Killa - always changing descriptions? well that sounds like an editor's nightmare!  And I must thank you also, its the first cinematic that got my interest enough to get into The Chosen Ones. I figured if he put that much work into just the first one, and theres seeeeecret ones too?!?! That got my interest! And that first cinematic had no errors that I saw (even payed close attention for errors on my second time watching!).  And with no errors my mind concentrates on the plot! (Otherwise all I think is 'well that wasn't right' and I stop paying attention to the rest lmao!)

Shinokyofu - And 'the ones that' vs. 'those who' ('that' should be changed to 'who' either way)- Its hard to describe, but if you write a paper, you must use 'one' instead of he/she them/they etc.   If you have been using he/she them/they then you should stay away from 'one' to keep the same format type.  Unless you are talking about people who aren't there... For example, both George and Sally dispose of trash properly. George might say to Sally, "The ones who throw trash on the street should be put in jail!"  But he would also say "Those who throw trash where it belongs should be commended!" because it is something they both do.  Or if you're talking about a soldier when there are no soldiers present 'Its the ones who sacrificed their lives that should be praised'.  I'm not sure if this is a rule or just standard practice to be honest. 

P.S.  I stink at knowing when to use 'who' or 'whom', but 'whom' seems to be used less and less often, and I would not be surprised to find that we no longer use it at all in a few more years.  If anyone knows the proper usage for 'whom' please jump in!!
