No, everyone doesn't know that. There's a whole great shedload of people out there who know nothing about games consoles and the games played on them, and have no wish to know. I'm a proud member of that group!

[quote="Bryan Moore]"... ... ... ... ..." - Hellen Keller [/quote]

I believe the quote is "Water, water"
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I'm not sure where you got that from. Even if it was suggesting a group as idiots it would be refering to people who can't keep up with modern terminology.

You used disdainful language to refer to someone who didn't - not COULDN'T - use the same vernacular as you.

I wonder if he thinks people in the UK are out of touch because they call gasoline "petrol".

Why would they call gas "petrol"? What is a petrol anyway?

Petrolium is the original/classic term for gasoline/oil. The short form is petrol.

Wow. I've never been in the UK in my life, but I know what petrol is. In fact, the word "petroleum is in common usage in teh US, and it's no great leap to put it together, especially since the word "petrol" is invariably used around cars.

Oh...I didn't make the connection there. I've heard Petrolium, but I haven't heard it shortened to just 'petrol'. On another cultural difference note, while they're originally called bubblers many people erronously call them 'water fountains' or 'drinking fountains' instead. I always found 'water fountain' amusing since that's what you find in the middle of a park. :roll: And to be clear the reason why bubbler is the correct term is because they were first manufactured by Kohler, a company founded in Wisconsin(although they do now have factories throughout the US), and are the ones who coined the term bubbler.
