<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 326408, member: 6370&quot;]well, what people call a coin is of no matter to me to be sure. Penny is, of course, an acceptable word for the coin in america with a 1 cent value, I like most people use it from time to time. I use both terms in everyday life...I need one more cent, do you have a penny? Found a penny and now I am one cent richer...whatever.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In case you honestly dont know...in the post above you say that when you hear a person use the word penny, you liken it to a child who doesn&#039;t know what they are saying...in essence, you just said that most people in the united states are childlike, they use a wrong term because they dont know better... Now since I use the term penny, and everyone I know uses the term, I guess I assumed you are lumping me into that category of people who dont know what they are saying, like a child....I would take exception as the plain facts are &#039;penny&#039; is an acceptable word for the 1 cent coin in the US....now the lack of sense is the comment that you use the word cent because it is &#039;much more advanced&#039;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To be honest I thought that was just a joke...and I thought you might have been light heartedly calling people who use the word &#039;penny&#039; as childlike and ignorant...so I just made a joke using the commonly used word for a male bovine...&#039;bull&#039; which could in fact mean a male of many different species...to say what I thought of your statement that people who use the term penny just dont know what they are talking about...like a child.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And again, I was just playing as I dont care...I am okay with the fact that the word &#039;penny&#039; has become an accepted name for the coin....or if a person doesnt want to use the term and strongly objects. So sorry for ruffling feathers...I&#039;ve been off and bored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
