FabSwingers.com forum: Beta does not equal Better

Just seen someone write beta to mean better. I'm ok with gotta, wanna or other lazy way to spell, but you can not have beta.

Beta is already a word in it's own right....eg, The Warcraft expansion, Warlords of Draenor is in beta at the moment, and so are many other games.

I'll give you betta, but not beta.

I can't stand the shortening of words or text speak. Peeps is one I see on here often and drives me nuts

I really can't understand the need for it, and that's from someone who had to learn English! Does it really save time? I don't think so! It's just lazy

As a gamer, the one that winds me up something rotten is....

It means OK. It's the same effing length!!!! Also the O is above the K on a keyboard! I really can't see the logic behind it at all.

I just read it to mean that something's likely to have bugs in it, that there's no reliability and certainly may not be better than anything.
