You shouldn't have left IRC.
Dec 19 00:10:20 <PhilCote> Guys, let's start to use SHVC instead of Snes.
Dec 19 00:10:23 <Fabian_> I know nothing about game boy
Dec 19 00:10:25 <PhilCote> :P
Dec 19 00:10:25 <Fabian_> or dmg or whatever
Dec 19 00:10:31 <Fabian_> I have no interest in that discussion
Dec 19 00:10:38 <moozooh> right, Phil
Dec 19 00:10:43 <moozooh> we shouldn't be afraid of change.
Dec 19 00:10:51 <insane_coder> PhilCote, if I ever make my own emulator, perhaps I'll call it NSHVC
Dec 19 00:10:57 <moozooh> so yeah, i'm opening my SHVC9x right now...
Enough of this, if you check the logs you'll see I responded to everything, anything you see missing is a deficiency in yourself for not finding it.

Someone should compile this into a mega-flash movie with Phoenix Wright-themed OBJECTION!s and HOLD IT!s.
In other news, JXQ has a point.

To point out I did respond to it in the forums but in a round about manner. If you glean my posts carefully you'll notice I made references to cases where something may have more than one official abbreviation and acronym.
Good night everyone.

1) Wow, what a lame-ass "response". Way to miss the point that SNES has a different abbreviation that should be used according to your principles.
2) Funny how the things you have no good response to are not put on the forums.
3) See Xkeeper's edit.
4) Finished. Discussing things with you is hopeless. Feel free to come up with a witty retort on IRC that I'll never see.
<Swordless> Go hug a tree, you vegetarian (I bet you really are one)
wow. Now Zurreco has found a way to turn Nach into a convenient instrument to increase his post counter.
Also, the priests of Baal were mostly slain for the exp. Some people slay them to be able to hurt baal himself, because he ocasionally drops shiny stuff.

It's not about post count: Nach wasn't man enough to finish the debate, so I gave him a few chances to redeem himself.
Also:
<Fabian_> JXQ is stupid lol
<Fabian_> and he'll never see this hahahaha
sure, but only in cases where I'm actually interested in arguing.
Now don't go offtopic, this thread is about bashing Nach, not about bashing me. Thank you.
Just to let everyone know, the official abbreviations for Super NES Control Deck aren't SHVC, SFC, or SNES. The only options are clearly ABS and EXT.
Fabian, when is the party and how do I get to your place?
In the matter of what constitutes clear communication, what the majority of people say becomes what is correct. This is because "clarity" in the context of communication, is defined by what the most people will understand.
This would indicate that, in the matter of promoting the "DMG" acronym for gameboy games over the "GB" acronym, you are incorrect if your goal is clear communication. This is because the majority of users on this forum understand "GB" as meaning GameBoy, but do not understand "DMG" as meaning GameBoy.
Furthermore, even if you are arguing that people should be made aware that Nintendo's technical aspects referred to the Game Boy system as DMG, so that DMG becomes the clear communication of Game Boy; because DMG is actually an acronym meaning "Dot Matrix Game" the term would become ambiguous if/when Game Gear or Neo Geo Pocket become TASable systems.
I would advise you to reexamine your position.
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

Nach:
I don't want to insult you ... yet. (That's for later in the post.) But get off your high horse! No one gives a junk-diddly-unk, and your estimation of your own linguistic aptitude is a bit o-o-overinflated. Your speech is fairly imprecise. You use words slightly incorrectly all the time and don't seem to know it. Here is a concrete example:
Precisely interpreted, your sentence is nonsensical. What you mean to say is "I believe in upholding speech to the highest standards of precision possible." Do you perceive the difference?
It seems you also failed to notice that no one (here) uses CGB, AGB, or DOL to refer to their respective consoles. Why do you give special status to DMG? Because you are right and everyone else is wrong?
Sorry if I seem confrontational. I've been rereading Dawkins lately. Anyway, without further ado, let's proceed to
xebra's upholdingly entertained list of Nach's egregiously piddly-shit offenses to the impossible standardness of his ears's stringency:
Finding the errors in the above quotes is left as an exercise for the reader.
Domo arigato, Mr. Illiterato.
That's right, it's SNS. What was your point again?
This is absolutely not the case, as none fo these other systems ahve ever been called DMG. Please provide any one internet-accessable source over 1 year of age which uses DMG to mean any handheld gaming system other than Gameboy.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster.
