I'll be perfectly fine if the novel gets delayed for a very very long time if a single person complains about the non translating that is happening... Let this be a warning. :v

I do not know what gave you the impression that I was complaining , but still to make it perfectly clear I only asked questions to verify what Cat meant by " i'm bored so i'm not tl'ing this anymore.... " & I don't think I have mentioned anything about tl speed anywhere. I only expressed that I would be sad if this ln ends up abandoned and nothing more. I do understand that there are plenty off readers who do complain about tl speed but please check that I am not one off them.
P.S. --> On a separate note, I do thank all translators & editors for their contribution to this project.

I dont actuslly think he was referring to you, but just giving a general warning. Its very common for people to be complsining about TL speeds, and I guess some of the more experienced people have gotten quite sick of it.
Actually if you check the previous posts then you will find that I was the only one asking about the translation recently, especially about V3C1. So it is quite clear who he was referring to, unless the person himself contradicts it, I atleast wouldn't know how else to take it.
It was a general warning. O.o
On some chat service somewhere on the net were a kid was complaining about the speed of the translation of some translator and every time he got IP banned he changed his IP and made a new account.

As a moderator on a few IRC channels for a certain video streaming site, i hate those types of people the most...

I use British English (I do live in Singapore after all).
The fault you find is most probably the translator's issue (if you're referring to my earlier post), since I don't edit the type of English because I generally like to let the translator do whatever he wants. Also, it isn't standardized in BT. Of course, now that you mention this, I'll change the American English I see (if that's okay with the TL).
The default target language is English, however other target languages are welcomed and encouraged. This guideline will assume the target language is English.
Spelling and Grammar
Due to the nature of this website, and the nationality of the majority of Editors and Readers, the standard spelling lexicon for this Wiki will be based upon American English as defined by the Fourth Edition of the American Heritage Dictionary (5th edition)
The majority of BT actually uses American English, including KLS. ^^

Still, there should be standardization between the TLs and the Editors, so as to make for a more pleasant reading experience overall (or at least from my POV)
