warranto

Showing a lack of intelligence by substituting the correct word with something else simply in the name of slang, meanwhile attempting to refute the idea that it ISN'T the correct word is even worse.

If you're so positive you are correct, what is the rebuttal against all the major game makers using the term themselves? Are we suggesting that the primary users and developers of the technology in the gaming community are just ignorant? It is such a futile argument, that I'm actually quite amazed that you take the stance you do, warranto.. Do a simple search on the Internet, visit the developers sites, read all the documentation that they provide, then come back and tell me that they are all wrong, and you are right..

Slang is slang. It may be an accepted term to use, but it doesn't make it any less "proper". I'm not saying it's completely and utterly wrong to use it, it just shows a lower intellect to argue that anything else is wrong, as some people appear to be dong when they come up with stuff such as "no one cares", and "everyone else does it".

Heck, even I use slang. In Canada, theft is not called theft; it's actually called "conversion", but everyone still calls it theft. Does that mean theft is the incorrect term to use? Yes, it is. However it's a common phrase, so people use it. It doesn't make it any better, though, when it is supposed to be called conversion.

Perhpas to clarify some point to avoid confusion. Slang isn't wrong, as it it is a generally accepted form to use. It's simply not proper to use slang over the correct term. The "lack of intellect" simply refers to people using arguements against the proper use of the term, not the use of the term itself.

I'm not attempting to argue that it is absolutely wrong to use, but rather that having Aircraftkiller correct people isn't wrong either, as it is proper to use the correct term rather than slang.
