I was told that they don't increase signature radius. Freaking lies!
My 42K eHP Cane has 1440m sig My 41K eHP Cyclone has 297m sig
While comparing shield and armour tanking, trying to get info from corp about our main tanking for logistics. All while being inspired by the incursion Drake, I made this (sorry, yes it is in MS Paint)

So, what's your point?
Other than you can't comprehend what the module descriptions say?
1440m signature radius? Both the Hurricane and Cyclone have a base signature radius of 240m.

Sorry, this was more about the image. I was just telling you how I came up with it.
As to the Hurricane vs Cyclone ... I am embarrassed to admit that I forgot the Hurricane has a MWD and 240m sig when it is off.

I have an axe to grind on this one.
'English' is the language spoken by the English, in England. Americans should not logically claim they speak 'English'. As soon as there are any significant differences between the languages, they are not speaking the 'English' that is defined above, so it should be called something else, even if it's highly compatible (as are some other languages in the world, that are very similar, but named differently).
If an American wants to I'm not using 'English' properly, he hasn't got a leg to stand on. If he wants to say that American (as a language) differs, feel free!

It certainly does in some cases, such as using fall rather than autumn, but generally the trend has been away from traditional spellings to simpler versions (often by ignoring irregular verb use). Whilst seemingly innocuous in itself, it can lead to incorrect usage of words because the subtle difference in their meanings is lost (eg. learned vs learnt).
I tend to get annoyed about the American obsession with turning nouns in to verbs, it just seems lazy. I would much rather put my books "in alphabetical order" rather than "alphbetize" them. People should "disembark" from aeroplanes, rather than be "deplaned". People sometimes have to go to hospital, but are hardly ever actually turned in to hospitals as implied by "hospitalized".
Generally, however, I am happy to cope with Americans inability to use English well; however, I do get somewhat irate when they then berate people who do not fall in line with their terrible usage. Also, I love hearing Americans talking about ***** packs and not knowing why it is so funny. :)

To make it clear. Nowadays we have American English and British English. Both are English because both are made out of Original English (just English). As time passed by, to distinguish differences in dialects, English was split into American English and British English. British English is often referred to as Standard English. American English is just what red-necks managed to learn over the hundreds of years

Well, not exactly. British English is the origin "version". In the Americas the settlers came into contact with the Spanish, Danes, French and so on, who all added a little something into the local language. You can practically map out the old dialect map of the US according to which country settled down where.
So, British English is more pure. The US English mostly a mixed pot of English and influences from other European languages.

You know back oh never mind how many years now. British friend of mine and I sat down one night discussing this very subject, after having several pints.
So the short of it we found a unabridged dictionary and found every last word in it. American and British same book same language English.
Probably why people trying to learn this language get such a headache.
And as far as the usage, well US and British are not strangers to accents, and word usage that differs from region to region.
My friend grew up in Suffolk County and even though he lost the accent over the years he could put it back when he wanted too. And let me tell you, we both had a laugh as normally he sounded like he was from London which funny enough after so much time in England so did I. It was not uncommon for people to think I was British (long gone now), great for watching the American tourists that you can here a mile away and have a laugh. Loud American is very accurate and that is coming from one of your own.
The point is everyone can get over themselves as we aren't that different.

To be honest, English has always been pretty much a grab-bag of whatever words from other places we found handy. Whole bunches of Anglo-saxon, Norman french, bits and bats of latin, a smattering of danish and norwegian, and words from a thousand and one places that have just been assimilated (in a lot of cases over the last few hundred years or so, from cultures we "invited" to be part of our empire.)
Spelling's only really become important since literacy became the rule, rather the exception.
Linguistic purity? Whats that again?

What cracks me up is that the improper usage of words, given enough time, become legitimate dictionary entries.
For example "irregardless", which is the incorrect usage of "regardless" has been added to the American Oxford with the same definition as regardless.
Languages evolve, but its kinda funny how it happens sometimes.

seeing as the prefix 'ir-' essentially meanins "not", shouldn't it mean the opposite of "regardless"...?
granted I stopped taking "formal" (Am.) English/grammar classes once they were no longer required at university (although, I did continue taking "English" classes, since certain literature classes fell under "English" for whatever reason).
