its a crappy speccy game. (when i first came here i thought it was some internet slang)
I thought it was quite a good game for its day. It was certainly the first wargame for the Spectrum with a decent user interface, and it's considered fairly influential - along with the later and rather more accomplished Nether Earth - in the development of the real time strategy genre.
Anyway, I guess the game itself is somewhat secondary to the running gag these days:
I'm more concerned about Bush's hatred of tourism. He keeps making speeches about the "War on Tourism", and how he he doesn't like Tourists. Makes you not want to visit the USofA.
I've often heard newsreaders talk about "blaccinations" or "terraced attacks"...
One idiotic phrase is the general misuse of "Afro-" instead of "African-". Afro is a hairstyle (favoured by the late, great Jimi Hendrix), not a nationality...
I never make misteaksmistrakesmisyaleserrurs — oh, sod it.

Also, I would like to see the words traditional and traditionally used a lot less in the media.

Speak for yourself, my stonkers are in perfect working order. :D

I once heard a Radio 4 newsreader announce "Israel has been invaded by lesbian forces". :D
