Actually ass is a real word also; it's an animal by the proper defination. However the way they are both used today could be considered vulgar slang. Regardless, the word arse is just not used in this country. At least not by anyone I know.

Where did you get that quote from? Because "arse" came first but the Americans started saying "ass" because they couldn't be bothered to say the "r". Therefore ass is a varient of arse, not the other way round. And yes, if you look ass up in an (English) dictionary it will say that is means a donkey and it was a insult before it came to mean bottom because it is a very stupid, smelly kind of donkey.
Iron_Scarecrow is right.

I got the quote from Dictionary.com but later I found another dictionary that said it was not slang; so I removed it. I'll accept that arse is a real word but what difference does it make? People in this country say ass, and they will continue to do so so you can't say it's not correct.

Anyway this is all getting ridiculously off topic.

Exactly.

Post here only if you want to review Interactive Fiction games, upload them or generally talk about them. Not other kind of talking allowed (anymore)

Well, after some swearing and quite some days of work, I've finished the least to be put in the site. I hope other ppl continue their work, so that this section won't be considered a B-serie one. B)

Enjoy!!

For finding me the great old Shannara, I thought I'd do you a favour and review one of your text-only games.
I'm sending Kosta some reviews tonight of games I've uploaded.
After that I'll take a game from your list. k:
