Can we all agree to ban the use of the term "MARO" on this forum

[navmaxlp]

I plan on calling mine "Dwight"

[gumbo2000]

I call for a ban on banning.

Based on this thread we would need to ban:

Buck for Dollar

Man, Dude, Sir, Babe, Miss instead of a person's name...

speaking of names no shortening of Robert to Rob or Bob, David to Dave, Steven to Steve, Jennifer to Jen, Susan to Sue.

For that manner Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Gramps, Gram, Pops, Me Ma as this are terms of endearment not formal names.

U.S.A. should be banned as it is the United States of America.

ATM is Automatic Teller Machine

With that all acronyms or slag should be banned.

Also I read in this post that 2010 should not be called Twenty Ten but Two Thousand and ten. Please say the year 1984.... is that One thousand nine hundred and eighty four or Nineteen Eighty four?

Overall this thread is a giant fail. If not a funny fail.

From now on I will call my car GM-ustang. As it is a GM pony car and the first pony car was the Mustang....

Back to driving my Maro... er.... Cammy.... uh.... 4 wheeled conveyance.

Or would you say $2099 is Twenty Hundred and Ninty nine dollars?

To me Twenty Ten sounds like a dumb way to say "Thirty"
The year is Two Thousand Ten.

While I don't like "twenty ten", I don't think anyone is going to stop using it. Much like the Maro, and Cammy terms.

And what where the dates in the 1900's called? They were not called One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Nine. It was Nineteen Ninety Nine.

Twenty Ten is the correct way to say the date.

I know it's supposed to be some sort of abbreviation perhaps, but is it just me or does "Maro" just sound incredible lame?

I agree...ban Maro, ban Cammy, ban Stang, ban Chally...and ban the word "tints" from the american language other than talking about a color or adding color vs. that plastic film known as window tint (which can be used as a plural without the extra "s" ya know?!)

[djm96z28]

ANY type of nickname for cars is totally ridiculous. I cringe when I hear them or read them on websites. It's quite lame. Other terrible nicknames: Impy (Impala) and Elky (El Camino). JUST STOP IT !

[gold5000000]

agreed, it always reminds me of MARIO for some reason

[bonnhew]

Some people call it "CAMMY" .. which reminds me of my old camry.. BANNN the word CAMMY!!

[broncos24-7]

agreed ban the new school slang.
I like the old school sayings
" I love your SS " or your Z28, your IROC, Rally Sport, and than if you had it just plain, Camaro!
With the way times and models change, maybe we should just call them by there proper names.This way we know what kind of Camaro you drive.
Camaro LS
Camaro 1LT
Camaro 2LT
Camaro 1SS
Camaro 2SS

Those were the years of the Nineteen Hundreds. Nineteen Hundred Ninety Nine. Or Nineteen Ninety Nine.

I guess that makes this century the year of the 20 hundreds?

Either way is acceptable, again I think you miss the point.

I do not prefer to say Twenty Ten. I won't call it that, and I listed the reasons. I read an article that said Twenty Ten is correct, but we called the 2000's incorrectly. "Twenty Aught Nine" should have been for Two Thousand Nine. Oh and it should be "Ten items or Fewer" not "Ten items or less" at the Grocery store. I guess my Camry is not a Two thousand Camry but a Twenty Aught Aught, or a Twenty hundred. Which by the way I've never heard someone say Twenty Hundred.

Again my point is, just because you don't like it, doesn't make it incorrect.
I used the year as a great case in point.

Old Camrys GEN 3 and GEN 4 are some of the best around. I still have my Gen 4 and there is no way I'd get rid of it. So not a bad thing to say Camry around me.

I do agree, I wouldn't call it a Cammy because I would think I'm talking about my Camry instead of Camaro. But hey I don't mind if someone calls there camaro Cammy.

I think we should call a 2LT a Berlinetta.
