Use more punctuation, what I think you mean was:
Wait are pins, nails? Yes, pins are nails.

First thing, starting a sentence with 'and' is a bad thing, it can even be seen as a grammar mistake. Also, "wait I am looking for the floor I cannot find how much things floor needs?" is not actually an interrogative sentence, if it would be you would be asking us if "you cannot find how much things floor needs". Your last sentence dosent really make sense either, 'how much of what materials are needed' would have been better.

There isn't really a problem with using "And" at the beginning of a sentence

If you use "and" as a sentence then one would assume the two sentences are related. It is most likely fixed by joining the two sentences. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, for someone understanding the concept can use it to make a subtle point.

Yes, because its more of a dialogue instead of formal english. If you tried to put it in writing aside from dialogue means it probably wouldn't be. This is a forum though, and we often write how we would speak.

you're is the short form. Both, "you are" and "you're" are valid. So what was the use of this post, Poots? O.o

You're is cooler.

But Swish wrote "your". So to correct him, you would say "you're"

Oh my god! You are, talking to a guy who aced all his tests through one school year with hundred-percent on each one. It is a forum so I am not that proper. But, I can write proper.

Same thing without grammer:

OMG! your, talking to a dude who got a 100 on all his tests 1 year. it is a forum so i am not all proper. but, i can write proper.

What; do you go to the national academy of failure or something?

Your first paragraph stinks. If that's your best attempt at grammar then I'd be extremely surprised if you got 100% in any english exam you may have taken; unless either your teachers pity you, the tests are inexplicably easy, noone cares how bad your grammar is or you need to find a new school.

Fine. Anyone can remove the Spam or close the topic? I also could answer the questions via pm, if no thread is needed for this.

English talking people, I'm glad it's only my second native language. :roll:

What would be the costs for, let's say a hedge being planted somewhere?

Or types of trees, so if you might want to shape a garden with cobble paths and a big Naldor tree in the middle, some sunflowers etc.

Will the prices for flowers / plants be listed too or are they not covered by these rules?

Hedges i plant for free together with some with you. But all other plants are not the matter of the players. The wilderness is my job and the job of my slave Misjbar ;)

I wonder. Why noone notices the miss of important things like locks and keys within the list? Will be added sooner or later within the next days.

might be, that we all are still overhelmed and gratefull about the project as a whole, so that nobody thinks about nagging yet?
