Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 1407601, member: 22331"]A Civil Correction! Honestly, thank you for the correction, and I apologize on behalf of any who may have incorrectly offended your sensibilities. The OP asked what was believed to be a question: "I just do not understand why so many people call halves "fifty-cent pieces" or fifty-cent coins" or even, "half-dollars"  What followed in the initial post objectively seemed to read as a meaningless rant, eventually defined/supported by the OP as same. The OP appeared to want a personal choice name consensus for a coin, namely half or halves. The OP personal choice for the coin name was unrealistic, as those  names have a literal definition which aren't applicable without an object to the prepositional choice (e.g. HALF dollar).  Many, myself included, may have responded to the query with a direct "tongue in cheek" seemingly cynical earned response.I personally believed that the OP was asking a rhetorical question for which the answer was known. The post seemingly was intended to evoke direct stimulated response. The intent may have been achieved. Any Offense To Others Is Unintended!! :bow:[/QUOTE]
