Not to be terribly pedantic, but, just fyi, you can't use "they" to refer to "the player" since the former is plural and the latter is singular. – [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 03:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC) | Not to be terribly pedantic, but, just fyi, you can't use "they" to refer to "the player" since the former is plural and the latter is singular. – [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 03:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC) | ||
:Many sources now consider "they" to be a legitimate usage in place of a singular pronoun which would require a specified gender, so instead of saying that the player is a he or a she (or listing both) one is able to refer to them with a normally plural pronoun. I'll let it slide, but I thought you should know that this usage is pretty commonplace.

::Just because I claimed that I wasn't terribly pedantic doesn't mean I'm not ;). And if you don't want to write "he or she," "he" alone can be used as an androgynous singular pronoun. – [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 03:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
Hey Miles! I dunno if you're the right person to ask, but since you're dedicated to the SSE pages, I'll ask anyway. I think that the SSE pages about the levels themselves should have some indication of what order it comes in. Por ejemplo, "Midair Stadium should have a 1 somehwere. Do you get what I mean?
