Xirka Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 So, recently Digital Extremes renewed their certificatesand they are now Digital Extremes ltd. Now, a few people have insisted that we must stop calling them DE and /must/ use DEl, I for one so not care to follow them in the folly of insisting on anything. I ask you all what you think instead. DE or DEl? Or does it not even matter in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Himari- Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 With either name I'm pretty sure people will know who is being talked about so I doubt that it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja_man Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 DeL sounds like , so I think I'll stick with the former Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's DE. We don't call Valve "Valve Co." or Microsoft "MSC." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brahmastra Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 "you guys" "DE" "DEL" "DYEL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etsoree Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 DeL sounds like , so I think I'll stick with the former I actually just commented on another post when someone said "DEL". DE, all the way. "DEL" is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashSpider Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just cause a few have insisted that we now call DE "DEL". That doesn't mean we have to abide by it. Can't order people around if they don't like it :/ On topic it doesn't really matter for me since, I hardly if ever refer to DE as a reference point, since I mainly lurk in the fan zone/off topic area. General discussion gives me cancer nowadays with all the complaints/pointless hype threads. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zareek Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm never going to call them Del, unless they demand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Bobtm0 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) I'll stick with DE, as opposed to swapping to DEL, for the reasons as to be listed below. As is said in letter form, the former of the pair is a bit more hard hitting as it ends in a vowel as opposed to a consonant. The letter L, when in its lowercase form, can be misconstrued at times with an uppercase I, which could lead to countless issues and unnecessary confusion amongst the playerbase at large. In a race, the guy in second is in a better position than the guy in third, despite my personal favorite number being three. Thusly, despite what numerical values as measured in increment may otherwise say, 2 > 3. When said aloud in word form, as opposed to individual letters, the tried and true standard is reduced to a single syllable, while the new age attempted trend is also one syllable, it came afterwards. Thusly, 1 > 1. I'm quite lazy, so typing a third letter is far too much of a hassle. As a man who enjoys keeping things simple and succinct, the prior listed acronym is more appropriate to my liking. As it was the first, DE is technically number one, and a golf, a hole in one is a good thing. Whole and hole sound the same, and DE is a whole company, thusly it simply fits this logic better. Insert pointless reason here. Considering that the anniversary weapon utilized "Dex" which has DE in it, changing to DEL would thusly ruin the pattern. So the Dex Furis would need to be renamed the Delx furis, which just sounds a tad funky by comparison. Edit; Grunge tried to kill the Metal, but the Metal will live on. Since grunge is longer than Metal, and DEL is longer than DE, DE will live on. I can't come up with anything else dumb to say in regards to this, so I'll go to bed now. And when I wake up, Lex Prime time baby! ...... wait a tic, Lex Prime starts with an L, and has both an e and an x within it...., and Dex has an x... Sooooooo I got nothin'.

UncommonUnicorn Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's DE. We don't call Valve "Valve Co." or Microsoft "MSC." Nah, Microsoft would be M$©. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trowicia Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's DE. Always was, always will be for me. Sure, they're Digital Extremes Ltd. now but I'm not about to break my habit of calling them DE just to add L to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirka Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I thought as much, we call them what we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0xi0us Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Pfft.. I will use that when I want to drop the old adage of Ctrl + Alt + (and in this case) DEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybernetix Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Until the Dex Furis is changed to the DexL Furis I refuse to call them anything other than DE/Digital Extremes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LascarCapable Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I don't see why people have to force someone to say "DEL" instead of "DE", that's just stupid. People who are used to say DE can say DE. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azawarau Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) We should all call them Deli and expect them to sell sandwiches Edited June 28, 2014 by Azawarau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beas7ie Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Depends on what joke I try to make using their name. Well with DE you can only use ED While with DEL you can use LED, EDL, ELD, DLE, so many options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshQuake Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I came here expecting a thread about choosing between supporting DE or Deleting the game. To answer, DE is eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
