grammar question: why does 'X-BOX' get article 'an' insted
of 'a'? isn't x consonant?

Just a typo nothing more, as you can I see I misspelled
'want' also.

Haha, c'mon it's the internet, go look-up that Internet
'Jargon' topic if you want bad speech.

ironlung spelled it with 'an' too..

actually, it should be "an", because in this context an is
used to define a thing [the thing being the Xbox].

Well, now that I think about it, I'm not exactly sure why
either.

It just sounds better, don't you agree?

its is a consanant(sp)...I just think saying I got "a" XBox
sounded funky...

YOur probably right though=)

because "a" can't come before a word beginning with a vowel.
"x-box" doesn't start with a vowel, but the "x" is
pronounced "ex", like it has a vowel at the beginning.
ther's other words like it, can't think of them.

back to the topic, i don't have an x-box, but i heard Halo
is good....

because the sentence "I want a X-box" just sounds wrong

I dont think its typo if you say it out loud it sounds
wrong

and im sorry youre getting an X-box, but enjoy for what its
worth

Halo is pretty fun, I think thats the whole idea of an
X-box...

Yeah I absolutely LOVE HALO...Its on sale most places here
for like 15-20 bucks, I will probably get it. Anyone played
FIFA 2003?...2002 was shite and I hope they went back to the
good format...

Well you explained it bettter, I was going more on sound.
You just said it correctly =)

*feels like an asshole, I should have waited*

At least we both agreed on Halo

ok. so everytime a word starts with x it is an? (oh wait it
can't be, who says 'an xenophobe') english language is so
stupidly filled with exeptions. swedish is much more
convenient.

as for xbox, i disliked it since the controllers were way
too big for my hands :/

Because I'm against X-Box, I hate that console, I think its
just a big hunk of shit, but then again I love my Gamecube,
only because I just want to play games and nothing
more...X-box seems to much for me.

yah, i've never personally played x-box. i don't even own
any of the new consoles. but it's nintendo all the way for
me!

they have redone the controllers....they are smaller and the
buttons moved a bit...I think they are way more comfy than
those big retarded ones...I agree...

No, a vowel. Not necessarily the letter X. A vowel A E I O U
and since X sounds like ex, then you would use an.

Oh and AFL 2003...only cause I know a few people who play in
the AFL and it's pretty cool when you play a video game
controlling a person you know.

ps2 and gamecube have better games. between those i would
choose ps2. xbox is just a way for microsoft to get in on
the gaming industry. FUCK XBOX!


 

offline virginpusher from County Clare on 2003-02-26 09:07 [#00571631]

1: Halo (Best multiplayer game ever imo)
2:NBA or NFL 2k3 (for sports)
Tony hawk 4 just becuse it's so cool.

But i don't own an xbox. These are just opinion from my
friends!

if i had eine x-box i would first take jet set radio
future... then maybe dead or alive (i already have doa2, so
rather that beach volley and other vacation doax thingy),
and i played a demo of 'blinx: the time sweeper', which
seems to be quite good for a platform game! (though it is
cartoonish, like every platform game nowadays... sadly)

TimeSplitter2 is better than Halo imo. It is shitloads
faster, and the muliplayer aspect makes it unbeaten thus
far.... High hopes for Halo 2 though

Halo and Splinter Cell almost made me buy an Xbox... but
Splinter is coming out for Gamecube, and Halo for CPU... so
it's all good.
