This is a job for the translators (if your language have one?)
In Norwegian it's done like this: "uke(r)" as you could have "week(s)".
I do not like this solution, but do not know if it's possible in ASP as in VB 6.0 to have: IIF(numberOfWeek=1,"week","weeks") giving "1 week" but "2 weeks".

I had this remark as well on our translation and unfortunately it is not that easy in flemish. 1 week is translated as 1 week, but 2 weeks is not 2 weeks, it is 2 weken.
This means that if we would use this trick we would be writing we(e)k(en), or something, wich obviously is very bad to look at.
I asume other languages have the same problem, and the only good solution is that the BBs create an extra tag for when the injury is 1 week, and program it so that tag shows up when the injury becomes (is) 1 week.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Nothing hugely different. If you can follow the game in US English, then it won't be difficult in UK English. Despite the historical divergence between dialectical US and UK English (we call it the Queen's English, WFU03), they are still very similar.

thx i give the uk version a chanche :) The menu looks pretty similiar, the only thing i noticed so far is that the Report cheaters links become political correct(or if the "supected" in US version too?).

And thanks for the hint with queens english, and for your volunteer work for this page :)
