As you all know the new items this month are the angelic mic and gwee the baby dragon.

I was reading the descriptions for the different ways you can hold gwee.

Now for the picture of him breathing fire it said "he's ungry when he breathes fire"

Is this a gramatical error? Or does it just sound a bit funny? Or did gaia do it that way on purpose making it sound like the dragon gets hungry when he breathes fire?

I look at it this way: When people are hungry, their stomach signals this fact by making noises, when this dragon gets hungry, he breaths fire to let you know.

But yes, it is kind of an unclear sentence. smile

*Edit*
I have just caugut and fixed my own grammar error in this post. Oh, the irony...

"Grammatical" is spelled with two Ms.

It should probably be something like, "He breathes fire when he's hungry."

They could have ment for it to sound like both 'hungrey' and 'angry'?

Naw, the irony lies in that you had a spelling error in your edit that was there to TELL us that you fixed a mistake! xd

I don't understand why Gwee would breathe fire when he's hungry. I can accept angry, but... he could have breathed fire after he ate as a form of burping 3nodding

Maybe they did it just to spite us here at 3G?
