I'm saying they absolutely found those bugs, and absolutely reported them, but they can't fix them, and the people who could fix them decided not to.the links you gave don't set anything in stone, which is why I felt like making fun of them. a single open alpha release doesn't really mean anything.anyway I should stop, I'm sure I had at least one person ignore me at this point. I made my case, and if you're not willing to accept the idea that I might know at least a little more about this language thing than you then that's your problem.btw I did major in linguistics, saying you took Korean in college as a comparison is a bit quaint (also, I also took a quarter of Korean in college and lived around Korean speakers most of my young life so ¯\_____(ツ)_____/¯ )</blockquote>
