
You equip the pants."
When clearly it's a suit you're unequipping to get that message.
Second, when you relearn a skill in a run that you already know, the message has a large typo in it. I believe it's an extraneous you or they near the beginning of the sentence, I don't recall. In any case it's wrong >.>

In the description:
This guy is either a creepy fetishist, or he's dressed as one of those non-Spartan Arcadian guys from that one movie will all the yelling and killing. Hopefully the latter.
should be "with all the yelling"
In his miss messages (I couldn't get him to hit even my level 1 gadgeteer):
He starts screaming, but you'd had enough of this nonsense and these references. You kick him in a conveniently placed pit.
you've had enough, into a conveniently placed
He starts complaining, but you've dealt with customer service reps before, and this guy's bush league.
this guy is bush league (OK, this is actually a figure of speech, but it's not his bush)

Four inconsistencies noticed in names of items in the Wok.
First three are capitalization issues. In shops items usually follow the item's name capitalization. Not so with the following three:
Mystical slouch of sorcerous mayhem
Gold Star
10 Silver Stars
The last one:
1 empty picture frame - not sure why "1"
