    I got my wars mixed up. My apologies. I just realized it. Though one of my grandsires was part of George Washington's bodyguard during the revolutionary war. Please apply the remark in the previous post to the Civil War.

    Btw, Japes, what's the name of your village in Travian? I created a village in the Northwest quadrant on server 1. I'm Roman. The name is, well, SilvioArjunza's Village. I'm at 193x-169. Or something close to that.

    It's Antioch, and I'm using a different handle: Kong Lung. There's an inside story behind it that doesn't really bear telling, if you're wondering. I'll look you up later, but I have to go fly right now.

    Is it possible, that you are using a self-correcting program for your spelling/grammar?

    Yes. As I have said several times. What is your point?

    He uses Grammar Nazi, TA edition:

    I like to use it for my grammar
    I WOULD like to use it for my grammar

    The original, what you wrote, implies that you already do use it, and that you like it. The word would changes the tense of the sentence to future so that it says that you would like to try the program to improve your grammar.

    Well, lets clarify.
    I am not using a program helping me with my grammar.
    It helps me with spelling and typos.

    I am using Safari.

    I recently learned that there's an important difference between peeing in the pool, and peeing into the pool.

    Hey Japes, did you quit playing Travian? I tried to fire a message off to you, and it said your name didn't exist. :\

    My friend asked me to assume control of a different account, so I deleted mine.
