I got it for ya. I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm not putting my heart into this. I mean, hypothetically, if I were just doing this to bother the apologists or people who don't get the satire, well, that would just be silly.

Should (auxiliary verb)
1. simple past tense of shall.
2. (used to express condition): Were he to arrive, I should be pleased.
3. must; ought (used to indicate duty, propriety, or expediency): You should not do that.

4. would (used to make a statement less direct or blunt): I should think you would apologize.

Just as an additional note, "should" is often confused with "could" which I believe was what the individual creating the patch notes intended to write.

Could (auxiliary verb)

1. (used to express possibility): I wonder who that could be at the door. That couldn't be true.
2. (used to express conditional possibility or ability): You could do it if you tried.

3. (used in making polite requests): Could you open the door for me, please?
4. (used in asking for permission): Could I borrow your pen?
5. (used in offering suggestions or advice): You could write and ask for more information. You could at least have called me.

Just another instance where knowing the meaning of words and their proper usage is essential to conveying the intended message. I, as always, am happy to help Cryptic improve to the best of my ability. There's no need to thank me, just reach for the stars.

I must have done a fault when I asked for the "proper" meaning of the word without knowing it actually differs from the meaning in which it's actually used.

I apologize.

*sighs* Again with the baseless insults. But, I forgive you. If I hated Cryptic and CO as much as you do, I probably would resort to such tactics as well when in the face of someone who is truly devoted to seeing them achieve the greatness that those of us who believe know they can.

That's a shame, though, incorrect. I've been nothing but polite and have made no personal attacks against you. I merely ask for you to explain your motivation. On the other hand, you've called me a troll, insulted my discussion, created a link to an objectionable video (watching A Troll in Central Park caused me great distress as a child), and spoke inappropriately about the insertion of objects into my person. Honestly, there's only one person being hostile and it isn't me.

I simply wish to help and engage in conversation where we can make CO a better place for everyone. Unfortunately, some, rather than discuss, have decided to become hostile. It is quite sad. Though, some times people must suffer for what they believe in! If I am banned because someone wishes destroy what we love, the rest must continue on!

Hail Cryptic!

Next time, if I'm not banned, we'll be discussing Teleporters and how they are ruining competitive PVP and a risk for national security.
