Sledge Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Power cells. NOT batteries. God, I hate n00bs who call lasergun power cells "batteries!" Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 its ok if you are a n00b, but not if you are a pro. Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 For the record, "power cells" IS an accepted term for batteries. Discuss. Google definition of "Power Cell" Google am correct. All hail the mighty Google. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 NO! It cannot be used because I say so. If someone said battery instead of power cell, no one would know what they meant, the world would go spinning off it's axis, and Hear'Say would reform. Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 To me, Winged Sheep of Stupor! Rend the infidel helpless with hours of Terry and June until he beggeth for mercy at the feet of Myleen and the other ones whose names I can't remember right now, including (yeah and verily!) the one like unto Shrek himself. Edit: don't worry kids, Hear'Say cannot reform now that one of them's married to Darren Day. It's the law. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Someone married Darren Day? Was it that black guy who looked gay? (Proud to say I can't remember the names of the band members. I think one was called Suzanne, but I only remember that because she was in one of those leaked celeb sex tapes.)

Sale Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 The point that "everybody knows what it means" isn't valid. How about if I spelled your nick "Slegde" all the time? Surely everybody knows who I mean and the world doesn't come to an end if I spell it that way. And you can't say it's wrong, because Slegde has now a double meaning and it's my slang version of your nick. Soon this idea will spread and everyone will call you Slegde, and it will be a perfectly acceptable way to spell your nick. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
Psaldorn Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Er, the fullstop is inside the speechmarks because that's the correct way to do it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://www.betterwritingskills.com/article...ation-marks.txt http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/p.html "Well, in US English, the full stop goes inside the closing quotation mark in this sentence. In British English, it is placed outside." - The full stop signifies the end of the sentence that the quoted word was in - unless you were quoting the word from the end of a sentence? In which case it would be "magazine.". Unless you are fond of Americanizations.. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Sale: so, as well as being pedantic, you now can't spell? Psaldorn: Who is Tim North? Why should I accept what he says as correct above the various people who taught me English for my school life, and every book I've ever read? Link to post Share on other sites

Psaldorn Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I'm willing to be proved wrong, those were just the most relevent Google-Proofs I found - why should I believe you when it goes against everything I was taught up to and half-including an English A-level? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mar..._considerations Isn't clearly defined enough for me at this late hour.. time for bed.

Shao14 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I think we are getting away from the original topics here, aren't we? Whatever your view is, as long as you don't insult the opposite, we can co-exist, can't we? Incidently, I suspended a guy insulting some member over this issue in another thread the other day. Seems he missed this thread. Anyways, CLOSED! Link to post Share on other sites
