is it just me, or is there a real discrepancy between your subject line and your message content?

Shh!
I was hoping that no-one would notice that.

you should know better.
a common trick is to make the subject line somewhat less explicit.
"Plz help" comes to mind.
"About something" wouldn't cause discrepancies either, well, most of the time.
You get the picture.

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

I posted a reply to a question a few moments ago, and the formatting seems to be consistently different from how I entered it. My reply is here, and I intended it to be laid out as a numerical list - editing the answer shows this (sort of.) At the moment though, every <li> tag is being wrapped in a <ul> tag, which messes up the indentation and turns it from an ordered list into an unordered list. I've used the third option, which tells it to interpret the HTML; this hasn't made a difference.

This has been marked as a bug. We'll get to it ASAP.

maybe a repost, I didn't find it in the bug list:
in T&T section, on an individual T&T page, the statistics block mentions a number of answers, should be alternates.

Did you mean 'alternatives'? Doesn't 'alternates' mean every second one?

I would use alternative, however alternate is already in use on that page (the button says Add Alternate), the counter however says Answers, which must be a left-over from Q&A.

Ah, I was pretty sure that your excellent command of English would, normally, have prevented you from such a faux pas.

I try not to make too many language mistakes; the Windows spell checker (which is of Amglish inclination) is helping a lot, as are Webster Online, Google Translate, and Google in general. I'm sure I make many mistakes without even being aware of them, and I'm glad every time I'm corrected, or taught something new. As in every other language, the correct choice of prepositions often is a difficult problem, as is the use of singular vs. plural sometimes.

In all the conversatins I've had with you Luc I've never noticed an error in your English. You have corrected mine a couple of times though

Well thank you, and sorry about that; I can't help myself, I don't want to appear pedantic, however when I see something wrong, I tend to say so (on language matters, I tend to double check first). I'm sure I make lots of mistakes myself, and I find myself making detours quite often to avoid linguistic problem areas.

Yep we're aware of this one. Should be a quick fix so I'll bump this up in priority.
|
|
|
|
|
wouldn't it be simpler changing one word in the code, rather than editing the TODO list?
|
|
|
|

Well it would be easier for me. But we already have that bug entry and it shows there are a few places where this needs to be corrected.
