â€"Synonyms 2. See speech. 4, 9. tongue; terminology; lingo, lingua franca. Language, dialect, jargon, vernacular refer to patterns of vocabulary, syntax, and usage characteristic of communities of various sizes and types. Language is applied to the general pattern of a people or race: the English language. Dialect is applied to certain forms or varieties of a language, often those that provincial communities or special groups retain (or develop) even after a standard has been established: Scottish dialect. A jargon is either an artificial pattern used by a particular (usually occupational) group within a community or a special pattern created for communication in business or trade between members of the groups speaking different languages: the jargon of the theater; the Chinook jargon. A vernacular is the authentic natural pattern of speech, now usually on the informal level, used by persons indigenous to a certain community, large or small.

Bah, is is colour or color?  Both are acceptable.  Just as Judgement or Judgment are both correct.  Do it however you want, we really don't care.

Being a writer by trade and hobby I should be intrested in where this topic is at right now, but Im not. It all feels long winded. To Dodger I had no idea this sprite idea was implemented for six months because I never was able to play more than five ppl per cyber battles game. That would be quite a crowded battlefield.
Its just my opinion deal with it for I will change the world.
