Misc phrase changes.
== Letter Note to the new newbie digger ==Digging can be a complicated task to wrap your mind around. Reading the Wurm Wikipedia and tutorials only confused me. This guide is an attempt to assist new players understand what those numbers mean when they you inspect the border of tileswhat happens when you dig.(Betcha didn't think digging was hard before Wurm eh?)

The arrows represent the dirt we are going to dig, and drop to flatten the tile.
In example '''B''' we see that although we have flattened the first tile, now the second tile has a slight raise! This is because we you are dealing not only with individual tile flatness, but also terrain flatness. To remedy this, as the arrows show, we you would have to lower the whole first tile by digging 1 dirt out of each square to match the other two tiles.
=== Terraces ===
Using what you've learned, you can now shape the land into terraces. Think of some [http://rst.gsfc.nasa.gov/Sect6/ida-china-pho-environment.jpg oriental hillsides.] Doing this on a mountain side is pretty extreme, and beyond the scope of this tutorial. Doing this on small gentle hills is useful so that you don't end up with a large flat spot, followed by a very steep hill! Example '''B''' above is what we are aiming for. We want a flat tile, followed by an angled tile, followed again by a flat tile. This will allow the land to follow a gentle hill, while maintaining useful land!
