Dojo english: Usa, uk and ireland.

[Pyroloserkid]

I was on the Dojo, and I always click English (USA)..even though I'm in Canada =P .
ANYWAYS.
I just noticed that there's another option: English (Uk and Ireland) .
I clicked that option this time and saw no difference.
Does anyone know the difference?
Is it only there because of different release dates for different countries?

 

[KidSmash]

Well, instead of "cell phone", it says "mobile phone"...
hope that helps ^^;

 

[Doggalina]

Pyro, there are actually two types of english, British English and American English
British English
American English

If that's the only difference, I'm offended.

 

[Sariku]

...the different between the sites is theres no release date on the others. Only Japan and US...

 

[dizzy]

The way they date the entries is different. For example, today's update says "Jun. 28 Thu. 2007" for the USA site but "28/06/2007 Thu" for the UK/Ireland site.

 

[Davimert]

Also, the UK/Ireland version doesn't say the game will launch in 2007, while the US version does.

 

[awesome]

The UK version also uses British slang.

US Version:

Be careful and make sure you don’t get knocked for a loop by a box madly rushing downhill.

UK Version:

Be careful and make sure you don’t get knocked for six by a box madly rushing downhill.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

Wow thats so useless.

UK: Zelda has a slightly more subdued colour scheme.
US: Zelda has a slightly more subdued color scheme.

LOL! They got the 4th of July/5th of November firework night warning right for both countries!
4th of July Cracker launcher comment
US: Be safe and sane when playing with fireworks.
Guy Fawkes Night cracker launcher comment
UK: Be safe and sensible when playing with fireworks.

EDIT: There's a comma at the bottom of the Delfino Plaza description for US.
But none for UK. Guess we don't get to catch our breath in that sentence over here...

Searching: found changes in words like clamoured --> clamored
rumoured --> rumored

Sometimes ellipses (...s) are missing from the US site.
There are occasionally random paragraphings thrown in between pictures and texts sometimes,
that can be missing in either the UK or US pages.

<gets bored>

I'm gonna guess that Smash Bros. is one of the most popular/well known franchises known to video gaming, seeing as how it's characters are so diverse, and it is just so unique from any other game out there. It's one of those games that would sell immensely anywhere, so they probably want to put all the information for the game in as many different languages so many people will understand what is being said

 

[Onifrio]

Also i would think that each region has a different server for faster loading times in different parts of the world. If your in the usa connecting to an eastern european or japanese site have fun with that.

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

It doesn't actually take that much longer at all, in case you were trying to make a point.
I have a nagging feeling the whole site is run from Japan.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

I live in Ontario Canada...what time does the dojo update for me?

 

[Blackadder]

It's all just that The slight diffrence in the English launguage.
British english, (I'm australian, so we follow that faction)
Or Yank talk.
(American english)
There essentialy the same thing, just some diffrent terms and spelling.
I.E "suprising" (british/Irleand/Australia/New Zeland/Commonwealth canada)
and "suprizing" (I think, I think Americans Use Z for than S.) And thats American. And as for the times of updating, I honestly don't know.
I get mine at 5:00 PM, Just what I need after an exam!

 

[Pichu_815]

@ Blackadder- no, suprising is still spelled the same way here.

But anyway, it's all about different slang and word use. For example, have you ever read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? That's the British title for the first book. In America, we use 'Sorceror's Stone'. That's just one difference. Here's another: In America and Canada, football is played by a bunch of guys in gigantic pads with an ellyptical, brown ball. If you say 'football' anywhere else in the world, you're talking about a generally white ball with black spots placed artfully around the spherical surface. So, it's not a huge difference, but big enough to merit having a different site.

 

[Blackadder]

@ Blackadder- no, suprising is still spelled the same way here.

Is it?
Sorry, I'm no expert on the subject, I just through in my thoughts.

But yeh, Pichu is also right on the slang and stuff thing.
Its really no big deal, I wouldent get to worked up over it, just stick
to whichever you prefer.

 

[splat]

If that's the only difference, I'm offended.

why would you be?
it's probably just because of the release dates.

 

[Sporkman]

Let's be honest, there is only one type of english. American is an entirely different language.

Knocked for a loop?! what the hell is that supposed to mean! The cricket reference is much better.
