Lep Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 In the past I have joked around by telling people to train on Level 2 Mans, however, more than often people have started to debate whether or not to call them Mans or Men. I debate that they should be pronounced "Level 2 Mans" because Man is technically their name. But what are your views on this? :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Men. We don't say, "Give me 10 Amulet of Powers." We say, "Give me 10 Amulets of Power." I think good grammar should still be consistent, even though it's only a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Definitely men. Their name isn't man. I'm sure they all have regular names as well, we just aren't interested in knowing them. Honestly, this is a pretty random topic with very little discussion value =P Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Isn't "mans" some card game expression? Anyways, joke topic. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lep Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 What has the debate forum come to...? Um, debating? Since Man is the characters name, then it should be "Mans." A few characters do have real life names, like in Canifis. Some of those characters are named just like Man is the characters name in Lumbridge.

Numer0_un0 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Call them mans if you wish, everyone will think you are from Mars. No discussion or debating value here whatsoever; they ARE men. man = singular men = plural mans = grammatical fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few characters do have real life names, like in Canifis. Some of those characters are named just like Man is the characters name in Lumbridge. Sheesh Do you honestly believe that all lvl 2 men are named "Man"? Are all black demons named "Black Demon"?? Not all NPCs have names. Sheesh. Anyway it could be a bit confusing down the pub Man: who's round is it? Man: Not mine, I bought the last ones Man: not you, him Man: me? Man: no, him Man: man! This is confusing Man: You talking to me? etc. etc. ("Who's on first" anyone) I agree with highlanders Oh yes, sheesh again Teeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffyroth Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I don't always type in proper in English but I think calling them "men" is a given. My stats are updated weekly... Sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 You did get a debate out of the topic :lol: Seriously though, I'm pretty sure they're men. Unless some of them are named man. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So since the name of an item is, "Amulet of Power" the plural form should be called "Amulet of Powers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffyroth Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Wouldn't that be Amulets of power? My stats are updated weekly... Sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Wouldn't that be Amulets of power? That's exactly his point. This is the most decidedly stupid debate I have ever seen in this forum =P Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 In a street racing game there was this guy with a powerful ride called Manny... but probably not a nickname for "Man" either, or? You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmyk Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Locked - I'm not sure a debate about how grammatically correct "Mans" is over "Men" is something that should be allowed on these boards, sorry. - mrmyk Proud Retired Council of The GladiatiorzClick here for our website - 110+ F2P Combat Requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
