Is it just me or is the English in the ISN news flashes deteriorating with each passing day? I know it's a minor portion of the menu but the laxity toward proper language is troubling. I see the errors in the press releases, patch notes, the aforementioned ISN flashes and pretty much everywhere. C'mon PGI, you have millions of our dollars, hire a copy editor. At the very least re-read what you've written.

I suppose we can lump Spellcheck in with rear view mirrors, MGs and reclining seats, all under the Lostech umbrella.

Don't forget toasters. We don't know whether or not all toasters toasted toast.

Nah. If toasters were Lostech, why would we have all of these poptarts?

[Zerbob]

I thought for toast they held up giant walls of bread to a Firestarter and used the flamers and then cut it into small pieces?

You're telling me we could toast our bread in a small metal box that could easily fit on a counter?!

They are simulating a Bladerunneresque future of multicultural slanglish.

I'd be happy if they would just set up a program to post on weekends and holidays and days they just didn't feel like posting. And maybe also if they didn't post the same news two days in a row.

You obviously don't watch the 'real' news do you?

[Sadistic Savior]

You Brits need to get over it. There is no "U" in "Armor" or "Honor".

Even you people do not pronounce it "Armoooor". Stop it.

I like it... it gives it a Ye olde Tyme feel. It gives a nice counterbalance to LOL, OMMFG, L2P
