How did you manage to spell 'ruiters' wrong when you are from that country?

ROFL. I laughed pretty hard at that.

[I__CHAOS__I]

but it's not spelled wrong

[StrokeyBlofeld]

No it's not how it is spelt, but it's still funny.

ruiters what is wrong spelled about that word? at least it's an existing word...

Don't know if this is relevant, but in German, "uhlan" is " der Ulan," but "uhlan" is just the anglicized version. I don't know about "ruyter" vs. "ruiter." Maybe in older Dutch "i" replaced "y?"

true kaiser, and the plural form of it would be "Ulanen"
i don't think that he spelled "ruyter" wrong by writing ruiter, if that person is dutch, he knows it^^

oh and also the Tschapka-Ulan(on your game versions probably Czapka-Uhlan) comes form the turkish word ?apka which means hat
i guessed it could be like that, looked it up and was right :-)

[huGGy]

Still funny, though.
