When using the production queue, it will briefly display this message when a new turn begins and the current build in the queue finished:

"Work has now begun on a..."



1. Bug: It will always say "a". Never "an" for e.g. due to the building/unit starting with a vocal (like Oxford University).

2. Bug: The sentence doesn't make any sense when you queue Conversion to Wealth or Conversion to Science.

The ''Work has now begun on a...'' is the standard message when a city is going to build a new thing you previously put in the queue, or when a puppet begins building something.

Since most of the buildings are a singular noun, it's fine to say ''Work has now begun on...''. However, some few buildings, like walls, makes the message incorrect grammatically. And things like wealth makes the message absourd, indeed.

Probably Firaxis wasn't thinking on ''let's make sure that message is always correct grammatically'', but ''we're using that message to tell the player that a city is going to build something on the queue list''. I wouldn't classify this as a bug, but I'll admit it is a little annoying for me when that happens.

(Sorry for bad English)
