- skrebbel 13y agoThat doesn't make it correct, though. We're mostly Europeans who learned English as a second language. You'll find many specific half-English terms in the demoscene, in fact. One of my favourites is the role of "Graphician", which would be called "Graphics artist" in any other place. The term is inspired by "Musician", I suppose, though I like to think it's actually a play on "Magician".
- paulnechifor 13y agoIn my language “grafician” is a word and I assume it is in others too. It's common for people to assume their words have a direct mapping to another language. It's more embarrassing when the word exists, but has a different meaning.
- D9u 13y agoI also remember it being called "Demoscene," (one word) as far back as the mid 1990's.
- bane 13y agothough I like to think it's actually a play on "Magician" considering how hard it is for most groups to find a decent graphician, they're almost as important
