Great point Void,
This is a segment of your post which refers to the second part of my post ("imperialism and the colonial besieging")


have a read of the following:

By the time the British left India in 1947 they had given the subcontinent a number of priceless assets, including the English language, but also a structure of good government, local organisation and logistical infrastructure that still holds good today. Far from damaging India, British imperial rule gave it a head start. At the centre of this was the Indian Civil Service, the 1,000 strong "heaven-born" group of administrators that ran the country. Their role in laying the foundations for strong, efficient government in India has never been accorded the respect and admiration it deserves.

While history has recorded that the ICS were aloof and disdainful of the "natives", in reality, the men who ran India were selfless, efficient and - most importantly of all - completely incorruptible.  Not only did they oversee the spread of good government, western education, modern medicine and the rule of law, they also put in place local works, famine relief, and irrigation projects, most notably in the Punjab, which benefited enormously from what was then the largest irrigation project in the world.

Perhaps the most priceless asset of all was the English language itself, which gave a unity to the subcontinent that it had never known before and which is allowing India's people to do business around the world today with great success. Indeed, it is indicative of this that in February 2011, a Dalit (formerly untouchable) community in Uttar Pradesh built a shrine to the goddess English, which they believe will help them learn the English language and climb out of their grinding poverty.

Although Britain was not able to replicate its success in India everywhere across its vast colonial empire, it is still clear the empire gave its colonies real, tangible benefits. Wherever the British ruled, they erected a light, relatively inexpensive form of government that was not corrupt, was stable, and was favourable to outside investors. Its imperial civil servants may not always have been completely sympathetic to local peoples, but they were always motivated by humanitarian impulses and did their best in often difficult circumstances. Indeed, when we look at Africa, many of the benefits of imperial rule were squandered in the generations after independence with a succession of corrupt and brutal regimes.
This is a segment of your post which refers to my "Blame" part of the post, isn't it?  :D

Jokes aside, but what you've written is true. Now, this is not the topic to discuss about this subject so I apologize for starting it. There is a lot more to add about the subject of the Britain's "Biggest jewel in the Crown".

I'm using Chrome. If you start to write on Dutch (Swedish for me), you can right click on the word that got a red line underneath itself, and choose the language you want.

In Argonath forums, I do not believe a spelling check would be necessary. It already causes enough trouble IRL, why bring it here?

The most important part is interacting with others and meeting people from around the world.

I liked your reaction on Gandalf's joke...

You found paradise in Argonath. You had a good game, you made good friends. The admins protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Aragorn, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect.

I presume then, Daco, that you are not a user of Apple products?

Personally I am not a user of Apple products, although I've known some poor souls who had tons of trouble with Apple's auto-correction software on their devices (such as the iTouch) before they learned to disable it.

That's the part where iPhone and iTouch turned into iFail  :D

Anyway, about grammar correction, basicly I never use them even tough I got one installed on Firefox, but to me it's better to learn from my own mistakes and improve it myself instead of letting a machine tell me how to type a specific word.
Argonath has too many people that expect a formal usage of the english language. Even if it is not their usual writing style, they'll try it do make them look more mature. Understandable, but Argonath consists out of many ages, we should respect all styles and forms, aslong the member follows the rules.

I rather have more respect for someone trying to communicate english on Argonath than someone with English as mother language breaking down others.

Yes, its irritating. Happens to me all the times. Tho, I get spelling corrections for Dutch, Russian and Italian.
When I write an English word wrong, it corrects to a word from the above mentioned language.
