Not sure where to post this. It's not a bug, just a grammar issue that is one of my peeves

When the Oracle gives you a card, next to the "Get the card" button it says "This card is now your!", which should instead say "This card is now yours!"
Yeah, not a big deal I know, but like I said grammar is a pet peeve of mine, and it makes me cringe whenever I see it

Zanz is foreign so such things have all the right- wait, what?

I agree, the typo should be fixed.

the foreign issue is why I don't mind it so much...if I was on a US-based, totally American built game site, I'd have quit right away...I've noticed that with many 'free' online games this is an issue due to lack of money input, but it really turns me off - for instance, I played an MMO (can't remember the game) where I literally had no clue what was going on because the grammar was so horrible.
Like I said, I understand being foreign, and I'm amazed at how good people's English is on this site (my own foreign language skills are considerably lacking). With input, though, I'd hope to be able to do 'easy fixes' like this, so that new people don't get turned off by something as stupid as a mixed up phrase here and there. A totally cohesive, perfect product is what we are looking for as an end result, which almost always (especially on a scale this big) means a group effort, right? So this is my input for now lol

I completely agree, MadEvil. I have had grammar/spelling fixes on my to-do list for a while.

Marked as a known... bug? :)
