The slight gramatical error in that survey tells me that it did NOT come direct from Microsoft Wink

Not to start a flame war here, but my grandmother could make a nicer looking webpage than that. This page looks like it was made by a 13 year old with to much free time.

Aha Pete... I missed that illegal use of the SimV logo because I got the Microsoft IE "secure and insecure" warning and opted to NOT display the "insecure" page content. That must have been a linked SimV image.

So...... what are you going to DO with that $10,000 infringement fine? Grin

Bet you could upgrade the servers.

"3) Which are Your Favourite Default Aircrafts?"

The word "aircraft" acts as both the singular and the plural. "Aircrafts", in this context, is incorrect usage.

Not to mention the incorrect useage of randomly scattered caiptal letters throughout.

The "13 year old" comment might be accurate...... and I bet the English grades in school are not so good. Wink

Also note the very scientific terms used. Grin

"very realistic " "a little realistic," etc.

Apparently, it's closed now too.

Great... so this topic is now officially "dead" since the site is now gone.

It was a "speedbump" in the road of SimV. Let's move on to other things.

Sounds like it was "gone" .....apparently for a short while..... because someone who was reading these postings was editing it at the time wwatkins and I checked. Grin

Is the SimV logo gone too when you go there?

Guys,

I think before some of you start having a go at someone else's English, you may want to check your own grasp of the subject. The survey wasn't set up by a thirteen year old - it was set up by a twenty one year old SimV member. If you had read the first post correctly & done a little homework, like checking mohawk's profile then you would've seen this.

Naming no names, well done for bullying a fellow SimV member just because he made a slight gramatical error.

I'm sure he'll chuffed to bits when he comes back to read your replies.

..mm...but TLC, the original post didn't have the "this is a survey I am running " ...message did it ...that was added later if I am not mistaken eh?..Had that been the case then maybe the replies would have been more sympathetic............commoner Wink

Ah - well that would've helped admittedly Grin

In which case then I'll retract my rant & apologise because it wasn't clear that the survey was written by one of us.

The post was edited before I got home from work, so I didn't see the original. [grumble]Having had to work until 6[/grumble].
