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.

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.

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.

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.

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".
