Aeaus Tharsis Security	Posted - 2006.09.26 03:06:00 - [61] Yay I'm in a necro thread. I'll be honest here, I spell "turret," but I pronounce the word "turrent." No clue where that's from though. Join Tharsis! - Get Sexy Sigs

Imode Band of Builders Inc. Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.09.26 04:24:00 - [63] Reminds me of Chris Elliot's show Get a Life where he entered a spelling bee and was trying to spell the word 'PANTS' with a silent K. ____________________________ Sig removed, lacks Eve-related content - Cortes
Richard Masterson Occassus Republica Process of Elimination	Posted - 2006.09.26 04:50:00 - [64] My personal Pet Peeve is when people refer to weapon magazine capacity as "Clip size." CCP does it too, which makes me wonder. . . FYI, a clip would be a piece of material that CLIPS the rounds together. I.E. M1 Garand ammo comes in 8 rd. clips, or a "stripper clip" holds 5-10 rounds which allows rounds to be quickly loaded into a magazine.
Deepeh Northern Intelligence SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.26 05:42:00 - [65] My MISSLE SCORPIAN beats GILENTE FRACTION ships with TURRENTS. Never drive any faster than your guardian angel can fly.
CFC Fodder Gallente Kydance Radiant Industries Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.09.26 05:46:00 - [66] Edited by: CFC Fodder on 26/09/2006 05:47:31 Originally by: Ithildin Originally by: Dopefish Boni ....its bonuses ffs. In english, and especially american english, you just append -es to the plural form of words ending with us. However, if you want to be a bit more old-fashioned and use a plural form closer to the word's origin, the plural form is actually -i with the -us removed. But... latin isn't my strong point, so... Latin based words ending in -us never get the -us dropped when describing more than one of the particular item. Now Greek based words, on the other hand, such as fungus, do drop the us, in preference of the -i, when describing more than one. If you're unsure, go to www.thefreedictionary.com or www.m-w.com (being Merriam-Webster, the last one), and either one or both shall show you the correct speeling for the plural form of a word. Originally by: Arian Snow "GTC for ISK" promotes farming of isk to pay for your character those isk underminde the economy and creates inflation!!! Its like printing money in RL...
Zyrt Amarr	Posted - 2006.09.26 09:28:00 - [67] Originally by: CFC Fodder Latin based words ending in -us never get the -us dropped when describing more than one of the particular item. Amicus - friend Amici - friends And I'm pretty damn sure about that.

If you want to "englicise" the word (is that right ?), the it's bonuses. If you want to use the plural form of the latin word, it's boni. I've studied latin for 8 years, trust me on this.
Hoshi DAB RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.26 11:46:00 - [69] With the first titan now built saying capitol ship might not be so wrong anymore, at least the titans of lore could be considered capitols.
Cleo Ko'rana	Posted - 2006.09.26 16:00:00 - [70] Originally by: TomB they must be getting it from torrent Actually Turrent has been used for years and years. I remember playing with people in Tribes that used to say turrent. I think it's just kids (i.e. ignorant teenagers) who have yet to fully grasp the english language.

Nariana Verex Amarr Terra Nova Technologies	Posted - 2006.09.26 20:35:00 - [75] I don't know if my peve counts or not. :( I just find it annoying when people refer to EVE as 'EvE'. Even some guide writers do it. It drives me bonkers. -------------------------------------------- You will also find that training other race skills will open up a new style of gameplay. You will have fun. Try that. -CCP ---------------------------
Majin82 Caldari Arkhangelos Alliance Naval Intelligence Arkhangelos Command	Posted - 2006.09.26 20:43:00 - [76] Originally by: Tassi Before eve I played an half life mod that was called "Natural Selection", it is the best hl mod ever. In that game you could place Sentry turrets that were shooting automatically at the other fraction, which were aliens. After awhile some stupid people called them "TORRENTS" (the caps is important here) and then everyone yelled on the servers and on the forums "COMMANDA WE NEED MORE TORRENTS!!11 THERE IS A LORK ON THE CLORFF!!!11 OH NOES THEY HAVE ONOS!!" dunno if that helps you OMG, you just brought back so many NS memories for me. Lork on the clorf!!! All your hives r belong to us! ------------------------------------- AANI ARCH
Synapse X Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2006.09.26 21:11:00 - [77] I know how turret is spelled, I know how turret is pronounced, and I hate it when other people write "turrent" but more than once I've caught myself typo'ing it with the 'n' in it. Its like my fingers wanna type that, and I know its not because of "torrent" because I rarely if ever use that word. Some other very common word with "rent" in it might be doing it.
Anarel	Posted - 2006.09.26 21:48:00 - [78] Originally by: Eleis Machuron Originally by: Kai Sheia where do people get the idea theres an N in the word "Turret"? I'm guessing it's two things: 1. people tend to type in bursts approximating morphemes, rather than letter by letter (in the same way that we read by recognizing shapes of words rather than letters. 2. words ending in 'rent' (rent, torrent, current) are more common than 'ret' (um... 'fret'? 'regret'?) so when some people get to the end part of 'turret' they just add the 'n' without thinking. The word is just harder to say. The non-emphasized "net" as a word-ending sound simply doesn't occur anywhere else in common english. People are familiar with the non-emphasized "rent" or "rant" in parent, current, pennant, torrent.
Sal Alo	Posted - 2006.09.27 04:40:00 - [79] There is guys like me that have some trouble writing in english but a very huge amount of problems trying speaking and listening. One error like the one in topic can be silly for you, but I assure that with a language that isn't your natural one, it can be happen
ELECTR0FREAK Eye of God Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.09.27 04:42:00 - [80] Originally by: Don J 'Turrents' used to crop up in planetside so it has a certain amount of history... it annoyed me then too. Also, DEIMOS (as opposed to dIEmos or deMIos).. i dont like the idea of flying something that half the population apparently think is named after an old crap Mazda. In fact, one of the community relations managers for PlanetSide, SmokeJumper, at one point posted for us the first known incidence of this particular mispelling... I can't remember the details but it went way back. Discoverer of the Missile Damage Formula

Taipan Gedscho Taipan Industries	Posted - 2006.09.27 21:31:00 - [82] Originally by: Aeaus Yay I'm in a necro thread. I'll be honest here, I spell "turret," but I pronounce the word "turrent." No clue where that's from though. my english teacher (actually if remember correctly only the british english teacher, not the american one) was pretty strict about it, and told us, the word is actually pronounced "turreNts". but that was like 10 years ago, dunno if such things change that quickly. -- Only you can save MMORPGS - Stop whining today!
Galen Silas Gallente Digital assassins	Posted - 2006.09.28 14:23:00 - [83] how does someone misspell turrets, the N in a typing perspective is all the way on the other side of the keyboard?!

Nikolai Nuvolari Caldari Gilead's Bullet Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.09.30 07:12:00 - [85] Originally by: Galen Silas how does someone misspell turrets, the N in a typing perspective is all the way on the other side of the keyboard?! Interestingly enough, I would understand completely if the standard keyboard layout were DVORAK instead of QWERTY. On DVORAK keyboards, the "N" key is directly below the "R" key and directly to the right of the "T" key...so it would be a perfectly understandable typo. However, I've never met anybody else who uses DVORAK, despite trying to convince various people to try it. --------------------- Originally by: Herko Kerghans Nik = win. Period.

QFFIngT I hate this one so much I wanna rip out the throat of the person that says that on vent/ts. I also cannot stand the turreNts. /me goes off for a ciggarette before he destroys the work computer with rage. There will be no survivors now that i'm around - Xorus pwnt - Immy
