No, it should be non-existent, but that's a whole 'nother topic.Edited by Jitterbug on May 7, 2015 10:02PM0 -

✭✭"On" refers to a regular engagement with a persistent kind of game, service, media network or website, etc.
i.e., "My friend on ESO bought me a copy and invited me to join"
...on Facebook
...on Twitter
...on Netflix
"In" is a bit more appropriate when you are talking about a specific activity or character in the game, attempting to launch a program, or enter a server, visit a particular area or when talking about your level of immersion in a game or similar experience.
"I'm fishing in ESO"
"Guide to Crafting in ESO"
"I have two characters in ESO"
"I'm not in ESO yet, still on a loading screen" etc.
"I'm in Chillrend"
"I'm in Photoshop, now what button do I press?"

dietlime✭✭✭✭The one that annoys the *** out of me is definitely that the other team got the sniper. Even in *** TF2, where there is a man, whose class name is Sniper, which is a noun, this g*damned fandom/community/hobbyist culture whatever the F you call it now just refuses to use the word rifle.
The MMO one that just screams "I'm dumb as a butt"; definitely "toon" is character that bad of a word? I mean it's a culture thing, so I don't harp on it.
Edit: damnit I have to be the one to add a definition to toon in Wikipedia.Edited by dietlime on May 7, 2015 10:11PM0 -
Lord_Kreegan✭✭✭✭✭When I retired (not voluntarily), I transitioned to being a writer.
Previously, I was "constrained" to technical writing. You don't want to even guess at how many technical papers I've written... Now (besides finding out that I type like crap, compliments largely of arthritis), I'm writing fiction...
One of the things I've noticed (having lived all over the world) is that the USA culture is so diverse that calling it a "country" and trying to focus in on "its language" is a lost cause...
For instance, I've been married for forty years; my wife is a damn Yankee from New York and I'm a dyed in the wool Southerner from the Southwest; after forty years, we still don't communicate worth a damn... which is probably a good thing or we would have been divorced a long time ago... If you don't understand (contextually) what the other person is complaining about, you can't get upset with them. I swear, I understand my cat better than my wife...
Why? Because contextual differences reign supreme... Use of prepositions, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs -- not to mention verb tense -- is dramatically different from one part of the country to the next. For instance, I spent fifteen years in Silicon Valley... I still can't comprehend what anyone from Oakland is saying...
We may be one country, but we aren't one culture...
Don't expect people to talk, write --- and much more importantly --- think the same way.
It's kind of like ZOS' perspective on this game and our perspective as players... it's not the same.Edited by Lord_Kreegan on May 7, 2015 10:11PM1 -

Just to be clear: The use of "on" does not annoy me.0 -
dietlime✭✭✭✭WHooooooah you guys took this thread too seriously.
Never argue semantics. Both interpretations have merit. You're on a computer, in a virtual world.1 -
