@idea from James
@idea Seeing as it's not just Americans that play SD I thought that it would be good if the commands had different aliases, such as allowing 'memorise' to be used as well as 'memorize'. I had trouble with that at first when I was a newbie, and changing it would make interfacing with SD smoother for us Brits and others.
If you can think of any other commands that could benefit from the same, you could mention them here. :)

In most cases, I have no issues with adding additional aliases for commands. Let the ideas flow please.

i'd suggest 'colour'… but only because i'm prissy. ;)
though.. i don't think that's an alias/command or anything important inMOO so i'll just hush now.
WAIT no! ha! @ansicolors! *dances with a :sewerrat:*

Yet GXO desided to use color instead, to stadardise the spelling and because aparantly that is what's used by the 'proffesional graphic design industry'.
Yeah right ;)

On the related note of spelling, I have a problem with 'putrifying corpse
' existing.
Surely it is spelt 'putrefying',
which means: 'To become decayed and have a foul odor.' or 'To become gangrenous.' according to dictionary.com. (Ironically odour is spelt wrong ;))
Maybe it's spelt differently in america, but does dictionary.com not use or at least include american spelling?I just thought that I'd let you know… :)

Dictionary.com shows the spelling from both sides of the ocean in most cases. Looks like we had this one wrong.
Use @typo next time please! :biggrin:

Feel free to delete this post if I should provide the information using @typo, but I am unsure of one of the thoughts, so being able to get a response would be cool.
Firstly the @look_places� of the tourist NPCs lacks an 'is' or 'are' in my view, with it being something similar to: '<name/s> is trying to fit in here, and failing miserably'. Maybe I'm just being pedantic, or the 'informal' grammar doesn't bother others, but I think that it looks ugly.
The following is what I was unsure about.
Mag-levs are magentic-levitation shuttles right? And if so, surely the idea is a modern monorail, in which case the message '…the rails sit empty' should be 'rail sits empty' in my view.

Yikes, good point, well on the same track point anyway. However direction wouldn't matter, not even today…
No need to get all rude though ;)

It's late, so maybe I shouldn't be posting. But actually, multipile directions, and several shuttles on the same track could still work, and the levs have only been in the stations at the same time when the change was being a bit buggy….
Split tracks you know, it's been done for a while :)
Even if mutlipile individual tracks were used, using a single track in the station would still make sense (split tracks), would make economic sense, and how do you suppose that you're going to get to the shuttle on the other track from the same side?
*cough*
I sound like a train spotter now :)
