Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 04:04:00 - [1] Do you pronounce it as an acronym, "hack", or not, "H-A-C"? And furthermore, does ANYBODY ever refer to them as HAS or Heavy Assault Ships? Same thing with AFs, does anybody refer to them as AS or Assault Frigates? ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 04:15:00 - [2] Originally by: Kage Getsu "Heavy Assault"? The real name for them doesn't have "Cruiser" in it anywhere. Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari And furthermore, does ANYBODY ever refer to them as HAS or Heavy Assault Ships? Originally by: Sentani we need a fonetic list of all the annoying little word that allways start threads... I agree.

Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:00:00 - [4] Edited by: Nikolai Nuvolari on 02/01/2006 05:04:22 The difference between an acronym and an initialism EDIT: Damn, Wrayeth, you just barely beat me to it in my own thread. EDIT 2: In case you don't feel like reading the link, the bottom line is: Pronounce each letter in an initialism. Pronounce an acronym as a word. ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:07:00 - [5] Originally by: Nyphur But in my defence, hack sounds stupid :p. On THAT point, I agree with you. Convenient, maybe so, but stupid sounding, yes. ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:10:00 - [6] Originally by: Justus Imperius PDU - Pedu ( Ped-ooooooo ) Nah, that one's got to be an initialism. P-D-U. But seriously, how did we all start calling them PDU's? They're actually Power Diagnostic System, so why not PDS? I mean Heavy Assault Ship is stupid compared to Heavy Assault Cruiser, but Power Diagnostic System isn't any better or worse than Power Diagnostic Unit. Did it used to be Unit instead of System, and I've just forgotten when they changed it? Or was it always this way? ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:12:00 - [7] Originally by: Nyphur So much cooler to say H-A-C. I can imagine an evil overlord saying "SEND IN THE H-A-C!" but "SEND IN TEH HACK" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. H-A-C sounds better, but I find myself saying Assault Cruiser more than anything else. It sounds cooler than either one of those. "Heavy" is a bit redundant because it's extra syllables that don't mean anything if you're saying the whole words, because there's no Assault Cruiser that aren't Heavy. So for me, either H-A-C or Assault Cruiser. ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 08:32:00 - [8] Originally by: Kuolematon Btw try to pronounce my name koo-OH-leh-MAY-tahn Originally by: ManOfHonor I also believe devs may have called them HACs, and that influenced many players... I'm pretty sure they did. Originally by: Marcus Thrawn EYE-ter-on? ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 08:40:00 - [9] Originally by: Kuolematon Whoa .. It's as simply as Kuo-le-ma-ton Well I was trying to type that out with a completely phonetic spelling. Typing that way isn't phonetically clear, for example "le" could be pronounced "lee", "lay", "leh", etc etc. Also the uppercase/lowercase shows emphasis. ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.03 08:30:00 - [10] Originally by: News Could be any germanic language bar English. Undoubtedly has something to do with English being the only Germanic language heavily influenced by French. I always thought of our language as a beautiful girl, and French as the creepy man in the shadows who rped her. Originally by:* Saeris Tal'Urduar Deimos Is it "Dee-eye-mos" ??? Or is it "Dee-mos" ??? Personally I say it the first way. It's DAY-mos. ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw

Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.03 11:22:00 - [13] Originally by: Nee'kita Frist I dare someone to post a whole thread in phonetic spelling :) Okay, now I'm paying attention. I accept your challenge.
