Idea 1:

Guapovia's currency is the denarius. However, following Roman tradition, the plural is denarii. Nationstates keeps typing "denariuss". Can we have a box where you can put in the plural of the cash?

Idea 2: The Old Realm of Lyhee wants a box where you can specify the plural of your people. eg Britain has Brits or British, France has French, etcetera.

Cheers,

The people of Wolfsreich second this motion, for although our plural will remain "marks", it is a little jarring to see plurals that don't fit the root words while surfing around other nations.

The same is true for animals:
Fishs
Gooses
Oxs
etc.

But I don't think this is a very big deal. If it's a simple fix, go for it. If it's a bunch of reprogramming, forget it.

It would mean all the issues have to be altered, as well as all the other coding to do with the nation description.

Keeping in mind that [violet] is busy with a lot of other stuff (like just keeping this place running :wink: ), I would like to say that I agree with my fellow Ambrosiaites on this matter.

Thank you, Cogitation!

Perhaps we could have the issue editors put this in (if it happens) on an as-needed basis. I can't imagine too many issues use the MONEY tag, or do they?

(Not all issues have to do with economics, is where I'm coming from.)
