I agree with Memnoch about waiting for the QA. Testing and bug squashing is a tedious business and no one can EVER give an accurate estimate as to when it will be done. Are there debuggers for the AI language? Perhaps not, then debugging AI scripts can get real fun (and take forever). The longer you look, the more bugs you find. It is really just a question of when it is "good enough".
Epona, I remember seeing a PBS (Public Broadcasting Corp, similar to BBC) documentary on the history of the English language. There is a costal island in Virginia where the locals speak what is supposed to be a pretty good approximation of what Elizabethan English sounded like. It sounds like a mild southern drawl to my Yankee ears! As far a language change goes, this is natural and not necessarily a bad thing. We ditched Thee and Thou centuries ago and along with it the grammatical complications associated with a formal and informal case. Plus, we don't have to fret over whether Du/Tu or Sie/Vu somebody. Whenever I am speaking to a German and I am not sure about using Sie or Du, I cheat and try to use English for those "you" statements. Cheese? You bet!
BTW- because of the discrepancy in the way that Americans and everyone else writes dates (and times), there is a special ISO method for writing dates: YearMonthDay.
