Someone using a word incorrectly doesn't mean they're innovative and changing language. It means they're using a word incorrectly. If enough people are as stupid as they are, it may catch on, like what happened with peruse.
It's true that words are entirely man-made so we mess with them as we see fit, but the definitions of words not being entirely fluid is important. You know, for communication. Especially when the word being used incorrectly is a dumbing-down of the original use, the new use being something covered easily by other words. The reason words with specific meanings exist is because we require them to describe specific things.
Language is a flexible and organic thing. Words can and do change meaning, but it requires widespread use and a lot of time. Professional isn't one of those ones yet. Nor does it have different meanings for American and British English.
The argument that a word means whatever you want it to mean only holds up in poetry. -

The Costumes available from the conventions and meet ups will function in this regard as well.

Of course, YMMV and all that, but I just ate so I'd rather not discuss catgirl mileages.
Those are a few of my catgirl characters. The others are the usual aliens, accidents, and mutants. Most of them have no connection to cats other than appearance. Only three have claws, and one of those is the one in her PJs.
I would say that I don't make "catgirly" characters by this game's standards, which is why I've distanced myself from that part of the community over time, even changing my global name, forum name and avatar recently.
However, I do prefer SS and SJ for travel, and enjoy thinking up cutesy cat-themed names. One of my oldest characters is a Stalker called "The Mewtilator". <.< -
Quote:In the game, virtual traps? I'd like to think it's no more than... 75%.Originally Posted by Silas
If you're using trap the way I think you are, as in, 99% of catgirls are traps...

Also, there is hard evidence that he is not working at Cryptic. That rumor started from an outdated bit of information floating around on a certain website.

Quote:I wonder if they'll leave the Sleep resistance in when Fitness becomes Inherent. I'm not being paranoid, just curious. <.<Originally Posted by DrMike2000
In my experience, Health has worked out best on high HP characters who take hits but mitigate some of it, eg Tankers and Scrappers. Anyone else I wouldn't bother beyond the default slot, and maybe also take it for the sleep resistance.
