Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...

Pathfinder, no probs. Glad to help...

Thanks for the hint, guys!

It's sometimes hard to find these small spelling errors especially as English is not my native language.
Short example:
English: "Title"
German: "Titel"

Old habits die hard, even more in spelling.

Jawohl! Ich verstehn...

I bet I mispelled something.

Some of us with English as first language do worse.

As an Australian, I occaisionally get caught out by American spellings - eg Armor rather than Armour (English).
There are traps for all of us outside of the US!

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.

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.

P.S. Spyder, isn't it 'hear, hear'? I'm such a bastard.
