Proposal: ghost`s fix

Timed out 10 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 21 Feb 2010 02:48:47 UTC

In the subrule “Calling the Police” (of Rule 2.11 “The Reading of the Will”), if it exists, replace “a Guest who is in the Parlor and who has never been a Murderer may telephone Scotland Yard” with:-

a non-Dormant Guest who is in the Parlor and who has never been a Murderer may telephone Scotland Yard

Reproposal per DarthCliche: name the Rule correctly.

for  Though, Keba, here’s a tip on English punctuation:

Five nerd points to anyone who can guess exactly what that image is, before clicking the link.

Also, note that the titular character’s anger is purely for humor, and not meant to be taken seriously. Unless you’re a native English speaker, of course (I give constructive criticism non-natives when they get something wrong, but I natives who get something wrong in front of me have 48 hours to live).

Ack, I meant that to be a link.

Also, before anyone else points it out and accuses me of hypocrisy: in the last paragraph, there was a typo (”[...] wrong, but I natives [...]” should have been “[...] wrong, but natives [...]”). As it was a typo, and not a genuine mistake which I thought was correct, I am not being a hypocrite.

Darth Cliche: Youre glad I am not a murderer ;)

I am sorry for not using the correct char »’«, but there is no »’« in my keyboard layout (german-eliminate-dead-keys), as far as I know. There are only »´« and »`«. Yep, I could use the other one….

But generally, »ghost’s fix« is right. It’s meant as “fix of the ghost”. I do not know whether the of-genetive would be fine here (is a ghost a person? But that’s not the topic). I did not want to write “ghosts fix”.

Decide yourself, whether this makes sense. The subject is meant as a reference to Kevans Proposal »Cayvie’s Ghost«.

Additionally, the primary language of Germany is German, not English. So I’m not a native speaker. ;)

Kind regards, Keba.

PS: Also I have hidden a mistake of wrong spelling in this comment ;)

@Keba: Ah, I had assumed you had meant “Ghosts’ Fix”, meaning “Fix of the Ghosts”; the of-genitive, by the way, is used everywhere, even for non-people. I hadn’t even noticed the ` and had assumed it to be a regular apostrophe.

My guess as to the mistake is “Kevans Proposal”.

Ah, ok :)

Well, that’s definitly wrong. But isn’t it a mistake of grammer? :P
