Warhammer 40k Help...

Yep. You have to keep in mind that GW's humble beginnings hail from the UK as opposed to US. They branched out to the states simply because thats where the money is (arguably). When you see things like Armour and such, you simply see examples of old (correct) english.

I have a hard time with that... it comes and goes sometimes i type armour and sometimes (usually reference American items) i use armor...

English being my second language, I had a hard time myself understanding the difference between the written dialects.

Perhaps still have problems with it...

hey no worries mata...
most ESL people i know speak english better than those who hold Masters degrees...

By misspellings, I don't count extra U's, in fact, Sometimes I spell things with U's.
no I just see misspellings and capitalization errors. Sometimes I feel like a grammar nazi...

Ah errant capitalisation, a plague on humanity, and one I'm guilty of myself far too often.

The page has recently been updated drastically because of the upcoming "Warhammer Fantasy" releases, so it's more than possible mistakes have slipped through the cracks. GW being who they are, they may refuse to change said problems for some time.

Sapper speaks the truth. Heck, your posts are often far better than mine grammatically and contextually.
Might look into the reasons behind that one day (My own bone-idleness aside)

english is the greatest language in the world, both written and spoken, simply because its highly adaptive.
this is also the cause of why it is difficult for others to learn it.

also i have a problem with our american cousins, trying to change it, such as dropping u's, in order to call it their own, thats right i have heard people say they speak american,
americans have invented a great deal in their short time as a country, and for that they should feel great pride, but you just cant have everything.

(and no castle's either their ours)

I don't have much difficulty learning English vocabs but learning English grammar always give me headaches especially on verb agreement.

In my opinion German & Latin language are the greatest.

German language strongly reminds me of the Third Reich.

Latin is the most enigmatic language in the world, without it W40k will never exist.

[Jwlynas]

Without latin as a base most languages wouldn't exist as we know them now. Certainly not English, which has a few rules left over from latin that make little sense any longer (I believe ending sentences with propositions was impossible in Latin, but merely frowned upon in English... Weird)
