Correcting them. That said it's hard to tell if they did it on purpose or to be ironic or just didn't know any better, considering how there is an entire unit of Kurita guys that run around the board talking in "Engrish".

All you have to know but if you want to correct them keep it up.

Like I said in my opening post on the subject "Looses" might work considering the pounding Kurita takes on a nightly basis.

Your head.

Gah... might as well spell it out. Looses is not the plural of Loss. Loose and Loss/lose are not the same thing. Losses is the plural of Loss.

Loss -- As in the opposite of a Win.
Loose -- As in not tight.

Thanks for the lesson in english. Im out of the school since 23 years and had only a grade D in english.

Is it not preferable to be among he best houses in terms of pilot quality over grammar? I could correct your posts as if I were a middle school English teacher (my sister is and I've heard enough of that crap), but it's not worth the effort. Seriously, I barely passed French and wouldn't be able to post anything in another language without the help of Google translator. The next thing you see typed from him will be "gg" and that needs no translation.

Honestly he seemed fine with being corrected. I've actually found that most people who speak English as a second language are pretty ok with somebody letting them know when they make a mistake. That said I chuckled because the language error was a funny one and still sort of worked, but probably wasn't the intent.

Yeaaaaaa....the 36th are a EU unit....maybe cut the guy some slack for it being a second language. lol

sorry if my ww2 analogy was missunderstood.
my intend was to demonstrate that even if a faction lose a war it still dont need to be weak, not even remotly.
it has nothing to do with me beeing german, could have taken japan or half a dozend other examples.
was simply a reaction on the provoking title of the op.
