* What could be more fun then more Fun Images?

Argh!!!!!!! They are supposed to be setting the example for children and then they mess up a homonym?

[Huggles]

Is there any particular reason why TNT hasn't made yooyus available in snow, mutant, fire, and faerie? Any at all? I was expecting to see them today.

[Pink]

Somehow I have the sneaky feeling that there is going to be another Altador Cup before we have another plot

This is a games site, not a school - I don't really see TNT setting any examples.

I don't see the problem in the sentence.

*Looks for this food sale ...

I don't see the problem in the sentence.

Should be "than" and not "then." Sometimes I wish they hired general proofreaders for the site...I'd apply lol.

I really liked the news today though, except for the lack of Yooyoo colors.

AH!!! So it should be. I was too wrapped up in finding the problem homonym to notice that.

Happens to the best of us.
I do the same thing when editing my papers, then find the error write before I hand it in. D'oh!

Would that be right before you hand the paper in.

I know what you mean. I often hit the Enter key before proof-reading.

I don't understand the confusion of than and then.

Than is used in a comparative statement: I would rather go shopping than do housework.

Then is used as a marker of time: I went shopping then I did the housework.

Having said all that, I still did miss the mistake until you pointed it out.

Good example, haha. Bear with me, its almost 2am here. But no, I did that on purpose...*shifty eyes* Happens when I think about writing when writing lol.

I guess considering all the stuff TNT has to churn out, they have relatively few errors. Can't speak for the other languages though.

[BrunosisShale]

Does anyone know exactly what the Yooyu in the caption contest picture is holding? I'm not exactly sure if they're supposed to be Altadorian gold ingots or fruits.

[Pink]

They look like bags of neopoints; the ones you get from the Altador Daily sometimes.

[Erin]

They're items in the new game.
