Never once despite the countless references to that very fact over the past 5 years.

Miller sure knows what he is talking about, wish EA and others developers would sit down open up what littel brains they have and listen to this guy.

hit the nail on the head right there.

in saying that and i think they know it, 8 years to develop DNF is abit piss weak, but yeah atleast when it does come out the franchise will kick off again and they will be cashed up.

I believe the word you are looking for is abbreviation.

it would have been more believable if they had said that dnf was switching to a new engine (say the doom5 engine or something like that!) rather than coming out which is totally unbelievable!

p.s. i think you'll find that dnf is an acronym & that all acronyms are abbreviations. :D

i think everyone has given up hope that DNF will ever come out. no game takes 8 years to finish. however, if by some reason DNF does come out i expect it will will be the most pirated game in the last 5 - 10 years.

Acronym = forms a word ie SWAT.

Abbreviations = a shortened version of a word that doesn't form a word ie FBI

word.

fpot: i put my grinning face smilie there coz i remember the last time this silly pedantic argument took place & was having a go! X.x (as you prolly were too :P)

i know that most of you believe that acronyms need to be pronouncable as a single word to be considered acronyms. thats fine if you are an american or choose to speak the american bastardisation of english. in the concise oxford an acronym is a word formed with the first(few) letter(s) of other words. how that word is pronounced is irrelevant. to me 'FBI' is a word regardless of the pronunciation... it's an acronym & acronyms are words! :D

there is no word called 'initialism' (from typo's wikipedia link) in the concise oxford or the macquarie dictionary so as australian's it's not a real word at all. :D

p.s. omfg is an acronym. :D
