Seriously, NOBODY caught this before going to print?
Leave it to Capcom to screw up something as easy as spelling the word "Revelations." This is the kind of thing that could have been caught by any spell-checking software or a person with at least one working eyeball.

These ten examples prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, Capcom needs to hire somebody who knows how to use a dictionary!
