[Kinetix]

City of Variable. X is equal to Heroes and/or Villains.

Or, plural phalluses.

[Gold Rush]

Not too hard to type out CoH/V...but the net is all about abbreviation.

"OMGWTFBBQ" FTW!

Two keystrokes saved let you have the time to moved your arm an inch or so. Vital.

[Krypto]

Or to scratch your ass. Also vital.

<Rant - and not necessarily directed at you, Kin, but at 'Internet Shorthand' in general>

You know, that's the same argument folks use when they try to defend typing "ne" instead of "any". The thing is, if it takes the viewer an extra 5 seconds to understand what is typed, then who cares about a 1 second savings in typing when the overall time of communication takes a 4 second hit. Not really a savings at all when you look at the big picture

lol, Kin's the last person you'll need to poke at for using that, pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

The acronyms like LOL, I can understand, and I have no problem using. However, people need to take a damn typing class and learn how to type properly, especially kids who have access to it in school.

City of Xanatos?

That'd be one empty city. I haven't seen the man in many months!

[Jade_Dragon]

Honestly, the abbreviation CoH/V never even occured to me.

I betcha I use it from now on, though... :D

[Solos]

Because CoX is very easy to understan unlik dis wich taks ages 2 reed.

[Meltman]

Also very easy to make fun of, so I approve of its use by anyone except for me.

I've gotten used to it, but I didn't like it at first. I guess people just found CoH/V to trying

[Charon]

I either say CoH or CoV... Never refer to them collectively.

Well, I personally find that hard to do. I'm pretty active in both...

From the thread title, I thought this was one of those spam accounts.

Depends on if you ask Xan or not.

He's been busy assembling his cult of Xanamaniacs. He'll be preparing an assault here again when he's good and drunk.

...which, if we know our dear Xanatos, won't be much longer. :D

You're missing an important qualifier for that, folks.

Lord knows that's for certain.
