Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...

[God Emperor]

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.

I really don't know Zen 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....

...But, as a comment to Mephisto's grasp of the English language....I wish my Son (18)& Daughter (16) spoke as well as he
