thx

I agree with filburt1, Erwin, Mist and so on.

Although it is good practise to use phrases, hackers should not be forced to do so.
Why are hacks being made? Because the ppl makeing them wanted to have some special feature, etc. But mainly this is just fun, isn't it?.

So if you're forced to use phrases (which might lead to longer development time) this is getting more like "work" then fun ...

For what it's worth, I usually make a first release that does not contain phrases, but then go back later and phrase them. It is too much work to jump into the phrase system everytime I want to change or add a word, although eventaully I'll add them. My shoutbox hack followed this and so will any major hacks I release.
