Stupid forum lingo that should just die out already

What fancy, high-falootin' school y'all talkin' about? It's basic grammar that we all should have learned in primary grades.

Which I failed miserably

I hate these Brit vs American arguments. There are people who make grammatical errors on both sides of the pond (God, I hate that expression). I'm an American married to a Brit. He says and eats things that seem odd to me and I say and eat things that seem odd to him. I was moving to London when I met him and he says he'd never go back, so here we are. Tons of Brits over here and tons of Americans over there. Variety is the spice of life. Over-generalizations don't work in anyone's favor.

your being way to sensitive. It was clearly a friendly jab.

And i have to say it is Herbs not Erbs. They got that on us. There is a damn H in front of it.

Pixel pusher

Pixel peeper

Measurebator

Not lingo, but a question, but it's still annoying:

"Is this lens soft?"

Sony has a lot of experience in prosumer electronics and gaming.
I see a Playstation camera coming. WiFi, Bluetooth, 3D-sound with the option of buying all the stuff you ever dreamed off with PayPal and completely skipping the boring and disappointing part of taking photos...going out and coming back with your catch.
Instead, you can capture faultless stuff from the Net and (to a price) get to present it as youur own.

That'll be heaven: Just buying and buying and talking pixels!

They already came out with the PlayStation EyeToy camera, an add-on accessory.

Isn't that a bit of an over-generalization?

I just wonder if it is sharp...

PWN3D.

now it is QWNED! one letter above PWNED!

beside that is for gamers mainly OMFG! a gamers prayer!

As for spelling, dont forget, not everyone's first language is english, and not everyone likes to use FireFox (which has more then enough spelling mistakes), some people dont care about how their language is on a forum, personally i could care less if i make a mistakes, if i catch it i will fix it, otherwise life goes on.

Mike is correct! It's not a Brit vs. Yank argument.

Besides, Mum, being married to a Brit you should appreciate such things.

As for Mike, what can I say.... He admits to having the DTs. Six times yet!

I only admit to hunting with a 20D.

In a land where we are overrun with Fairies, what's wrong with a little mythology to keep things interesting.
We can talk gear and specs all day long and bore each other to tears, but damn it some things are just beyond measurbation.. (what about that term? or Pixel peeping? )
Let life have some mystery,. for Odin's sake, the 200mm f/1.8 IS magic, when I reach for it, I feel just like I'm Thor reaching for Mjolner,.. it's not the biggest weapon on the battle field, but it has Magic powers that puts it ahead of an entire phalanx of 70-200mm zooms.

As for the "Holy Trinity" more mythology, and frankly there should be NO question what lenses this refers to. (35mm, 85mm 135mm L primes )
The term was coined here on POTN and if in it's migration elsewhere to less sensible forums people have lost touch with who the real Gods are, they can turn to our own EF Lens FAQ for guidance and a reminder,. this "bible" contains documentation including the very thread where the term was coined.

I'm not a religious man by any stretch, but I am a spiritual one, and damn it as scientific as my left brain is, when I was in Africa a saw more than just flora and fauna, more than families, species and order,. no, it was more than that, I saw GOD.

So pack up your rulers and focus charts, trash your MTF charts and look at the images instead and if you can;t feel any magic there,. well that's a real shame. I do and that's what keeps me coming back.

Amen brother

I subscribed to this thread and never looked back!
