Vera Hale: Certainly. United Stations, also called Union by some, is a confederacy of stations in north and central Underrail.  it's an attempt to unify the entirety of Underrail so that we could all work together towards a better future of the human race.

'towards a better future 'for' the human race.

Vera Hale: We currently have good trading relations with the union and I personally think it would be a good idea to be among the first to join it here in the south.  We are arguably the most powerful faction in these parts so we could position ourselves advantageously in their organization and also retain high degree of independence.

'in their organization and also retain 'a' high degree of independence.'

Vera Hale:  But let me ask you what is your opinion on the matter?  Would you like to see your station become a member of the United Stations?
option 2. response: 'I'm not sure. I'm reserving judgment until I learn out more about all this.'

remove 'out'

Roman: We're not sure.  it might be that the tunnel just caved in couple of places.......

'We're not sure.  It might be that the tunnel just caved in 'in a' couple of places.

Bisson: Hello, friend.  I don't believe we met. Name's Bisson.

'Hello, friend.  I don't believe 'we've' met.  Name's Bisson.'

Bisson: It's when you focus your mind to create a telekinetic ball and launch it at your target.  Impact is often so strong that if you hit a living target with it you'll likely to daze it for a short while.

'if you hit a living target with it 'you're' likely to daze if for a short while. or 'if you hit a living target with it you'll likely daze it for a short while.

End of First Mission.

Hadrian Tanner: Also, Gorsky has lead an expedition
 into the nearby GMS compound and he requested you specifically join them there.  Go the station platform exit and talk to Essie.

'Go 'to' the station platform and exit and talk to Essie.'

Hopper collection Mission

South Gate Sentry: If you haven't already, be sure to talk to Old Jonas at the Crossroads.  He knows more about the creatures lurking the caves than anyone.

'He knows more about  the creatures lurking 'in' the caves than anyone.'

Would it be easier if I collected a list or shall I just keep posting as I find spelling/grammar errors?

I hope this hasn't already been done, but when you talk to the old man Jonas at the crossroads he has many spelling errors in his speech.

I found two errors:

The first has been mentioned, but I think both suggestions are wrong:

Old Jonas
"From my experience it's the smaller groups or individual tunnelers that you should be vary of.
The word should be "wary."

The second:

Quinton
"If you preform one little task for me"
The word should be "perform."

That's what I have so far. I just got into the caves. Something about this game really clicks with me. I like all the design decisions. This is so cool.

Rathound Leather Boots from bringing Old Jonas back his watch,

the feint stench of this filthy creature remains.
the faint stench of the filthy creature remains.

Old Citizen through the trap door in the GMS compound refers to the player as 'he' when PC is female. When the raiders take you to their boss, they say 'his name is...'

Fixed. The existing rathound leather items will still have the typo though.

Not quite a spelling or grammar error, but still a typo. The item 'Sniper Rifle Frame: Harbinger' has the following description: 'This frame is used to create Corsair type sniper rifle.'

It references the wrong type of Sniper Rifle. And I suppose it should be slightly tweaked to say something like 'This frame is used to create a Harbinger type sniper rifle' or 'This frame is used to create Harbinger type sniper rifles'.

Very minor, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

One of Wyatt Pear's lines is: "Stayed here even when everyone else fled or gone insane from mutations."

It should probably be: "Stayed here even when everyone else fled or went insane from mutations."

Hadrian Tanner says "It's a town off the grid, built around, and from, an old junkyard. It's a dangerous place ran by two rival gangs."

Maybe change "ran" to "run".

Old Jonas, after accepting the junkyard drill quest

"Off to do some junk digging, eh? Just go to the far side of Mushroom Cove and take the tunnels north. If you don't mauled by rathounds or mind-blasted by psi beetles, eventually you'll reach the junkyard."

If you don't get mauled by rathounds... is how it should be worded.
