Happy Birthday, Guynemer and Rasbelin!

This is not fair. I posted a thread before, congratulating Rasbelin for his *first* anniversary...

Therein lies the problem. In English, "anniversary" usually refers to someone's wedding anniversary. You should have said "birthday," like a normal English-speaker.

Hm, but I thought that "first birthday" would look strange... I did not like this form. So I made an option for the wrong one.

You should have used "first jubilee", Alex.

That's like painting a target on your forehead and asking people not to kick you in the head.

I thought that was standard procedure when someone pointed out grammatical errors.


Very well Boris, you are the gramma r nazi.
