The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
As a fervent drumroll breaks, I hereby announce that this week's "Word of the Week" is:
os·ten·si·ble
adj.
Represented or appearing as such; ostensive: His ostensible purpose was charity, but his real goal was popularity.
Basically, use where someone is masking their true intentions by acting as something else.
For example, Top Score ostensibly applauds the success of the PS2, but his actual intention is to seek approval for the validity of his purchase.
Use it, now.

exclamation point or exclamation mark, does it really make that much difference? What I mean is, we all understand it - which ever way you type it/say it.
I knew that one! However, I haven't used it much.
Good example, though. I couldn't have put it better myself!
I've got off the phone after having an argument with an American who seems to think this (!) is an "exclamation point" and not an "exclamation mark"
Bloody heathen.
