or just GoW and Gears

This thread is hilarious.  I would have to agree with OnyxMeth in the linguistics area.  However if you're going to use words like "of" or "for" in the acronym they are usually lower case and usually only used in short acronyms.  DoD (Department of Defense) for example.  Otherwise they are usually omitted: CDC (Center for Disease Control), USAMRIID (United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases). 

So I think the appropriate acronym for people to argue about would be GoW. 

Carry on then

*joins the fray*

If we're talking about Gears in a certain thread, I might use the acronym GoW, because we all know what I'm talking about.

If we're talking about God of War in a certain thread, I might use the acronym GoW too, because we all know what I'm talking about.

I say GoW = Gears of War/God of War, depending on the situation or thread! *went there*

 LoL took me straight to the GoW2 age gate. The internet votes for Gears of War it seems.

BTW I prefer Gears to GoW.

Rabbid fanboy arguments on the internet sure make my work day go by faster. We need a no holds bard fourm.

The OP is just pointing out the mass hypocrisy on the forums

In some world where this actually matters, and there could only be one, like an acronym highlander, God of War gets the nod.

Let me guess... Failed joke thread?

I should make a thread about Mario Kart vs Mortal Kombat = MK and make loads of cash like this!

*gets mauled by countless users*

I agree, I use that to distinguish between Mass Effect and Mirror's Edge, but I am just so accustomed to writing GeoW that I never write GoW for Gears anymore

I think "Gears" is a lot easier and faster to type out than "GeOW".

Isn't the point of abbreviating to make it easier and faster to type? :P
