Jawohl! Ich verstehn...

I bet I mispelled something. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Some of us with English as first language do worse.

You do awesome for English not being your native tongue, Mephisto!

Heck, English is mine and I can barely understand the jargon in the data files. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/tongue.gif heh heh

Here, Here!
Two of my Favorites (those that bug me more than normal) which I see frequently Online, where you have to type to speak, are:

Then instead of Than (this one really gets me...its basic diction);
Their, There & They're (I don't think anyone gets these right).

For me it's "your" (belongs to you) and "you're" (you are).

Related:
"its" (belongs to it) and "it's" (it is)

Or something like that. Too early in the morning. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

P.S. Spyder, isn't it 'hear, hear'? I'm such a bastard. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

I really don't know Zen http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif I always thought 'Here, Here'

But, you're correct...mistakes between Your & You're I see a whole lot also and should have been on my list...

the It's and its is less of a problem because the meaning is relatively clear in context...the others sometimes require re-reading the text to get their meaning....
