Title: Ordinance or Ordnance as a point of Realism
Post by: Midnight on April 05, 2005, 08:58:08 PM

The words are so often confused and / or mis-used in here..

The word commonly mis-used = ordinance

noun  
1. law: a law or rule made by an authority, for example, a city government.
 
2. something prescribed: something regularly done because it is formally prescribed, especially a religious ceremony, such as Holy Communion ( formal )

The word meant in here 9 times out of 10 = ordnance

noun  
1. military military weapons systems: military weapons systems, including supplies for their use and equipment for their maintenance
 
2. department responsible for weapons and supplies: the army or government department that has responsibility for military weapons and supplies.

.... Just Saying

I know that you're just trying to spread a little knowledge around, Midnight. I suspect you'll get flamed, though. It's disappointing that so many native English speakers over the age of 16 are so ignorant of their own language.

Should we add that separate is spelled "separate" and not "seperate?"

I'm beginning to sound like my father...

im lucky if i can type the right buttons most of the time, i think in a game like AH spelling is far less importnat than getting the msg sent fast.

but i see your point.

'i' is nowhere near 'n' so it would hardly be a typo, it's called a spelling mistake.

In these days of spellchecker, people make excuses for bad spelling, punctuation and grammar, rather than expending the effort to do it correctly.

Btw in French :

Ordinance == ordonnance
Ordnance == ordonnance

According to Webster online both english words came from "Middle French ordenance, literally, act of arranging"

Prescription == ordonnance

In that case, since I'm having some trouble with city hall right now, I have a ordonnance for my problems. I'll go down there with some ordnance and re-ordenance there ordinances with said ordonnances.

in my wwi squads we practice brevity code when on missions, i think thats something we could all work on in ah,  i often hear ppl say " con" when really a con is a blip on the  radar , and they are using it to describe an unidentified airplane dot, bogey is the correct term,  and bandit is if its an enemy.

Post by: Halo on April 07, 2005, 02:24:16 PM

bogey ... one strike more than par on a golf hole

bogy or bogies ... imaginary evil being or spirit(s)

bogie or bogies ... low swiveled undercarriage at either end of railroad car

Bogey ... Humphrey Bogart

The second meaning of bogy or bogies is most appropriate for air war:  anything one especially, and often unneedlessly, fears

No matter how it's spelled in air war, bogy/bogey/bogie/bogies means heads up.

At least we never see it spelled boggy, boggys, or bogeys.
