[Closed] sci-fi or syfy

syfy?

si-vee

It looks Welsh so it sounds Welsh (ish).

SF please

sci-fi....'science fiction' written the normal way or (syfy = "syence- fyction" as it would look written in full.....looks horrible to me...lol

Irony filters to maximum Captain!

Is this some kind of test?

'sci-fi' or 'syfy'[b]:[/b] which do you [b]prefer[/b][b]? Why[/b] have they changed the letters on 'sky' anyway.... there's [b]too[/b] much changing of words these days. [b]We[/b] are living in a 'text world' and no-one will be able to spell properly [b]any more[/b]! [b]The[/b] English language will [b]diminish[/b] and [b]be[/b] known as [b]English[/b] text...

"to be" =2B
"for you" = 4 u or 4 ya
" Before =B4
"sci fi = syfy
"mate" = m8
etc, etc ,etc ,etc

[b]I[/b] bet there [b]have[/b] been many mistakes in English written exams where text has been used instead of the norm!

There! How did I do?

..there's two much changing of words these days..

Nice troll, but you gave yourself away.
No one that genuinely spells that badly would remember the apostrophe on "there's". 😀

Or use the word "norm" nice try though 🙂

It's SF to people who really care. To the less anal of us who read lots of SF and watch films and tv as well, it really doesn't matter, as long as the quality is good. There was something in the paper yesterday about a group of people campaigning about increased use of American ideom and spelling spoiling English, I don't suppose the OP is a member?
Where did I see it now? Oh, I remember, it was the Mail on Sunday...

I thought the pc term was now 'genre'. 🙂

syfy is the new name for an old tv channel. I haven't seen it used in other contexts. Since it's a brand name the owners are free to spell it how they wish.

"sci-fi" is an American coined abbreviation abbreviation anyway, which would nullify your rather confused argument.

no ! that was my point...'about the sky channel' ..it used to be named 'sci-fi" but now they changed it to syfy.... its abit like lazy text speaking ! thats how it looks to me anyway... 😉 duh i give up...

[b]N[/b]o !
[b]T[/b]hat was my point 'about the sky channel'. [b]It[/b] used to be named 'sci-fi[b]'[/b] but now they changed it to syfy[b].[/b] [b]It's[/b] a bit like lazy text speaking ! [b]That's[/b] how it looks to me anyway[b].[/b] [b]D[/b]uh [b]I[/b] give up[b].[/b]

Some shockingly judgmental peeple would say that poor punctuation is a bit like lazy forum posting 🙂

it's not skiffy it's esseff, and syfy looks wrong

OMFG wot iz ur prob? I bt ur rily old ent u? Cud u nt fink of sumin btr 2 bich bowt?
