Yeah, I could understand blocking it from memory. Creamy is a description for peanut butter, is there such a thing as chunky bokeh? :lol:

Heh! There is with some shots I've gotten:)!

One that irks me - photoshop when used as a verb. I dont have a problem with folk saying they use PS, but to use it as a verb really irritates me.

It would be equivalent to "I just canoned it" when taking a photo or " I just chevied my way over" when relating to driving!

I Zeroxed it.

A little off topic, the one usage I HATE THE MOST is "these ones".

Maybe it's equivalent to "I hammered it". :p

Heh! Yeah, it took me a long time to get used to it, but I'm pretty sure "photoshopped" has become part of the language...

Just fyi, google it...:):)!

Apparently it irks Adobe too. I read a while back that they had a press release asking media outlets to quit using it as a verb. An uphill battle, no doubt about that.

Yes, I do not hesitate to call people out on this whenever they say it.

Also, please refer to this graph:

QUOTED IMAGE

:lol:

I like your graph - people outside of the US keep correcting me - on US soil... ;)

(it's simply a local saying, I guess).

Back on track:

"I take much better pictures"

Google doesn't like their name being used as a verb, either.

I need to google some photoshopped pics and make some xeroxes, but maybe later as I have a cold and need to find some kleenexes first then have a coke.

Why can't my XXD camera take good pictures like my P&S?
