| Summary | 0003222: Typo on the loading screen. | ||||
| Description | "Loading items from disk" should read "Loading items from disc". No, the words aren't interchangeable, "disc" comes from the latin "discus". When Floppies were first marketed they wanted to emphasize how small they were, so they added "ette" to the end, but discette was ambiguous, so they changed it to diskette, which got shortened by the illiterate masses to disk. Therefore, the game is not loading from a disk, but a disc. Unless the hard drive is a solid state hard drive, then it's not loading off a disc either. Maybe it should just say "Loading assets" to avoid making incorrect assumptions. | ||||

In common usage in the US, it's "hard disk." |

|
In common usage in the US is a lot of butchering of the English language. :P My second point is still valid, I can play the game off something that is neither a disc nor a disk. |

This is a level of nitpickery I'm not going to engage in. |
