I know that many people have english as their second/third(or whatever) language and that their spelling might be incorrect, but this one thing i noticed by the ideas and suggestion- new faction idea topics.
People tend to say ''fractions'' instead of faction.
Here's the diffirence:
A Faction is like a species, or a group ( in this game: elves, knights, demons, etc.)
A fraction however is a small part or item forming a piece of a whole. Like in maths, divide 1 cake for 5 people, so each person gets a fraction ( 1/5 ) of the cake. |
| I notice this too, and it gets on my nerves. My nerves are so weighed down with this getting on them, that they reach the floor. Seriously. |
| explanation: in the russian language the word is "fractzia" (not "factzia"). it's easy for russian-speaking players to make this mistake ;} |
who types fraction? i read fracion most time lol
And stop assuming its 1/5 !!! |
Georgia: that at least sheds some light on it, but then there's ppl like drakelord who even after being told continue to use the same word - even defending it.
xtitan77: as for the definition of 'faction' it doesn't have to be limited to a race, it could be a segregated number of any populous - i.e. a group of rioters could be a faction due to their beliefs to be separate from from the whole. but yes, this gets under my skin as well |
forget about ESL players doing dumb spelling mistakes. I'm annoyed by the English only players doing them. Typos are understandable, but this amount just makes reading extremely hard.
I think a simple built-in spell check would help a lot. |
| On ru sever word faction is "frakciya" (translite - russian word by english letters.) So almost all russians tipe it as they know it from .ru |
for MoonVampire:
umm... this is very interesting.
about drakelord... this is a pure trolling. thought you already reconized it :} |
| (*) the above post needs one "g". yep, Pantheon is right. we need a spell check. |
| i don't know english. absolutely. |
