Dude your English is fine, it was a play on the word 'plastered', which also means drunk.
Also, your English is amazing if it is self-taught!

You will notice he's using his left hand

I am... defeated...

what do injured left hands and typing have to do with Dwarven swords?

If someone wanted to give a Dwarf a sword they could use one of the Space Wolf ones. I think that would look pretty cool

Interestingly, GW had this idea. Back in the Albion campaign, Dwarfs earned the right to a magic item that was, for all intents and purposes, a space wolf frostblade. (Dark Elves got a powerfist!)

I just wanted to add something to the discussion.
Rat was mostly right about differences in weapons. Fighting with an axe and sword is totally different.
As for why dwarves prefer axes to swords is IMHO currently tradition. But this has a good reason. D. are much stronger than agile. Shield gives much, much powerful defence in closed, tight spaces than in open. Bypassing this is crucial. To bypass shield with sword you need speed and agility which D. lack. With axe you can:
-smash it to pieces,
-apply enough force for enemy to loose balance and give you opening,
-use it kinda as a hook - pull shield from the top towards you to get an opening. This is also the main reason why long axes were popular in second row. To pull shield of your enemy and let first row do the killing. I know this from actual fights. I've seen it work.
This is of course very simple approach to the problem, but considering D. anatomy it makes perfect sense.
