second, i fail to see where it is an insult to call someone a native when referring to those "racial" or cultural distinction. you're the one being racist by saying it is an insult.

edit: i might add you should go to http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/possessives.htm to see that it's an effect of style not to add the 's after proper nouns ending in s or z, but that the most official rules of grammar you can find state it must be there.

I have already apologised to Popol, who never indicated he had taken offence anyway.
Despite this you continue to be a complete hypocrite and critisise my gammar on a debateable point, even though I said your correction may be right.
Unlike yourself I have actually made a relevant post to this discussion. Now you're calling me a racist, just because I remarked that what you typed "you're a native" when taken as insult is a racist remark.
I'll just like to point out again, when I realise I might have caused offence, I apologise, I don't continue on like I'm on some crusade. Being mature isn't speaking 3 languages fluently like you suggest, but admiting that you may not be completely right, and leaving things. To keep this going would indicate a lack of that maturity.

oh - and you play board games with little metal figures therefor you can't be mature

lets forget this happened

BTW the others DG in my league vote to put me 6 (not 5) in my team rating... just because I finish first (11-0-1) in the season and my opponent will have a Handicap roll in the series, because of that...

Please if I had made a other error, don't get 3 pages just for that.

No wonder they put your TR to 6; anything to give them a better chance of winning! As for you spelling....

That should be "an other error".

Just remember that BB leagues should be run with an iron fist and not by democracy, that way you can achieve the correct interpretation and not the most popular one.
