Why does everyone post questions to forums instead of google?

They want to sound like a professional?



I know what price point means, or meant because now suddenly instead of price everyone on tech sites, forums, youtube etc. says price point, it is a new sickness.

- Everyone understands the jargon, so you use it to make it simple to understand what you mean.
- You want to sound clever.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

You know developers/publishers throw out buzzwords every generation that forum goers repeat like a child learning a new word.



Because it's without tax.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Recently watched a review on the Toyota Land Cruiser, and just in the first 2 minutes the guy said "price point" at least 12 times. It was over a 10 minute long video and not the last time he used the term. Annoying as fuck.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Because price is not a precise word and people confuse it with cost and value.
