I would like to thank my parents: God and Ayn Rand.

Consistency in grammar is important in a d20 product - inconsistent use is an indication of poor editing, which reflects poorly (although perhaps unjustifiably) on the content. Although I think spelling is more important in this regard.

)
English has an advantage over Chinese in that it has an alphabet rather than a pictorial language that requires rote memorisation of the meaning (I could never stand my Chinese classes - brrr!). Although isn't there an alphabetic version of Mandarin now? Using English letters?
