Firstly, I know. I understand that errors, especially grammatical errors (like this one) are frequent, very frequent in Gaia. If I were to show this to a fifth grader, I'm pretty sure that he would immediately notice that faulty grammar.

Now, back to the subject; the grammar error. If you haven't noticed it yet, go back in third grade English. It is the part, namely '10 forum post'. One would obviously notice that 'ten' makes the subject plural. Subject being 'post', it would have to be accorded to that number. Plural.

Good catch, but you don't need to patronize them like that.

It looks like there was some kind of transcription error when the achievement requirements changed after beta, when it originally said "a forum post." Unfortunately, nobody who works here ever completed third grade, so we have no idea how to fix this. Sorry!

Sort of. I dictated it to my secretary, since I never learned to read or write.

Also, good job today. Shop update, achievement update, cosplay contest, and a cash shop update.

Unknown to CC, we made sure his secretary didn't speak English. It controls the damage.

..I love how this thread started as an annoying complaint and turned awesome with developers joking with one another.

I think the devs themselves stirred this thread off-topic themselves! rofl

Anyways, developers, please go back in subject, or else your posts are spam! xD
You guys can't imagine how hard my laughter is in this moment!

Anyways, um. Since there was only one post with actual content, I can't actually respond...
