Grammar is crap though! After 25 years of teaching Englishes, stupid errors like this annoy me!

FEWER THAN!

Fer crying out loud!

'Fixed'. Happy? hehe

A, uh, carry over from programming:

< means less than.
< 10
is translated to:
less than 10.

Actually not an English major, I just found myself in a situation where I was teaching and it lasted much longer than I anticipated.

Yes, language changes, sometimes not for the better. For me, the difference between countable and uncountable nouns is sacred! ��

I'm from a very working class area of London and basically am as common as muck. "Fer" is actually quite mild! ��

Gonna 'ave ta take a butcher's a' new banner!

As a constantly changing language, any theoretical mistake in grammers is nothing more than a potential future rule to be broken in the future.

Apparently, some members here have WAY TO MUCH TIME on their hands.

The English major uses "fer" ...

Okay, whatever!

Love the meme, @Bings.

@Beerislife, at least it doesn't say "less then"... (One of my many pet peeves, by the way.)

O.K., it's better. The first half of the message is appropriate and informative to all. The second half is superfluous, as those of us with more than 10 posts can't start a thread anyway. But, I'm not in charge.

On to the next problem!

It's going to stay. It is designed to get ones attention, and it does that. The message isn't threatening; it's explanatory. Again, by design.

I will add a loud audible klaxon horn warning for the visually impaired forum members...

Perfect! Really. Big thumbs up.

NOT!!!

Okay, thanks, SH, I'll take a look in a minute...

...and I did. It's definitely better, although its color scheme is still startling. I know the point is to get the person's attention, so you can't make it too innocuous, but maybe keep the yellow background and change the text to something like a dark sky blue? The yellow would make it noticeable, but the blue would keep it from looking so ominous.

I've modified the displayed message, but no matter, the message will still display IF a member with ten or more posts credited to there account enters/attempts to create a post there.
