I am pretty sure TDD bought a star and gotten 2500 points from it. No problem with that but I think it is time to avoid the grey area from last month as soon as possible.
If you want to keep the extra points system for each star bought,again no problem, we will have to adapt again I to it guess. But please make it clear to us as soon as you made a descission. If you don't have the time yet to close the loophole, let us know or ask us to hold of donations or tell us all 2500 points this month will be deducted again when the loophole can be closed. no justifications are needed if you want to keep the point buying, just a short confirmation will do for me (and I think for many of us). |

at 4:16 AM, Friday May 2, 2008 EDT Montecarlo, I appreciate those words very much. Thanks for standing up and pointing out to the entire community that writing in a second language isn't always so easy. In fact, considering Belgium is mainly a bilingual country (Dutch/French + some German), you could call English my 4th language.
Bugaboo-X, thx for your advice, feel free to advise me anytime. I kinda knew the rule but I guess I forgot to reread the title. But I know I tend to make mistakes in my posts, especially those boring long ones. I usually am too lazy to copy paste my messages and use a spell checker. I will try and do it more often but just to be safe, sorry for all my mistakes in my future posts. CONCLUSION: you both made a very good point, no need for further arguing I think. @ Everybody, thanks for the bumps, and now let's all hope Ryan can find the time to make a short comment. |

It seems Jurg is trying to provide a sincere communication to Ryan that will help to avoid conflict in the future and potentially make the game better for all of us. The message also seems very clear in his communication. Why try to turn it into a 7th grade english composition class? Jurg does not need to be corrected and none of you have been chosen by higher authority to do so. Can't you simply suport or not support the intent of his message? Or is it that you just don't understand it? He makes a great point and I fully support his suggestions! |

at 7:26 AM, Friday May 2, 2008 EDT Thanks, J.
It has been my experience that ESL speakers usually appreciate small tips so they can improve their mastery. Native speakers don't give a -- well, you know. (Me? I tried German in college. And Italian on my own. And Spanish from my wife. They haven't stuck yet. ... My wife, on the other hand, has learned at least three other languages for her master's degree work. ... So you have my sincere respect for that.) And here's your bump one more time. I'm setting my flag and moving to a new map. |

at 8:32 AM, Friday May 2, 2008 EDT "Advise" is also a noun. As in the Constitution, which has the phrase "advise and consent of the Senate".
