This dates back to the Commodore 64, that said do we really need to down vote this guy so much. He was misinformed. This doesn't mean we have to be vindictive.
- code_duck 16y agoI still think it is all the 20 year olds who have never programmed or used a system with hardware sprites that have no idea what they're saying, but I do appreciate the generous sentiment. Sure, if one is perceived to be wrong AND jerky and insistent about it, as I was, people tend to downvote your comment. Anyhow, it's just terminology. I still hate it.
