Glossary
These are special, technical, odd, or invented words that I use.
Since I also find some English Language rules nonsensical or moronic, I have also listed here some of the rules I sometimes like to break or ignore.


ive = what people call video games, but this term also includes VR/AR experiences and any 3D virtual environments that you can explore.
It also tends to exclude simple games (such as Tetris, or most phone games), because they do not have a real explorable environment in which you can move about and explore.

Ive is a noun I invented. It comes from the acronym of Interactive Virtual Experience or Environment.
It can also be used as a verb, “to ive”.

Definitions are difficult and fluid, but generally: if there is a virtual environment you can move about, it is an ive.


ior = inclusive or. One or the other, or both.

xor = exclusive or. One or the other, not both.

“or” is pretty ambiguous, if you think about it. You never know if “both” is a valid option.


Steveless Apple is bad at naming things, so:

iBooks = Apple Books (why did they change it?)
iPencil = Apple Pencil
iWatch = Apple Watch (iWatch is so much better)
iTV = Apple TV
and so on. Names that are “Apple <Something">” become “i<Something>”


iPhone 12 Max
= iPhone 12 Pro Max (drop the “Pro”)
iPhone 13 Max = iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone 14 Max = iPhone 12 Pro Max
and so on


Microsoft is bad at naming, so I call:

Xbox 1 = Xbox (PS2 competitor)
Xbox 2 = Xbox 360 (PS3 competitor)
Xbox 3 = Xbox One (PS4 competitor)
Xbox 3.5 ior Xbox 3 Pro = Xbox One X (PS4 Pro competitor)
Xbox 4 = Xbox Series X (PS5 competitor)
Xbox 5 = successor to the Xbox Series X, which is the Xbox part of 10th generation of game console
Xbox 6 = Xbox part of 11th generation of game console
and so on


PlayStation 4.5 = PlayStation Pro (though, PlayStation Pro is fine as a name)


etc = I refuse to put the dot in “etc.”


The plural in the adjectival noun. An example is “games channel”: if the youtube channel is dedicated to 1 game, it's a “game channel”; If it covers more than one game, it's a “games channel”. 
I don't follow the usual grammar practice of using the singular, even if it's plural, because it's used as an adjective. The singular vs plural, in this case, changes the meaning, so transforming everything to the singular is a lossy conversion.


I often don’t use the possessive “‘s”. It’s an unnecessary complication.
It’s “Harry Potter Books”, not “Harry Potter’s Books”.
So why should I use “Albus’ Theory” or “Albus’s Theory” instead of “Albus Theory”?
It is an unnecessary complication. And it’s uglier.


For me, the hyphen (“-”, the minus sign) is useful when you can’t use spaces in usernames, filenames, etc. I don’t like using it in many other contexts, like in compound modifiers or nouns.
For example, at this point, I think it’s absurd to write “wi-fi”, when you can just write “wifi”.
Another unnecessary complication. And it’s uglier.
