Enough of the Effing ™ Threads

[StarbucksSam]

Okay, the ™ was sort of cool in the beginning, now it's just starting to get annoying. Can we PLEASE stop with this already?

 

[iGary]

No.™

 

[stoid]

It's just So Much Fun™ to type the trademark symbol On A Mac™ because it's Really Easy™ unlike on Windows® XP™ where you have to remember really confusing Alt-codes.

[Aarow]

What about © threads?

 

[eva01]

agreed™

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Could be worse – we've not seen 'The Official™ Thread' yet...

I think someone is having a caffiene withdrawal.

Note: I would have added a 'TM' symbol on there, but since I am typing this on a PC I don't want to have to go and figure out the bloody Alt-code.

Agreed. It means nothing. it won't change anything. But I'm not a fan.

 

[Abstract]

I don't care either way, you big baby.

How in the world do you do the (brb - gotta go to Character Map...stupid Dell...)
^TM(character map won't work), or any other symbol on a Mac? I haven't figured that out yet.

And, back on topic: I don't really mind the ^TM threads too much, but there are a few too many - lets tone down on them a bit, okay?

 

[mad jew]

I like the ™. It implies ownership, authority and power. I wish it was used more often.

 

[solvs]

You're being sarcastic right? Cuz that's the only thing I can think of. Otherwise, you need a chill pill. Seriously man, chill. ®

I did this ™ on a PC without using any alt-codes ... select™, Ctrl-C™, Ctrl-V™, in case you're wondering.

Soo? What the secret? I have to go to the Special character menu.

I don't really see the point of using ™ though, are OP's trademarking their threads? Do they plan to sell the thread as either a good or service? It just doesn't make sense.
The same goes for ©, but at least copyright makes more vocabularistic (!?) sense than trade mark.

 

[CompUser]

Its annoying me a little too.

Can we also outlaw the word "frack"

 

[puckhead193]

is this pick on iGary day? I think he needs a hug

It's just a bit of fun!™ I don't see why people care about it that much.

No fracking way™.

Christ, I'd have no fun.

 

[StarbucksSam]

Bah! You people don't know when to bloody ****ing stop. I think this is an outrage™.

 

[rdowns]

I have no problem with the symbols. ®
