Here's a suggestion, call it by what Infogames calls it. Play the World could be PoW, PW, CivPoW, CPW, hell, it could be PWXP or XPPW, if you all feel the need to continue being jackasses.

Did you forget to take you lithium?

XP isn't an abbreviation for Windows either. That particular version is called Windows XP. Not XP.

The hell it isn't. Visit any other forum on Apolyton or the rest of the internet.

Why aren't you B!itching about the ME threads then?

That should be used ONLY for Windows ME, by your reasoning.

What's so wrong about my suggestion? You all didn't think of it first?

I have really wanted to, but they're too few and far between, not mucking up half a forum page. They're also about more serious topics, and Windows ME sucks and wasn't an across the board name change like XP for Windows and Office. Also, ME doesn't conjure up thoughts of Windows like XP does. I can walk into a room and ME sucks, and they won't know what I'm talking about, but the opposite is true for XP.

Why expend so much of your limited mental capacity fretting so much about a silly abbreviation? Shouldn't you be using those brain cells to remember breathing in and out regularly?

Could this pointless spamfest of a thread please be closed?

[Grrr]

Pollgate.

[Eroberer]

Is it a spamfest because you're wrong about your choice of words, ixnay?

I'm serious here folks. Using XP makes you look stupid, regardless of what you think of me.

I think this is the most pathetic thread I have ever seen.

Complaining about using XP makes you look petty and even more stupid.

Good one ASAP

Good to see you can tolerate some things, like my remark.

How about applying that power to tolerating the use of XP to mean Expansion Pack?
