I am working on the language learning programs, getting them up now. It is going to take me a little while longer, not only because I am slow, but the back end is slow too. But, I have a little surprise for you guys.

While I was rebuilding them, I ended up building programs for four languages I didn't have before thinking I did. So say hello to Portuguese, Swedish, Korean and Vietnamese.

Thanks shannon,
time to drop the module!

Okay. I have put up a few of the programs for language learning. Now I must rest my eyes.

All language learning programs are now up and active. Now I'm going to rest and tomorrow get started on correcting the other errors that were found.

Enjoy.

So Shannon, in your dreams now, do you speak fluent Portuguese to attractive dark-skinned women of the Azores?
Just curious, do you have command of other languages or just enough to get by?
Speaking Portuguese will definitely be on my hit parade-someday.

I have been wanting to learn a second language, but I am somewhat confused as to which one would be best to learn... should I finish learning Spanish? Take up French? Italian? Japanese? German? Haven't been able to decide yet. At the moment, I speak English and Visual Basic 6.

Lol, I want to speak programming too
Awsome work Shannon!

I'm def. doing french and getting the desire out of my system. Then Italian!

I may be able to visit Europe this summer. If so, I'll take a look at which culture most appeals and then learn that language. Might have to learn a language spoken in a country known for their exceptionally beautiful women. lol

Probably would do best speaking German, as it's supposed to be the most widely spoken European language, besides English, but French certainly does have an effect on the ladies...

I was just looking over the Anger management program's script, and realized something interesting, now that I'm not so loopy anymore. The omission of the word "of" in the particular location SubTest found it ["I now completely disconnect from, let go, release and reject of frustration, and I remain completely calm, tranquil and peaceful instead."] actually works as English. It's an unusual and secondary usage where the word "of" is implied, but it is valid. In this case, the effect is to say "I now let go my frustration". The grammar works because the "of" is implied. This form is more archaic and would be more likely to be found in something written a few hundred years ago, but because we still teach works of literature from those periods, we still see this occasionally.

That basically means there is technically no error, but I am going to rebuild the program anyway. The point of posting the scripts is to show you what's going on so you'll feel comfortable using the programs. I know some of you are just as particular as I am, and even something like this would be unsettling. So... today I will start posting the scripts for the programs that were found to have errors, and we can all have fun looking for errors that SubTest missed. Somehow, I doubt any further problems will be found.

Just a question, is the "Become Irresistibly Attractive to Beautiful Women Version 7.1" 4G?
I hope so. :L
/r3mp

It is not 4G. You can tell in the following ways if a program is 4G:

1. The product code will end with "4G".
   
2. The title of the program in the store will list it as being "(4G/Type __)"
   
3. The files themselves will state that it is a 4G program.
   

However, it is still a very powerful and effective program. I'll be rebuilding it shortly after I get used to these contacts and finish fixing the script errors that have been found.

Go ahead and use it and you can decide later on if you wish to upgrade to 4G.

What no way?!
I bought it becaused I thought It was 4G.
I have to buy it again? I'm not even gonna use it for a while. :L
This month I'm only going to use the Jap Language program, for maximum results. :'(

If you bought it because you thought it was 4G, just request a refund. Our policy is that you use it until the instructions say, before you're eligible for a refund, but I'll authorize a refund for you in this case. Then, just get it when the 4G version comes out.

I'm working on upgrading these programs as fast as I can, but we have basically had to drop to half speed in order to enact the current program of having the scripts be available for public examination before they're built.

Hi Shannon!
This is not an omission, but a "misplaced of" that I was pointing to. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you meant here, but in your comment it seems to me that you are talking about "let go" as an error instead of "I reject OF frustration". To me this "of" location seemed incorrect and I thought you just misplaced it. I've been told "reject OF frustration" is unfortunate! ("unfortunate" was the teacher's word. He didn't say "incorrect" though, and said it would be better to write "let go of". Since he didn't say "incorrect", maybe he would agree with your explanation.)
He is a 50 something English teacher.
I'm not in place to argue about grammar, but are you sure it isn't an error? Because if it is, it means I got GCed

Can I ask for an upgrade to Jackie once you'll have rebuilt this program?

Ps: I downloaded the language learning subs today. Thanks!

You're going to find that experts in all fields disagree with one another. In this case, the situation represents an error according to the most commonly used modern rules of usage of the English language. That I don't deny.

However, it isn't an error under all rules of usage. As I stated before, the rules of usage and grammar in the English language do change over time. This omission of the word "of" would be considered an "artistic usage" of the grammatical structure, more common in the time of Shakespeare.

This is not the time of Shakespeare. That's why I agreed to rebuild it. Yes, you can ask for an upgrade.
