Because a lot of the programs on this site were written by people whose native language is not English, there is a lot of incorrect grammar floating about. Going through the language files line by line to find it is tedious, so if people could let me know here whenever they come across a message written in poor grammar, I would really appreciate it. Just leave a copy of the message, as well as where you came across it, and I'll fix it.

Yay! I found something:

your Birthday are required on this site

when trying to fool the Profile thingy. Speaking of (though I should probably post this in the much more topic-appropriate 'Missing Features'), is there any way to hide your birthday? We used to be able to do that, I think.

Aha! I know smaur's age. I feel so ... powerful.

Anyway, I haven't noticed anything yet, but I keep checking.

Awww ... we're getting rid of stuff like that? I thought they were funny!

Well, I haven't noticed anything in the new YWS yet. My personal favourite in the old one was the "You have been loged on, Please wait to return to the index" or something. It had the incorrect spelling of "logged" and the capital in "please", deffinately. It made me laugh everytime I logged on.

Unfortunately, the program I'm using for birthdays is a very simple program and does not allow for that. That being said, it's really something that's not hard at all to set up.

Good to know. :)

It should be "Join a Usergroup." Notice the small "a."


...that's been bugging me for a while. XD
