It is now officially "singleplayer" on the Thumb.

[Thrik]

What sick freak ticked option 2?

[Jake]

It really ought to be single-player, though. There's an urge to compound them because multiplayer is one word, too, but "multi-" being a prefix, it doesn't really have any other choice.

so it's video-games then? "video-" not being a prefix and all...

[Marek]

oooooh SNAP

English is a complex and beautiful language, composed entirely of special cases and exceptions to the rules.

[Jake]

That wikipedia entry also has a reference to "video cameras"

[Jake]

All I'm saying is "video games." I think that about sums it up.

I know what I wrote. Do you?

It's single player to me. Two words, used to describe a mode of play. It's a descriptive term. "This mode is for one single player." Like "Two player mode." It's not twoplayer mode on the old consoles that could only go that high, so it should not be singleplayer mode as well. Multiplayer is different because, as already stated, multi is a prefix.

That said, I rest.

Edit: And no, I don't know what you wrote, Dingo. Please explain. I know three languages, but that is not one of them.

[Thrik]

From know on I will use the term "multiple player".

[miffy495]

Damn straight!

It's single(-)player in hebrew.

Or is it?
