Is anybody else really annoyed by the fact that TF calls them Tetriminos?

SRS is a rotation system, no? What is an SRS color?

Me-no
it sounds cooler
minnow = a person or thing that is very small and insignificant.
     --> all the reason not to pronounce it minnow

ok
el meano

but he's neither Spanish nor mean...

But fish are so delicious!

but he's neither a fish nor delicious...

but he's neither a fish nor delicious...

His ancestors were "fish" and that's good enough for me. Also, almost any meat is delicious with the right preparation, cooking method, and sauce combination; why would human meat be exempt?

SRS is a rotation system, not colors. SRS uses Worlds colors.

i mean, somebody told me about it. i've never actually been there.

What do you prefer to call the pieces?

anything but "blocks". i guess that's because i used to play Lockjaw. it tells you at the end of a game how many blocks you left behind (referring to the number of piece segments).

Huh. I never actually thought about it before (and certainly didn't notice). Pieces, mostly, but I'm not particularly irritated by any of it, as long as I know what's being talked about.

Well. Chatspeak, too. I'd be annoyed if they started to use that.
