It's "dice." Not "dices."

Can I just make a general observation about dice terminology? "Dice" is the plural form of "die." "Dices" is not a word.

So you say... which in Spanish is: "eso dices tú" ;)

Yes, I agree, but I don't think your post will have much of an effect here. Maybe in translation or developer forums? By the way, we can change the English text in the translation page (https://boardgamearena.com/translationhq), I've changed "dices" to "dice" (or "dice" to "die") a few times.

It is a word, just not the plural of "die". "He dices the onions, she dices the peppers." :ugeek:

Pedantry aside, though, BGA is an international site with many folks from non-English speaking countries. Most everyone will know what someone means by "dices", even though it is not the correct word.

The more reason to actually use correct language, and not mislead people who do not have English as a first language?
