<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 437879, member: 6370&quot;]you will find, if you havent already, people here can be very nitpicky. Try calling a 1 cent coin a penny and you will get people telling you &#039;the US does NOT issue a penny, they issue a 1 cent coin!!1!&#039; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So when you come in with a token and you call it a coin, someone will feel a need to correct you...its like when a person uses there instead of their, this happens all the time and I seldom if ever correct a person as I know what they meant...but without fail SOMEONE will ignore the actual subject and say &#039;its their not there&#039;...it makes them feel better that they know more maybe? It can also be an attempt to belittle and raise themselves up a bit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With me, if a person tells me there is no US penny, I will call it a penny in every post...because, of course, people know what you mean, it is a common term used in the US for a 1 cent coin whether they choose accept it or not <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like to use the phrase medal/coin as well...some people will jump all over that with reasons why it cant be both...or I will call a token a coin for the heck of it and see who pops in and contributes nothing to the thread but a lecture as to why it isnt a coin...if you cant have a little fun pushing a sensitive button or two...what can you do. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Of course we all know what you meant when you said what you said...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
