Gromann Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 It's not a matter of semantics, it's a matter of basic vocabulary and anyone who knows as such will find this to be an idiotic mistake. It sounds about as professional as a given lil wayne or niki minaj lyric. If DE thinks ignorant driven vocabulary is acceptable then it's highly unprofessional of them.

You didn't answer my question though, how is this questionable use of a word effectively harming the game? It is an accepted slang that obviously people recognize, otherwise there would be more question threads about it. Yes, there is a word that fits better. How much of an impact though does it really make for them to prioritize fixing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3rman Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) I never implied it needs to be a priority, you asked a question and I gave you a simple answer. It makes DE and the game look as though it's populated and maintained by idiots. It's like someone referring to their cars gas tank as a fueling station. That is a major overreaction and insulting. The reason why they used the term, in their Beta test no less, is because it is a well known word. Have some civility please and respect their side.

Gromann Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's not an overreaction. When people use a term so grossly improperly, is it supposed to make any better of an impression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archade Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 itt: people arguing to be argumentative. Having it say clip instead of magazine is like a typo, its an easy fix, it doesn't have to be some game breaking issue to be fixed, they could probably write a script to go through everything and replace the word clip with the word magazine in a minute. Why not use the proper term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
