excuse me?
there is lots of room for language discussions in "off topic"

First lesson: if and when:
If it will happen you use when.
If it is a possibility you use if.

Examples:
When you're going to meet the enemy fleet you should be on-line. (it will happen)

If I don't meet my enemy, what should I do (it is not certain whether it will happen or not)

Wrong:
* Is I don't meet my enemy.

Second lesson
* You enemy fleet will attack you Home

Personal pronouns (subject/non subject)
singular
1st person: I/me
2nd person: you/you
3rd person: he/him, she/her, it/it
plural
1st person: we/us
2st person: you/you
3rd person: they/them

Possesive pronouns
singular
1st person: my
2nd person: your
3rd person: his, her, its
plural
1st person: our
2st person: your
3rd person: their

So it should be:
Your enemy fleet will attack your home

Is you are in diferent alliance, you can't read that messages
Is better than you idea, Admin.

You aren't really paying attention to the lessons, are you?
See lesson 1

* And your enemy will destroy your shipyard, and you cry
And your enemy will destroy your shipyard, and you will cry (like a little baby)

* I'm agree with Jam
In English it is just a verb.
So it should be:
I agree
or
I disagree
I don't agree

the mistakes that are most common are these:
its or it`s?

1.
it`s = it has
its = something of it

lot of people use it`s all the time and this is quite confusing

2.
he, she, it -> the verb has to be with an "s" at the end
we, they, you, i.... -> no "s"

and the "s" has to be there only once,
so this is wrong:
"does he knows?"
it has to be:
"does he know?"
cause the "does" already has the "s"

yup... that's 'cause the ' stands for missing letters ('ll = will, 'd = would, and, come to think of it, I used 'cause instead of because )

Well if you use bad english so often you will almost think you can speak it fluently. And I always experience a lot of trouble when I try to read ruben's post (no offense)
