Spelling mistake in Board index

Post by mongoose7 »

"Game Assets" has
Can contain advertisment from websites selling that stuff.
But advertisement has three E's and we usually use the plural: Can contain advertisements from websites selling those items.

It can't be easy. I know that German and English have different rules regarding articles. And advertisement is pronounced advertissment, so that doesn't help.

Also, I missed a trick. The "can" should be "may" to indicate permission - "can" only indicates possibility.

The "can" is to tell forum users about it, so they don't report "spam" every time there is some advertisement going on. Using "may" would also have been fine.
