Hello ZacUK,
Thank you for your report. I've corrected all this.
Along this vein...

I didn't like to say anything before, as I realise English is not your first language and your English is far better than my French.
Oh and another spelling mistake:

The swap has been confirmed by xxxxxx and you. You can now send your coins by mail.
Don't foreget to update your online collection and rate xxxxxx when you'll receive his/her coins

"foreget" should be "forget"

Matt
Thank you Matt. Please feel free to report any mistake or any sentence that sounds weird.
There are so many forums and websites to learn and teach English, friends. I think the main objective of having this website is to share info. about coins and I think it's serving the purpose beautifully.

Let us all stick to the reason we all are here. I personally feel you both are being way too critical, especially Matt with his last comment. I am sure we all are smart enough to know what the Admin. is trying to say even if there are some typos/ errors.  :wiz:

Really, I appreciate when someone reports a mistake. I'd like Numista to be exempt of error, although my English isn't perfect. So any help to make Numista better is welcome.
That is so nice of you, Xavier.

Highly appreciated.  :)

I wasn't being critical, I was trying to help. Xavier had made it clear he WANTED to know about spelling mistakes etc, so that was why I pointed them out. Quite why you decided to jump on me I don't understand, you don't even know me.
Matt,

Since I am new here, I was not aware of the background. Apologies if you felf offended, I was just expressing my views and my intention was not to hurt anyone.  8)

There are several places on Numista where the word "accept" is spelled "accpet".
