Can we seriously stop using 'drone' for both remote controlled multi-million dollar military grade weapons and quad-copter plastic toys that cost $20? It's fucking stupid.
- Symbiote 12y agoWe use 'plane' for all kinds, from toy to passenger to freight to fighter. Perhaps 'fighter drone' or 'armed drone' would be better.
- sosborn 12y agoDrone also implies autonomy.
- yardie 12y agoThe word 'drone' has existed far longer than the $20 toy. As far back as the 60s when the military was using them for target practice.
