post the save--let us have a crack at it

OK. I am switching to .10 anyways.

Ah!  Well, dying is an excellent way to improve the value of cloth.  Good job.  Which dyes are you using?

...Oh, you meant dieing. 

I most simply cannot let these false incitements stand!

Dieing = Dying
Dyeing = Dyeing

~Urist McGrammar

Ah phoey!  I half-ass checked to make sure "dieing" was a word, and it is, but I didn't check to make sure it meant what I thought.

"Dieing" actually means "to impress, shape, or cut with a die."

So, dieing ≠ dying ≠ dyeing, but they're all words (homophones too).  English is such a screwed up language.

Still, thank you for the correction.

All natural languages kinda blow- but they weren't designed to make sense, because they weren't designed at all!

Google has just told me dieing means to cease existing.

I do not trust it.

Webster's Unabridged 2nd Edition says the past tense of the verb intransitive "die", as in to cease living, is dying.  Dieing is the past tense of the transitive verb "die" meaning to mold, stamp, cut or shape with a die (noun meaning a mechanical tool, not a game device).
