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

[Topdog1]

I think we should make this thread sticky and required reading for all posters. Obey the stylists or be ridiculed in 2007. 🙂

No, Lense is a (common on the internet) misspelling of lens

It may be starting to become accepted by some dictionaries as a "variant", but that's because so many people have been spelling it wrong.

I think it has to do with being a bit lazy and having to type less. You know - a bit like those who never use the correct capitals. 😉

ok, this one wont win me any prizes but i dislike when i see the abbreviated summicron or summilux...cron - lux etc.
it just seems like people want to sound cool.

 

[peterc]

cron - lux etc.

Guess it's better than sum and sux.

capitals, like sharpness, is a bourgeous concept...🙂

 

[Topdog1]

Does "lense" rhyme with "bokeh"? Or maybe it should be spelled "lenseh".

Time to combine?

GAS induced by the creamy bokeh of a minty 'cron (despite cleaning marks) lense on an M8 - what amazing sharpness from non-analogue photography!

You guys are making me feel bad now. I was going to start a thread called:

"Bokeh Back Mountain Lens Poll and some of that lense Bamooka every one is talking about, a lense test of a mint *-bay M8 and 40mm filters on 50mm lens and how I got GAS, but then survived thanks to some magenta shampoo that I got from my dentist."

But now I am not going to post it.

"Creamy"

It makes me wretch every time I hear the tonal range of an image described as being "creamy."

"Bokeh" is a strong second.

"Ooh -- the bokeh of that lens is soooo creamy!"

GAAAAK!!!

I better stop saying "creamy", even it is cream cheese!

If "mintish" is totally disgusting, what about "mint-minus-ish"?

 

[FrankS]

Read once on PNet: mint+

 

[peterc]

Mmmm extra minty!

Don't forget capital letters are also bourgeois. Capitals of the world are full of them too 😀

Frank: In the USA I often hear the term: I am 110% sure. Now that's a mint+ for you.
