Incorrect Usage of Mayday
At first glance, it appeared that we were observing a military transcript in which a superior officer was correcting a subordinate officer’s use of the term “Mayday.” However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that the individuals in question were participating in an online game. Mrlemflem had taken it upon himself to correct Jellyiscool123797’s use of “Mayday” and had informed him that the military uses the term three times to avoid confusion. While this may be an accurate statement, one must question its relevance in an online game. After all, why get so worked up about technicalities when the primary objective is to have fun?
Individuals like Mrlemflem who insist on correcting others during a recreational activity often drive people away from such games. While we understand that maintaining a high kill/death ratio is important, it is not necessary to be pedantic and correct others’ usage of terms. Such attitudes can spoil the fun and drive others away from multiplayer campaigns, forcing them to stick to single-player modes. It is essential to remember that while technical accuracy is important in certain contexts, it is not always necessary in recreational activities, and it is important to strike a balance between fun and precision.
