Right now the release notes screen has 2 choices, each with a Go button: S Shortcut - Select Previous Crossing Zone - or - 1 Release Country Would it work to add a third choice (with another Go button) until the…
Activists, Enthusiasts, Hobbyists and Wannabees » When You Wing Someone Post Here Part Three » Bartleby weighs in on "strong conjugation". I'm voting for wung.
rebeccalyr 18 yrs ago
Since the use of wing as a verb is fairly recent, an argument could be made for the weak conjugation of 'winged'. Evidently English verbs are evolving (devolving?) from strong to weak conjugations. But 'wung' has a muc…

rebeccalyr 18 yrs ago
I think there's a boring preface before we're introduced to the protagonist but after the preface I was hooked. But if you aren't hooked after page 100 then it might not be your kind of book :-)

rebeccalyr 18 yrs ago | 2 replies
The creation of wings as a commodity in and of itself is a good idea. I like that I get something for my 'donation' to BC. I like that I can make someone else happy by winging them out of the blue. I don't think I'd b…
