Hi,

I think we should not use "sagen" if someone has written something wrong.
Although it's "say" in English I think we should not use it in German and instead use our normal error message.

We should not use "sagen" if someone has written something wrong.
Although it's "say" in English, we should not use it in German
and instead use our normal error message.
