We've developed our own language in this hobby, for sure. We've normalized cringeworthy grammar (e.g. "could of" replacing the correct "could have" and the omnipresent "your" when "you're" is meant).
But, the error that is most notable to me is the misuse of the apostrophe in "its." Of course, "it's " means "it is" and the apostrophe does NOT make the word possessive.
My pinball language pet peeve is the term "repo" which is an abbreviation of "repossession." Pinsiders often use "repo" when they actually mean "repro." It's soooo easy------repro is short for reproduction!
We care about the most minor details of our games. Yet, many of us don't care one wit about how they communicate.
