<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2780001, member: 112&quot;]But eddie, conserve is nothing more than a fancy sounding synonym for clean. And conserve is only used to make what you are really doing &quot;sound better&quot;. It&#039;s a euphemism, nothing more. I&#039;m pretty sure you&#039;re well aware of that though because, unless I am mistaken, I think I can hear a big grin hidden in your words there somewhere <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to &quot;conserve&quot;, here&#039;s the deal as I see it. And I think this is kinda point that Insider was trying to make when he started this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you clean your house or would you conserve your house ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you clean the dishes after dinner or would you conserve the dishes ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Would you clean the carpet or would you conserve the carpet ? </p><p><br /></p><p>That list could go on and on, and I&#039;m pretty sure all of you get my meaning. In none of those examples or any of the many others would anyone ever use the word conserve. Why ? Because there&#039;s no reason to, there is simply no reason to try and pretty it up and make it sound better when you are cleaning the house. But if you&#039;re gonna clean your coins - OMG we can&#039;t say that ! Some people put a negative connotation on the word clean - we gotta use some other word when we&#039;re talkin about our coins ! Let&#039;s use <i>conserve</i> - YEAH ! That sounds lots better <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Why nobody will ever know what we&#039;re really talking about if we use <i>conserve</i> !</p><p><br /></p><p>Well horse puckey ! You&#039;re doing exactly the same thing whether you clean the coin or you conserve the coin. Using conserve, well, I don&#039;t know of a better way to say it than it&#039;s nothing more than putting on airs - trying to make it seem like it&#039;s something it&#039;s not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
