Changing terminology in Ireland

Some of these term changes may seem trivial, fancy and superficial but sometimes it can be for the best. Admin on Boards, for example, used to be known as Super Mods and whenever they gave orders they were all but laughed at and ridiculed (much like HMods are still are today). Boardsies would make SuperTed jokes whenever they attempted to moderate threads and even heckle them. They commanded no respect and their silly title was the reason for it, as it totally undermined them and what's more, they knew it, and so after a lengthy but very much successful campaign (which had it's opposition, it has to be said) Supermods became henceforth known as Admin and in a heartbeat everything changed. Instant respect. The old SMods now bristled with self esteem and began to be heeded, even endeared and, as you can see, have gone on to become the proud men and women that you see before you today. True story.

What's the story with 'multiple' being used in posts? I have never heard an Irish person using this word in general conversation. Fcuking Americanisms!:mad:

Wtf, whatever about the rest of the annoyances listed I can't believe someone is taking umbrage at the proper, well established word.

"Americanisms" ain't what they used to be.

Here's another old pic of Eason & Sons (Middle Abbey St, pre Luas).

Saint Stephensssss day, for St Stephens day,
just to add to the Eason thing, they always advertised themselves as Eason yet the website is Easons.com not Eason, hmmm,

I just checked out 'Eason.com' and to be fair, it kind of belongs to the European Space Agency (operating on a 2015 budget of €4.4 billion). I don't think a bookstore in Ireland would be buying them out of that '.com' registration! :pac:
