I have a silly question. What do you call the template that's used in casting a metal figure, or part of a machine - is it a mould? I'm asking becasue mould could also be the fungi that develop on spoiled food, and that's not exactly what I wana say ;-).
It's related to an article I wrote some time ago, here's a link in case you are curious: http://blog.sen-works.net/?p=390&langswitch_lang=en Any other corrections are also welcome. Edited by Sennin on 17 April 2010 at 3:25am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yea, sorry, that's corrected. But regarding mold or mould, I think both spellings are possible (i.e. it's British/American). Anything else embarrassing in my creation? I'm not the type that gets insulted easily, so please share. Edited by Sennin on 17 April 2010 at 3:31am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah that's right,USA would use the spelling Mold,
just a small point,I would have said "develops" rather than "develop" as you are talking about more than one mould. Edited by snig on 17 April 2010 at 5:01am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Good point but fungi is plural ^_^. As I see it, you have to choose either to go with the correct Latin or the correct English... Anyway, my question was about the correctness (and also the style; do you find any passages weird? Any particular phrase? ) of the creative text, rather than the forum posts above. I'm more concerned with the style, not the minor grammar blunders. Edited by Sennin on 17 April 2010 at 3:50am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

that's the point I'm making,to be honest with you it could be correct either way,I'm not an expert on English grammar,it's just that's how I would have said it,also I guess it's just a typo but you have incorrectly spelt "because". 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
