| 308390 | 2004-12-28 21:30:00 | Hi Fellow F1ers, I feel that some of the language in Press F1 is confusing. I.e. someone asked what a RSS feed was, and another said the ads were suxxors or something like that. I know what an RSS feed is, but hell, I don't know what suxxors means. Hope the moderators or the technical team can make a FAQ about the language of press F1 which can be updated as time goes by to add new words and language. Kinda like a dictionary. This would be beneficial to those who are new to computers or this forum. |

Chill, I did a google search for "suxx0rs" and it comes up with a list of other forums complaining about their problems. Tried "suxx0rs definition", and did not make things any easier. A one stop shop with all the common words and their definitions used in Press F1 could be put here for ease of use. |

Anyway as a "Research Scientist" it should have been fairly obvious to you that "suxx0rs" is basically the same as sux. www.urbandictionary.com Even if this forum did have a glossary (aside Google) I hardly think that suxx0r would warrant being in it. |

| 308396 | 2004-12-28 22:14:00 | I think you will find the meaning here (www.urbandictionary.com) it makes it harder when they cant even use their gibberish correctly.:groan: I dont mind it so much as long as plenty of others are using it, it is not to bad to pick up. :stare: |

| 308397 | 2004-12-28 22:44:00 | Ninja, Who said I was a research scientist in language? And I believe any word used every now and then warrants being in the glossary. Suxx0rs was used several times over the last few months, so that warrants being a frequently used word suitable for a Press F1 Glossary. I don't mind people using this language too unless it can be explained what it means, but don't over do it. |
