    I meant quite good for translator! Finnish as a language is very difficult. We have over dozen ends to a word, for example Washington/issa/iin/ista/issakin/ia etc etc where in English you put a word before the actual word, you are going TO Washington, or staying IN Washington etc. In addition there is no She/He in Finnish, only Hän for both sexes. Thats why those translators usually fails very badly, and I was surprised that it was so good! :smile: But lets calm down now, we have hijacked this thread from Ann completely!

    Ann, don't let an ignorant few get you down. I've been to your site and have posted there in the past. This site is also a great wealth of information on the American Civil War. There are people here with so many diverse interests in the many facets of the war that you can't be here and help but learn something new on a regular basis.
    Don't quit.
    If you need something or have questions you can always send me a private message...if I don't know the answer I'll do my best to either find it or find someone who has it.
    Best,
    Erik

    The ACW is for everyone, plain and simple. I was in a german army hut waiting to get on a german aircraft to jump with a few germans and I was telling them about the First Minnesota and the Battle of Gettysburg. The war crossed all boundaries and nationalities. It was OUR war but the world watched and was definently involved.

    I haven't posted there, but I've been to your site and looked it over, and there's some really good stuff there. The ONLY thing I've had an issue with was posting the link to Bilinda's blog where almost every swear word in the book was included. I admit that I haven't read everything on your site, but when I do visit I've actually come away learning something. Today, for example, I went to your homepage http://www.factasy.com/civil_war/ and I saw:
    My first instinct was, Virginia barely joined the Confederacy, surely the capital hadn't been moved to Richmond by then, but sure enough it was. I learn something almost everytime I stop at your site. Thanks for being here!
