too little or maybe: not enough

[medopu]

When you want to plop a thing on map and it's already occupied, the error shows up:

too little space.

It could be correct, i'm certainly not an english expert, but I don't know, i was thinking "not enough space" sounds better, what do you guys think?

Agreed "not enough space" is better.

I'd have thought "insufficient space" but both "too little space" and "not enough space" are just as grammatically viable.

I thought space acts as a money. You can have enough or not enough, you can have sufficient or insufficient amount of space/money, but you don't have little money or big space??

Of course you can. Both money and space. It does sound weird for non-native speakers, though, I admit that.

Ok , so I admit i'm wrong, as i said: i'm no expert.

You don't have to worry about the grammar yet since we'll be having an editor to go over the text. We don't want to take the responsibility of that since none of us at the Colossal office is a native English speaker However I believe this has been changed to "Space already occupied" or similar. Let's see what it will be in the end

It should just say "Danger! Will Robinson. Danger!"

I agree. This should be the default error message left in /sys/log whenever the game quits unexpectedly.

"Can't place that there Milord!"

 

[SonGoku]

"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I cannot do that."

 

[sermaciej]

"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I cannot do that."

That would be awesome. Maybe instead of "Dave" there would be player's nick?

or indeed

" Rude alert! Rude alert! An electrical fire has knocked out my voice recognition unicycle! Many Wurlitzers are missing from my database. Abandon shop! This is not a daffodil. Repeat, this is not a daffodil"

I think you just convinced me to watch Red Drawf.

Demi-mod rules: Greygor is correct.
