    Dude, how i hate that people... especially when their are arguing in the readyroom about "Skul" meaning "Schaedel" (german word for "Skull") or talking about "Gorg" (and they speak it as "Gork").
    Ok, this is a little nitty picky, but for me this just shows that those players do not read manuals, forums or readmes but only Scorebords <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh and yesterday is was arguing with some other player why the 3rd Lerk weapon is called "umbra".
    He said that it was obvious... "it shileds you from the bullets like an unbra shields you from the raindrops".
    I asked him if he had to learn latin in school... he said yes but didn't get the point.

    (for those hwo didn't know: umbra is the latin word for "shadow")

    But the number one all time results-in-a-stab-into-the-face-and-a-kick-into-the-groin-expression is: "Turrents" !!

    I pretty much always call gorges fatties, it just makes sense. They're fat, and it opens up all sorts of opportunities for whimsical jovility (often based around Bad Manner's timeless 'lip up fatty') <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I HATE it when people call gorges 'gorg's (no e) and skulks 'sulks' or 'skulls'.

    I remember one time when this guy I had never seen before, who needed heal spraying, walked up to a gorge and started singing 'sexual healing' over the voice-comm, (Roob was the gorge IIRC) which pretty much made me LOL for about 1/2 hour.

    I don't care what language the people that I am playing with are speaking just as long as communication is still possible. The only bad experiences that I have had is a commander who was speaking german over the voice comm and was clearly was getting very angry when we weren't doing what he wanted. (I don't speak German, but I can tell when spit is flying out of someone's mouth from exasperation clearly enough...)

    No insults meant...

    I sort of attribute this to bad translation, but sometimes on German servers I am called "poor", as in "<i>You are so poor</i>". I didn't take it too personally until one time when I was one Karhaa versus 2 German rines and I was owning them. I made it clear that I was American, and they said that I should leave since it is a German server, and how "poor" I was. It is always a barrel full of laughs .
