Re: Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...
Jawohl! Ich verstehn...
I bet I mispelled something.
Some of us with English as first language do worse.

Re: Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...
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!

Re: Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...
You do awesome for English not being your native tongue, Mephisto!

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).

Re: Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...
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.

Re: Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...
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....

Re: Mephisto! Tiny bug in your mod...
...But, as a comment to Mephisto's grasp of the English language....I wish my Son (18)& Daughter (16) spoke as well as he
