Association football
Hi! Welcome! Thank you for editing:) it means a lot, even if some of the people act really insensitively about it. We all appreciate it. So I begin by saying that I mean well, and please don't take get discouraged or take offense if anything comes off too strong.

Well, the edit you made is fine, *but*:


 * when you change "seventeen" to "several", it loses information—people don't get as much out of the article that way.


 * I'm pretty sure you meant "exceptions" instead of "acceptions".


 * the sentence ". . . broad terms, which allow flexibility . . ." should be left as is: "terms" is the subject. For the verb to be "allows", you'd need "terms" to be in the singular.


 * You'll need to leave the word "football" as it is. Even though you and I never use it in that context, we try to keep articles consistent within themselves. The title uses the Commonwealth version. So just let it be. Frustrating, I know.

All the rest is great (wayyy better than my first edit), but some of it just isn't necessary. "Complex" is perfectly fine to leave as it is, for example. I suggest undoing the whole edit and starting over. Try to only make necessary changes—ones that really impact the reading of the article. Please feel free to leave another message on my talk page. If you have any trouble with that, there's an "email this user" link on the sidebar of any user's page. Great luck!
