    I thought that it came from that fellow Smart Bomb?

    I guess I didn't pay enough attention.

    In addition, we can add that there is a second "o" in pherOmone.

    Both turrent and pheremone don't even exist!

    lol, ive become so used to people saying turre<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>N</span>ts that i dont even notice it anymore ... you should try ignoring the n

    lets have some practice:
    turre<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>N</span>ts turre<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>N</span>ts turre<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>N</span>ts turre<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>N</span>ts turre<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>N</span>ts turre<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>N</span>ts

    now: did you read then "n"
    if you did you failed the test, now go take it again!

    People have been saying "turrents" for a long time before NS and it only gets more stupid.

    Also, I have seen people saying onus as the plural of onos, which is completely wrong. I am not sure if it is onos or oni, but it isn't onus.

    I hope that is just due to people typing fast. I don't see that often.

    But if you upgrade to carspace it will protect you from turrents.
  • SnidelySnidely Join Date: 2003-02-04 Member: 13098Members
    I think celery is better than carspace, it lets you get out of there sooner.

    I'm as picky as an English teacher, and when I see "turreNts" I twitch and go into muscle spasms and fall on the ground sobbing. Same with "gernade."

    Yesterday I was playing with a guy who kept going on about going lerk so he could use his umbrella to help us. He was talking on voice comm, too. It sounded kinda funny, actually.

    Not a good idea, because SG is also used for the shotgun. Could make a com curious when you ask for a phase, a tf and 10 shotguns <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
