Why wouldn't you pronounce meme like that? It seems to be the only listed pronunciation in Webster's.

Why does what the the creator says matter? We don't go dig up the first person who said any other word and ask them how to pronounce it. Have you heard how they say "lieutenant" in the UK? They think there is a "f" in there somewhere. If we have to pronounce things the way the creators of the words pronounced it, then…

Although, kind of random coincidence, I just happened to stumble on this language in the DMCA:

Lots of my friends are too, and I borrow books from them sometimes, but I usually buy books new. It never really crossed my mind to buy used books, honestly—seems kind of strange in retrospect.

I think I remember HNMs? I never really got that far (I gave up on FFXI with my Dragoon in the mid-50s, because it was so tedious for me to find groups and few people wanted Dragoons), but I heard about it from friends of mine.

Do they still have people from different parts of the world playing on the same server? I know that annoyed some people, but I always thought it was sort of neat. I'm out of MMOs in general, but I do have some sort of masochistic nostalgia for my FFXI days.

You probably are better off in the long run. Arguing about it will just make you feel angry and annoyed, and it's obviously a mistake that lots of other people made.

Your post comes across a bit condescending—I apologize if I'm reading too much into it, but I'm just offering ideas, I'm not looking for an argument.

That's probably true—I haven't bought many used books (aside from textbooks, which are often in terrible shape) so I can't vouch for an average condition. I still think…

It's pretty similar, but the difference is a used book is somewhat lower quality, so there is a natural incentive to buy new. A used book might be dog-eared, it might have marks in it, and it isn't all crisp and new-looking like a new book. Unless someone scratches the disc and ruins the game completely, the only…

You can still play it off—just pretend like it was actually really meta-sarcastic. You were sarcastically pretending to not get the sarcasm to make a social commentary on how people never understand sarcasm on the internet. Then you can make fun of everyone else for not getting your sarcasm!

I haven't paid attention to every console reveal, but generally the Internet attracts complaining. I don't want to believe that gamers are especially prone to this...but it may be true. Gamers did vote EA as the worst company in the country...

I understand most of those, but why don't they want you to use Xbox One in the possessive? From a style point of view, isn't it usually better to say something like "the Xbox One's specs" rather than something like "the specs for the Xbox One"?

The writer can make whoever they want live. Not all military dogs die; I actually just watched a documentary on them recently and sometimes they end up getting adopted by their handlers. Just because they can include something sad doesn't mean they should. It would be predictable and manipulative...

I'd guess that's probably Sony's smooth move. They're probably thinking they'll capitalize on Microsoft's current bad press.

The way people obsess over abbreviations is crazy to me. Just say "xbox" or "one," depending on which is less ambiguous at the time.

It's manipulative though; it's pulling on your heartstrings just to show that you can do it, and that's lame.

Instead of feeding all the trolls up above, I'm going to say bravo to you on being one of the few commenters to actually take a level-headed response to this and wait until we actually know what it is.

Yeah it's pretty bad. On every platform I've used, the way I find new apps is not by going to the app store, but going to Google for suggestions. That really shouldn't happen...

I'd pick the Prism One, because Prism is a cooler name than Zone. Not that that undercuts your argument, but prisms are pretty things that bend light, while zones are just places.

Hey now. Calm down. That dog was part of my squad!
