Maybe a sentence beggining with "please" and finishing with "Thanks" would help a lot :roll:

Yeah, and also please avoid caps and multiple question marks.

"Et facta est lux" is Latin for "and there was light"
(among the first verses of the Bible - "Let there be light: and there was light")

Er... Latinus, by the way, the s at the end of mean was not necessary ;) :hello:

Sure, but moderating a forum doesn't mean correcting mistakes :lol: When I find a mistake in a translator's profile, for instance, I always leave it. I think it gives some kind of information... ;)

I understand, I did't expect you to correct all the mistakes in the forum (and I still don't), but as you changed the sentence, it was not much work to put out the s at the same time :) Anyway, it's not that important :roll:

I understand, but this is not "my" sentence ;)
I worry only about the aspect (harmony?) of the whole of the forum. The spelling mistakes belong to the author of the sentence, unfortunately for him. :c-com-ca:

Ha yes, I had not even seen it, the mistake. :lol: :shy:
