I've seen previous threads pointing out various strings in the game that sound British, and them being changed to match American forms.
When getting a blue result on an Armed Robbery, a possible result message is "Knowing you're not in the right mood to die today, you spin around and run out of the shop, notes flying everywhere."
"Notes", in standard American English, is not used this way. We would say "Bills". My wallet is full of twenty-dollar bills, not notes.
1. Open Blackjack. Enter bet of 10,000. Play a hand.
2. Without touching the bet input box, press PLAY. As expected, you put up a bet of $10,000. Play that hand through.
3. Go to the far left of the number "10,000", and insert a zero. Note that this causes the comma to disappear. Arrow to the right, backspace the 1, and insert a 2. It should now say "020000" (again, no comma), and the BET in the upper left now says $20,000 as expected. Press Play and play the hand, betting $20,000.
4. Now, you should see the box still says "020000" but the BET is $10,000 in the upper left. If you press PLAY, you will end up betting $10,000. To reiterate: The box says 020000 which should parse to $20,000 as it did in step 3, but instead our bet is $10,000.
Note that in step 3, when we punched in our bet of $20,000, it did not "stick" and carry over into step 4. Steps 1 and 2 demonstrated the expected behavior. Steps 3 and 4 show that the unexpected input in step 3 causes step 4's bet to be wrongly parsed. Screenshot of this unexpected behavior: [image: i.ibb.co]
This could be potentially harmful if a player intends to reduce their bet (for example if they go from 10,000 to 01000, they will only run a single hand at $1000, before their bet is increased against their will to $10,000).
Currently while traveling, the main navigation buttons at the top of the screen are a little confusing at times.
If I am in Hospital while abroad, and I'm viewing, for example, my Events, the options I have at the top still list Market. It also does not list Hospital. This is in contrast to when I'm in Torn and in hospital, and it takes the Hospital to the top of my Areas list (above Items). It would be great if the Market tab (when Market is inaccessible) could be changed to Hospital when in hospital abroad. Currently if I'm looking at Events there's no way to view my Hospital page (Besides clicking Market which takes me to Hospital... a little counter-intuitive).
Another request: Currently there is a button called "Travel Home". I interpret this to mean "The Homepage you see while traveling". I see "Travel" as an adjective for Home, rather than a verb saying we are traveling to home (home being Torn). When I want to go back to the Market page (which is the default page while traveling, what I would call the travel homepage), I sometimes accidentally select Travel Home. Then the "Are you sure?" message has two options which are, if I recall, "Go Back" and "Cancel". To me, "Go Back" would suggest the same behavior as canceling. That is, when I see something that says Go Back, it means undo my action.
I'd request for the Travel Home button to be changed to "Return to Torn", and for the confirmation button to be changed to something like "Yes, Leave Japan", replacing Japan for the relevant country, of course.

There are a lot of things in the game that happen on a "daily" basis, which refers to what day it is in England. Specifically, Torn operates under Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), sometimes referred to in game a Torn City Time (TCT). This is the same time system used by, for example, astronauts, as a single standard time zone that doesn't have silly things like Daylight Savings.
Every day at midnight UTC, you get your 75 tokens. If you look at your message saying "OK so literally just got my 75 tokens", you posted it at 12 minutes after midnight, so that lines up perfectly!
Other things that happen at midnight include getting paid by your job, resetting your 100-a-day limit on buying items in shops, and the chance to find items in the city.
