    [3.4 RC] Minor typo

    ... and really difficult to reproduce too!

    - use detect treasure on a level with a mimic (potion, scroll...)
    - stand out of LOS and use something that can harm the mimic (wand with ball effect, spell...) so it gets "revealed"
    - you get the message "The an unknown item was really a monster!"

      Having text that has two articles referring to the same object isn't flavor; it's just bad grammar.

      Whether or not the message should be shown at all is a separate question. There's no question that the message, as implemented, is not proper English.

      But then I suppose you wouldn't be the one to judge that, would you?

        The fix should be something simple like:

        Code:
        if (o_ptr->marked == MARK_AWARE)
        {
          if (prefix)
            return strnfmt(buf, max, "an unknown item");
          return strnfmt(buf, max, "unknown item");
        }
        in object_desc().
