Character movement

[Po. Prune]

When my NPC moves in a direction a message comes up telling the player that: "Merlin moves to the East" which is fine. But if the NPC moves either up or down the message reads: Merlin moves to the above (or below) I can't deny the truth in this message but it looks weird.
Is there a way I can change it myself, or will it have to be an enhancement thingy?

An enhancement request sounds reasonable to me because the default output doesn't look right, though a text substitution would be the first thing I would try in the meantime.
