And this is how language evolves... when I was younger, American English dictionaries still had the [original] spelling as aluminIum. Its a metal, like Sodum, Calcum and Magnesum
Americans are good at cleaning up English - getting rid of a letter and even a whole syllable in aluminum which saves time, tossing out that silly "u" in color... Frankly, I'm surprised it isn't calcum and magnesum over here.And this is how language evolves... when I was younger, American English dictionaries still had the [original] spelling as aluminIum.

Writing esthetic instead of aesthetic is cleaning up. (Seriously, the Brits should see about that; their Greek spellings are insane.)Americans are good at cleaning up English - getting rid of a letter and even a whole syllable in aluminum which saves time, tossing out that silly "u" in color... Frankly, I'm surprised it isn't calcum and magnesum over here.
However, changing aluminium into aluminum is mutilating a word and changing its root. Aluminium is spellt and PRONOUNCED with an "i" in every other language that I know of: Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Romanian, Swedish... You name it!
It's well-known that Webster altered the spelling of many American-English words in his original early-19th c dictionary for the purpose of asserting your cultural and linguistic identity shorly after the American Revolution. He thought many spellings were complicated, so he changed them and Americans embraced those changes. Unlike differences in grammar and vocabulary, those changes didn't take place gradually or naturally.
That's my viewpoint as a non-native speaker who was taught British English during childhood but has come to appreciate both varieties over time.

I played until the end of chapter 1 and it seems there's not any other chapter. Is it an error in my folder or your port only contains chapter one, actually?
Thank you, in advance!

If you are looking for a hardcore sex game, better look elsewhere. This is just a pure romance game.
Yes, but after overcoming the error, I changed the folder to the original state (removed the patch) and continued playing, because it started creating a text box that would open my keyboard everytime I would try to create a new save, which made saving the game almost impossible (because everytime I closed the keyboard, it would open again, and so forth).
Should I add the patch back again to the folder? Is there any way to stop this keyboard opening thing, like removing a specific part of the patch file, or something?
Thank you, again!

I
This will not affect the game.
If you passed Ep.1 then you can remove PATCH from game folder.
This will not affect the game.
Thank you and I apologize for the time I took from you.
I already solved it, just had to remove 4 files from the folder "game" and it was all right, no more keyboard opening endlessly.
Thank you, yet again, both for answering me and for the android port!
