Thread: Stropping Wiki

Hello all,
I just started to read the Stropping Wiki at

Razor stropping - Straight Razor Place Wiki

and I don't mean to be picky or anything but it's kinda hard to understand. It almost seems as if it was written and then translated in to English. I have not yet read the whole thing so I don't know if there are some technically confusing parts, but if someone, who knows how to strop properly could fix it up a bit that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry for that. My mistake. I forgot to mention to native people to check out the corrections after writing. Maybe it was Santa Claus who disturbs my thoughts.
I mentioned it today and correction will be done. Thanks

Actually, the thing was kinda written by a Fin and sorta edited by a German. Apparently, it shows a bit, although I must say that I have seen worse produced by natives speakers of the American variant of English in this forum. Any road, as it says on the main page:

This is a Wiki. Please feel free to add relevant information or to make corrections to it. It is only useful if it is correct and up to date. Comments or suggestions can be put on the Discussion page (available from the menu above once you have logged in). Your input is greatly appreciated.

If you like, a Flemish speaking Belgian can have a look at it and revise the language here and there...


I actually like the Suomi-Prussian variant of English used in the article.

Vielleicht sollten wir die Artikel in unseren jeweiligen Muttersprachen schreiben. Nur so eine Idee, damit unsere amerikanischen Gastgeber ein Gespür dafür entwickeln, daß Fremdsprachen wehtun können.

Not just on this forum. The American variant English is degrading at such a rapid rate. It's quite a shame how many people don't take pride in how they speak or write.

Gotta love the international flavor on SRP!

I don't know if it's been edited already or not, but I didn't have any trouble deciphering it.

Good job! Thanks!

Ik denk dat het dan een rommeltje wordt Beberlin.. misschien dat we allemaal in esperanto kunnen posten.. dan heeft iedereen hetzelfde probleem..

Isn't it best to have a language best understood by the multitude? Anything else would create a tremendous redundancy.
