Dear Games Workshop (TM, C etc etc)
Yep, you certainly do design and produce some of the nicest miniatures around; they've been good enough to ensnare me in your games web, nice work. You obviously employ some of the best sculptors and figure painters around, no doubt about that.
Shame you couldn't do the same with 'Wordsmiths'. Are you trying to single handedly evolve the English language? Doing a 'Bill Gates/Microsoft' perhaps?
Those little cuboid shapes we throw onto our games tables, you know the ones, they have the numbers 1 to 6 on them, or little indentations on each face varying between 1 and 6, and we throw them - Dice.
That's the one, well, guys, 'dice' is a plural noun. Its singular is 'Die'. You throw dice when there are two or more of them. Roll one of them and you roll a die....
Now, really, how hard can it be? English I'd assumed was your native tongue, after all you are based in England.
One of them is a die, two or more of them are dice. Now get your editors to scurry away into their little corners and write that out 1000 times.. by morning .... or someone will cut you XXXXXXX off.. (allusion to Monty Python 'The Life of Brian' etc etc)
