Here are some of the spelling errors I came across. Now, English is not my first language so feel free to correct me :)

reserve1 :

Left one "[...] We're very close to bankruptcy.[...]"

Middle one "Do you know the reason why [...] I then sent letters, but I haven't received any news from them. I even tried to contact the owner himself [...] into the log tunnel, but it seems that [...] I'm still demanding payment [...]"

Right one "[...] suddenly went into bankruptcy, but I have[...] in the middle of the night.[...]I am waiting to receive the funds[...] this week. I promise, I'll pay you in cash when I receive it"

reserve2 :

"This is my last day of work here.

After financial problems started to stack up in the company, Hartman started to become more stressed and unstable. The more unstable he grew, the more he failed to see even the most obvious solutions to save the indebted company. Instead he kept blaming Walter for everything, especially after he was forced to sell this company. After the loss of his wife, Hartman started to record hateful messages against Walter, craving for vengeance.

This is my testimony for any future investigation of these events.

Katelyn

Soon to be ex-secretary of Hartman."

tunnel4 :

"Yesterday, Erik was injured because something went wrong with generator G2. Part of the ceiling collapsed and Erik was under it."

watertreatment :

Illegal OPEATION in the Control Room :P opeation

And that's about it for now. Like I said, not English so don't hesitate to correct my own spelling mistakes ;)

There are some clear typos which should be fixed (even when I have seen far more worse typos in real life).

Some others are more or less intentional, in example, some simple logging company manager and general service personnel doesn't write perfect english, but secretary would (unless she has been working under a lot of pressure recently).

I think that in some cases small mistakes will make the game world much more alive and lifelike as the world isn't perfect. Many of the design flaws and errors can be explained with poor work morale and culture of indifference of the Stalburg's workers, which is related to other themes of the game.

Also "not litter" is a explanation that the geocache is not garbage that someone left, so no one thinks its "hey, someone forgot their food box here, lets throw it in the rubbish bin". Its not to tell "do not litter" which is a entirely different thing.
