So this has ALWAYS been a pet peeve of mine; since the beginning of my Sleuthing.
*NOTE: This is not as big of one as the waiter/waitress 'fiasco' was*
Take a look at Sleuth Admin's detective page, for example.
"Politics
Order o Socrates: Good(10)
Arcanum Brthrhd: Good(10)
Cosa Nostra: Poor(-3)
Eastern Triads: Good(10)
Circle of Light: Poor(-2)
Green Hand: Good(10) "
Notice that of is "o", not "of" in Order of Socrates
Notice that Brotherhood is shortened, and the word Dies is completely absent
"La" is missing in La Cosa Nostra
Isn't it "The" Green Hand, "The" Eastern Triads?
Now I know this was done because of margin widths, but can it not be fixed in any way? It's not only annoying, but also can be confusing as to what the factions are called. Perhaps they could even be shortened to just OS, LCN, DAB, GH, CoL, and ET? (Although that would be very confusing as well)
Just something that's always bothered me.

...don't get me rhyming...
...and sit and rhyme in strange time zones
whilst playing sleuth in monochrome
(and I’m a smartass it’s well known
so please don’t tutt in hurtful tones)
just think how this has bloomed and grown
from homonymns and homophones :D
