Hi Folks.
Here's the preamble from my changeset:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"OK. You could say that this is a silly crusade, but I like my Squeak
messages to be in proper English (at least when the language you're using is
English).
I was messing around with the HangMan file-in and I got a walkback that had
the following title: 'Error: HangManPhrases classs are not indexable'. I
just couldn't stand the extra 's' on 'class', so I created a nifty new
String method called asPlural and I modified the sender of the odd string to
use the new String modifier. Take it or leave it, but I think this makes
auto-generated text just a little easier to read."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you find this new String modifier useful too.
Cheers!
