I'm one of those people that get irked when people have errors in their writing. Like confusing "you're"/"your" or when people put "should of" instead of "should've" and etc.

Yeah, I'm a spelling fascist. Being on Internet forums probably aren't good places for me to be on if I took it any more seriously.

But I'm disappointed in those of you here, mostly fellow Nintendo fans, who forget the space in Nintendo's most successful line of products. The Game Boy. Not the GameBoy, not the Gameboy. Game Boy. Two words. Game Boy Advance is three words, not two. Ever since the first Game Boy it's been two words. Every time you start up your Game Boy or Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance or their variants that can play Game Boy games, it clearly reminds you what it is.

*dling!* *"GAME BOY" appears on screen*

See that? Two words.

Someone once adamantly refused this to me. He said because it was one thing, it should properly be one word. He was pretty insistent on that point. Yet I'm pretty sure no one ever considered calling the NES the "Nintendoentertainmentsystem". It'd be confusing to play Nintendogs on your "Nintendods". He probably enjoys "videogames" while the rest of us enjoy "video games".

Seriously, people. Quit messing up Nintendo's handheld line's name.

Jon's right. I used to think it was called GameBoy until Bloodworth opened my eyes about six months ago.

It's Game Boy unless your name is ThePerm, in which case it's Ga mBe oy.

While we're on spelling, the Gamecube is 1 word. Go look for yourself.

vudu · « **Reply #6 on:** January 27, 2006, 11:39:20 AM »

It also has a capital G, but why nitpick?

for something I spell checked. It took an additional 20 minutes to get rid of all the extra spaces my keyboard adds

But it's not nearly as much fun pointing out your well thought-out posts as it is pointing out your typos.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 27, 2006, 03:48:02 PM »

The term Game Boy is both sexist and kiddie at the same time

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2006, 03:58:39 PM »

Is it StarFox, or Star Fox, this is a mystery.

Don't feel bad, it's not that no one wants an autographed copy of your music.

It's just that no one wants to give you their address because no one trusts you.

I'll have a copy. I'm sure it'll break new lyrical ground with amazing content.
