a Vote for the "worst" word used in the RFF in 2006

[FrankS]

I'mSYACATT = I'm sure you are correct about this, too.

 

[oscroft]

I was going to choose "lense" but someone beat me to it (though it's a far less common error here than on eBay).

 

[telenous]

I'm sure you are correct about this, too. Consider it part of the argot of the blogosphere and the creeping digitization of all things, including photography and discourse. :bang:

I am newbee to all that, is all

I like the word " Bokeh"
it is especially nice when the word " creamy" is before it
like in " creamy Bokeh "
all those who worship at the Leica altar , pray that most of their expensive Leica lenses have, you guessed it, Creamy Bokeh.

 

[Nick R.]

u and r instead of "you" and "are".

Also "Minty"

Sounds like a green teletubby.

 

[Topdog1]

"Painting" - as in the way a lens "paints" with light. Sheesh, give me a break will ya? That's SGMABWY.

It's not a photographic word, but I would be inclined to vote for "irregardless." ( or is it "iregardless"? What is the world coming to when one has to spend time contemplating the "correct" spelling of an ungrammatical word?)

Now we're getting into what I thought this thread was about - four letter words! :angel:

Wow - what a cool thought. I wonder if there is a single word that expresses this contradiction?

/Ira

 

[Topdog1]

I know it as boe-kay. That's like "okay" with a "b" in front.

Frank,
In that case, shouldn't we spell it "bouquet" -as in a bouquet of Hyacinths?

Ira

Perhaps "regarded" would make sense from that double-negative.

Oh yes... and the most annoying word... R@RE!!! (especially when followed by the name of a common soviet-made rangefinder....)

Yes, I just didn't want to confuse the situation with a French word.

 

[gareth]

You know, now I think about it, the word I really hate is 'awesome'.

Some words are just destroyed by inappropriate, or simply overuse.

Aaaaaaagh how I hate 'awesome'.

What about 'cool' or 'chill' or am I just showing signs of getting old?

Yes, and you probably paint with film, too.

[Topdog1]

That word actually exists. It's called 'fokeh' and it is pronounced foe-kay (like 'o-kay'). The Japanese rarely use it, as they are more fond of 'bokeh'.

As I said before, now we're getting into the real 4 letter words. I love it. Fokeh you all!

[dazedgonebye]

IMHO
Very few people that refer to their opinion as "humble" think that it is.

 

[Magnus]

Wow yes "awsome" horrible, absolutely appalling word to be read in many photographic fora ....

 

[Topdog1]

Wanga! LOL, er, that's laughing out loud, as in "I'm laughing out loud."

The cameras were made in the Soviet Union; they're Soviet, not former Soviet cameras.

 

[tomtodeath]

Analog or analogue.

Since when were cameras analogue? They are either film or digital, aren't they?

thank APUG for that!
