Very good; have you figured out which one you are yet? I'll give you a hint: both. Drive through...

Which words did I incorrectly capitalize? "English" is a name of a language (among other things); hence why it's capitalized.

Hardly; you better go look up the word "efficient", sport. You're getting desperate for arguments.

Uh, it's a compound word, idiot. Back to Grammar 101 with you.

And how was I wrong in asking about it, hmm? No wrongness there, Bowen. More of your lameness...

Well how am I to know since I don't program (hence, I don't use the SDK) and given AW programmer track record it wouldn't be beyond them to make such an error. Credit is EARNED, not given mindlessly away.

I never claimed I was an expert at games; and I hardly play them all the time--in fact, I don't like many computer/video games. <shrug>

Just keeping you own your toes, sport. Take your own advice and don't reply to this message, hypocrite.
