[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8529089, member: 7032025"] Do you have any for yours ? No, YOU are the one making the assertion that a majority of english speakers think like you. Proof ? As for myself, I speak about words, and dictionaries actually support me. Actually they do, they show that D&D has to remain an american product and that the actual majority of people playing the game over the world - which, too bad, are NOT american despite what you might think - are playing it wrong if they do not acknowledge the original influence. Which is even more absurd, since the root of the game is medieval Europe, its myth and magic. Most of the rest of inspiration, actually is everything BUT american. So who is unrealistic now ? No, actually, I happened to have lived overseas for the largest part of my career, speaking english most of the time. So I actually do think that I have a way better view of the way it is used over the world (and in particular in the context of roleplaying games) than you. By the way, as usual, you language to other posters is EXTREMELY INSULTING, using words like "ignorant" and "silly". Please stop. You are not pointing out anything, you are making unsustained claims, without the slightest factual support, and being extremely insulting in your words. Stop it. Your words are not inclusive, and are extremely insulting, on top of the fact that you absolutely want to push a specific world view on others. This is not inclusive, it's contrary to the spirit and rules of these forums, and is simply unacceptable. You are confusing "native english speaker" with "biased american" here. Again, despite what you think, most english speakers over the planet, are not americans. Even the native ones. Document yourself. I have lived in the UK, in Australia, in South Africa and in Singapore, where people there are all native english speakers. But maybe they don't count in your view ? [/QUOTE]
