Title: Education 101
Post by: Dabbs on August 29, 2011, 05:27:35 am
So, i've decided theres a few people that don't quite understand some things. First off we'll go over road etiquette
1. The yellow line on the road divides the cars going different ways, Stay on the right.
2. The White line divides the lanes going the same way, stay in your own lane and you'll be fine.
3. SWAT Should stand for Special Weapons and Advanced Tactics, since "and" isn't suppose to get a letter in the abbreviation as its less then 4 letters, although, for some reason in the USA they decided to just make it Special Weapons And Tactics.
4. If you see someone breaking the rules, /report, complaining in /p won't get anywhere ;p
5. no begging in mainchat, you'll just make people hate you that way.
That is all. Enjoy your day.

6. (Added just for Twenty ;) ) In math, in a formula like 2+2*2, the multiplication comes before the addition.

Feel free to seek for another community if you don't like our rules. However, I completely agree with you that some players need to retake their driving lessons.. :lol:

Right, because nobody should ever overtake, speed or recklessly drive which are all law breaks, not server rules.

3. SWAT Should stand for Special Weapons and Advanced Tactics, since "and" isn't suppose to get a letter in the abbreviation as its less then 4 letters, although, for some reason in the USA they decided to just make it Special Weapons And Tactics.

SWAT is not going to change its name just because you have been taught incorrectly, there is no grammatical rule that states an ACRONYM* may not contain a word which comprises of less than four letters.

* SWAT is an acronym not an abbreviation.

4. If you see someone breaking the rules, /report, complaining in /p won't get anywhere ;p

Complaining in public chat is common practice in Argonath, the administration will deal with it if it becomes an issue.

5. no begging in mainchat, you'll just make people hate you that way.

As above, replacing "Complaining" with "begging".

6. (Added just for Twenty ;) ) In math, in a formula like 2+2*2, the multiplication comes before the addition.

This has nothing to do with the server, peoples mathematical ability does not require discussion.

That is all, have a nice day.

Lol sorry, wasn't trying to complain about the rules, i actually like the no carjacking, as i have bad FPS and by the time someone carjacks me they could drive away and i wouldn't be able to do anything, was just pointing out that this isn't really like GTA SA SP, and this was an RP with rules
even though i probably made it very unclear

As a matter of fact, he is taught correctly.
SWAT means Special Weapons and Advanced Tactics. The "and" is not included.
Just like United States of America is USA and not USOA.

And the only difference between an acronym and an abbreviation is the punctuation, basically.
R.I.P. - Abbreviation.
CIA - Acronym.

Please do not take what I said out of context.

Abbreviation is the shortening of one word, not multiple words, for example, coop is and abbreviation of cooperative.
An acronym is the first letter of multiple words taken to create another word, for example, SWAT is an acronym of Special Weapons And Tactics.

SWAT infact does mean Special Weapons And Tactics.

Also, the words which are included in an acronym are down to the person creating the acronym.

Alright, I admit I was wrong with the "Special Weapons Advanced Tactics".
But it is not spelled S.W.A.T. bro, it is as a matter of fact spelled SWAT, just like FBI, CIA, etc...
Nice try though.

Some teams use SWAT, some S.W.A.T.

SWAT was formed in the USA, the LAPD made it.

1. We are supposed to drive on the right side of the road at all times. Unless you are from England or Japan, in which case you are supposed to drive on the WRONG side of the road.
2. Regardless how you spell it, you swat a fly and SWAT a criminal.
3. Beg in /PM instead. You will annoy more people before being punished.
