I didn't comment your answer, just your blipping at his skills in
English.

Someone asked where the spelling differences came from. In school, I was
taught that when Noah Webster was writing his first American Dictionary (or is
it dictionEry? At this point, I don't care -- get over it.), he decided that
some words contained unnecessary, silent vowels. As this was a new, different
country, the language should reflect that, so he dropped them.
As was also pointed out, this IS an international medium, and although
conducted in English, it is not everyone's first language. Allowances must be
made for non-standard spelling and grammer. Take a lesson from those who use
sign language for communication with the deaf. Getting the idea across is the
important thing, not the precise word order.
That said, the fact remains that the original post, spelling and/or grammatical
errors aside, was pretty much unintelligible rambling.
It's a good thing The Pits isn't turning into another Microsoft. Granted,
every computer would come with racing sims built in, but we would only be able
to run THOSE sims, and you would crash in the first turn, every race.
But, nobody would care, because that's just how things would be.

Subject: EU Standard English
Forget about Americnic, Ebonic, Clintonic
The European Commission has announced an agreement
whereby English will be the official language of the EU,
rather than German, which was the other contender. Her
Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had
room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year
phasing in of "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this
will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be
dropped in favour of the "k", which should klear up some
konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year,
when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f", making
words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan
be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated
changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the
removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent
to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of
the silent "e" is disgrasful.
By the fourth yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to
ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli
sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and
everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer.
ZE DREM VIL FINALI KOM TRU !
I have a feeling Jan has some German ancestry, Kohl, hm, sounds German
doesn`t it
So the original poster IS right, but "The Pits" goes even further, they
are taking over the language as well

I have been testing things of this nature recently reguarding the N2 conversions for
ICR2. There are a couple of problems with this product that I found surprising in light of
the fact that it was a $15 product and the problems are fairly easy to fix, especially in
comparison to the overall project itself. They are ;
1/ Tyre overheating - simply plug in the THEAT line into the track.txt from a similar
N1 converted track or whatever and bingo!
2/ Slow pit speeds. Dover is at 37 mph which means using the alt-b as a rev limiter is
undesirable. This was easy to fix though. The N1 pit.lp file works perfectly. At other
tracks where there is no N1 counterpart, it would be a matter of using LPEdit 4.3 to fix
it. This looks to be a little time consuming (though I'm new to this so maybe it's easier
than I currently think), but compared to the overall project of the N2>ICR2 converter I
find it hard to understand why it was not done. Especially since ICR2's life is just about
to expire so even an update is getting too late, if not already.
I realise the N2 converter is not relevant to you but I thought I'd throw it in for
interest and it seems inline with this thread. Not that I agree with the original posters
whining of course - especially about a free product.
