Just regional differences. | | | Karsten

Does it matter? It seems to me that the meaning would be different. If you read "complete series" as, well... "complete series", as opposite to "complete season", then "multiple Complete TV Series are packaged together" would mean, for instance, Buffy and Angel packed together. | | | | -- Enry |

| | Posted: | | | | It was written by both and was intended to cover complete series such as the Angel and Buffy examples you cite.
They are no longer "rare" as the rule states but three years ago when it was written they were. |

From the complicated structure of the sentence (two comma's and a hyphen), I would say it was written by a German. | | | | Hans |

Nope, I am fairly sure it wasn't me  Anyway, the word Series is supposed to refer to several "seasons" of a TV show, as Rick already pointed out. The unfortunate wording, as a single season is referred to as series in the UK, was only discovered later. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | Let me get this straight, this part of the rules isn't talking about a set of seasons(US)/series(UK) in one great box (e.g. a Babylon 5 box or a Friends box)?
It is talking about two different TV shows in a super box, e.g. a box containing Babylon 5 AND Crusade or a box containing Friends AND Joey.
Is that correct? | | | Karsten

Is that correct? No Karsten, it is talking about a "set of seasons(US)/series(UK) in one great box (e.g. a Babylon 5 box or a Friends box)" |

| | Posted: | | | | We can't do that, Karsten. Only Ken can do that. Is it colour or color? While I don't have a problem with the change, that is up to ken and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. It is an US based program... when in Rome...in short I think it is much ado about nothing.

Attention: The Apostrophe Police have arrived. This rule contains an incorrect "it's". Not written by anyone competent in either the English or American language. "... please note that the possessive form of it does not take an apostrophe any more than ours, yours or hers do..."  | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
