    No offense again to the admins and everything.... but there are too many to correct. Those were just few examples in the many...

    The text on that page will be a copy of what appears in game. If it says moose in maplestory.exe, then it says moose there. This is nexon we're talking about; of course it's littered with grammer erroas.

    oohhh, i thought an admin wrote this, like actually made questions and answers.

    That clears it up. Man this is proof that nexon has really really really bad english. I thought it was just really bad, but no, its really really really bad english.

    Nexon probably just used a web translator and stole the text from kMS or something. When you do that, you always end up with bad grammering skills.

    It's grammar people. GRAMMAR.

    They don't use web-translators, they hire actual people for these translations, but they usually hire people that don't have English as their native tongue, so these leave a lot to desire.
