If you really want to see words (and I use the term loosely) that should never be used, check out any U.S. based forum for any Korean F2P MMO.

It'll make your eyes bleed.

German. The whole language should be shut down. Seeing cans in space with words 16 letters long is painful. Anocondas aren't that long for crying out loud. Noone should have to say words like that. Trying to pronounce just one of their elongated words uses up the entire gate cloak timer. Please donate isk to me so I can start a humanitarian non profit corp dedicated to helping our German players find another language. Seriously, those people must take an hour to have a 10 minute conversation.

Quest - Missions could be called 'quests' however quests are generally used by the fantasy game inclined. Mission is a better word for the sci-fi fantasy. You ever hear the word quest in Star Wars? The game Space Quest doesn't count.

Crafting - Crafting invokes images of using a whittling knife to create a figurine from an olive branch or something. Crafting is something that generally involves animal skins and primitive methods of creation. Eve is far from primitive and has factories and therefore industry is the correct word.


Whether you like using those words or not, the fact remains that your toon goes out on quests with guildies, and crafts goods for sale at auction.

Deal.

YOLO is one of those expressions that stupid people use to justify their stupidity when they end up breaking their necks or some other idiotic outcome occurs that they never anticipated (like accidentally doing the full monty in front of their own mothers, or something).

It's carpe diem for the illiterate masses.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

No, I knew that. Just sticking a shiv into a much-overused ephemeral-ism.

On the other hand, I now have the image of Robin Williams standing atop a school desk, declaiming "YOLO!" stuck in my head.
Shocked
Yeah. I've got mental issues.

Boat - It is a spaceship, not a spaceboat.

Hmm...well...yes...supposedly...oh, well...Dive! Dive!


the term ship refers to a hull that has a main mast.

real world:

a carrier is a ship
a destroyer is a ship
a submarine is a boat (because it has no main mast)

IN EVE: as none of the ships in EVE have a definitive mast, they are technically space-boats.

the zypher and tempest and probe are the exceptions here as:
the tempest has the sail towers
the probe has a sail fin.

the zypher has a solar sail.

on the front of words that pezz me off.

Damn. Someone who knows nautical traditions. Cool Plus one internets!

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
