I also objected to JamboP26 "correcting" the American-style spelling "rumor" to the British-style spelling "rumour" when there was no obvious need for such a change, but I'm American  , and that's a minor point. |
I was in two minds about changing the American spelling, but its up to Yuri what one she uses. As for the other points, thanks for correcting
