Regarding the section using the word 'Dice' Strictly speaking the word 'Die' should be used as there is only one 'dice' and 'Die' is the singular of 'Dice'

Most English speaking people do NOT make this distinction when speaking but when used in the context of written instructions people may be looking for more than one 'Die'.

I will leave this decision to the Authors of the system.

This may be seen as 'nitpicking' but as we are targeting an educational audience I think it behoves us to be as precise as possible.

Wouldn't Question Mark be a better description than Interrogation Mark? Searching English Wikipedia for Interrogation Mark re-directs to Question Mark. Making change. Anonymous 11:15, 2 Feb 2008 (CET)
