Thanks for the explanation, but I do get it now! :-) I wasn't commenting on the intent of Dark Agenda or on the challenge itself, which I support, but on the wording on the Profile page.

I understand that the suggested hierarchy is only a suggestion which doesn't have to be followed. However, it might be nice to emphasise this on the page itself, or to include some other suggested hierarchies, or to have each of the bullet points as a separate suggestion, without implying that the most basic approach is to write a "foreign" culture?

Again, my issue with write for a language and culture other than your own is not that I want to just write my culture; this year I'm fully intending to both request and offer other cultures as part of the challenge. It's just that all through the page the language used has been "chromatic", and now it's "other than your own", so it sounds like they're being equated -- which isn't what was intended.

And thanks for considering clarifying the page!
