"Server: You picked up a Apple"
should read
"Server: You picked up an Apple"
Just a small thing, but grammar counts.

That's harder to fix than you think. The message consists of the constant string "you picked up a " and the name of the item that has been picked up. To correct this small grammatical incorrectnes you would have to program a check if the first letter of the item name is a vowel and use another string in that case.
Oh, and by the way, even though it reads "Server:" it is a client sided message but well, you can't know that.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

The client would not be overchallenged by checking the item name's first letter for if it's a vowel. The problem is if one of the programmer's is willing to invest the time to implement it, because this problem is rather small and cosmetic and other things like the own server need their time more urgently.
The effort to save the article for each item would be even higher and in the long run it's the worse solution for sure.
