    I would say RPer's in the realm of acting are lower than clowns/mimes.
    You can't get nitpicky over the spelling of theater. Both are used, even within the U.S.

    It's like canceling with one L versus cancellation with the two Ls.

    Anyhew, I get the feeling more you want to provoke people into action for kicks and giggles more than you want to genuinely understand and come to an amicable resolution about this.

    Also its nothing like canceling and cancellation as they are two different words.

    I think you mean canceling vs cancelling and again unless you are british and using british english( and to point out being british and wanting to be british are different things) it is spelled with 1 L

    There is no difference in meaning between theater and theatre. Neither has any special definitions. Theater is the """preferred""" spelling in American English, and theatre is preferred virtually everywhere else.

    Preferred: Like (one thing or person) better than another or others; tend to choose: "I prefer Venice to Rome".

    Kind sir, I would like to point you in the direction of post number 63

    You gentle clod,

    I'd prefer if you'd use the preferred version for your region.

    Good Day!

    SONICCCC BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
    Here's where I was going with canceling and cancellation. I have never read a "cancelation policy" in the U.S. It has always been cancellation with TWO L's. Why is this supposed British spelling being used in all these documents for cancellation. Yet, canceled and canceling is a single L in American English with acceptable British spellings of cancelled and cancelling?

    And theatre is an acceptable spelling even in the U.S. You can thank AMC Theatres (American Multi-Cinema) for spreading the U.S. spelling for nearly one hundred years.

    We've gotten way off-topic here...

    On-topic: Your opinion of the motives and history of RP'ers has been noted. I disagree, but noted.

    Off-Topic: Good touch to the Boom. Also if you look at the grammarist website lower on the link there is a graph that shows the spelling of theater in published books. I would take a measured graph of published books by people who write for a living over AMC Theatres who show movies. Also my graph shows more years :P

    On-topic: It is noted that you noted my opinion. I disagree with yours but it is noted that you noted my correct opinion.

    If they denote New World X as RP server (in the same manner they denoted 10 as FR/DE), then RPers and haters alike have the information prior to phase 1 on what to choose/not choose. Regardless of whether or not you choose some one to avoid _____ or not, some players will be allocated by SE automatically after everyone's choices are made, and locked in phase 2. What this means, is that it will not be a barren server or more populated then any other server, #10 included, because SE is doing the merge to balance the population of all the servers.

    Part of the distribution of players is out of our hands. If for example, 9 becomes RP and 10 becomes FR/DE, and there is a huge lack of active accounts being filtered there by them(SE), they would be at the same crossroad they were at when they decided it was necessary for a merge.


    PS:



    (See what I did there?)
    I do and you sir win a cookie for noticing my hidden troll of RPer's. Do you think I would RP correctly while flaming it? You seem smarter than that.
