<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 2318552, member: 53226"]Words can have more than one meaning. Objects can have more than one name. Demanding that somebody use "cents" instead of "pennies" is pedantic and basically arguing semantics. Besides, do you call those coins that are a little larger than pennies "nickels"? Everyone does. They're "technically" 5 cent pieces. If you ask anybody what a penny is, they will know. "Penny" is an acceptable term for the US small cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
