The Grammatical Grievances of Diversity

Postby Kchielsovo » Fri Mar 28, 2014 10:08 am

Well, I was hopping along my region's Chatzy when a fellow member made note of how, on one's nation overview, defense is spelled with a 'c' (she's an American). Well, I went over to the government and analysis sections. And, there, it's spelled with an 's.' I just thought I'd point that little funny thing out.

Also, I've written up an issue proposal for this. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=289347, thoughts?

The site uses varying spelling and word-choices of English, like for instance American English, British English (aka "English"), and Australian English. Sometimes a more local slang term may be used as well, if for instance a dilemma choice calls for it.

When are we introducing Dunglish (Dutch English), my fellow Dutch staff member? :)

As soon as an admin grabs the cow by the horns. ;)
