The short form for tomestones is tomes not tombs

[Cynric]

I'm sorry, not exactly the same way, but close enough to the same that they can easily be read the same way when taking the entire "tomestone" word into account. Much the same way your brain will miss extra an extra "the" in a sentence, or be able to read a word with the letters all jumbled, as long as the first and last letter are the same. Since the whole word is "tomestone" and can easily be mistaken using that logic for "tombstone".. the shortened version becomes tomb. Again, not really that big of a deal.

I dont care what people call them. I was just pointing out that they are indeed pronounced differently.

Thats because when people start using numbers instead of letters they're just being tools, illiterate ones at that.

No, they're just being lazy.

[Meklore]

who cares. u gonna start correcting people wen they use 4 instead of for. or 2 instead of to.

Who cares? Are you going to start correcting people when they use 4 instead of for or 2 instead of to?

There, if you are going to talk about correcting language you should at least do it correctly.

Running WP doesn't make you The Undertaker, they're called tomestones, if you're illiterate and need a shorter word they're called tomes.

Who gives a rat's ass / flying f__k / s__t what people call it? Why do you care so much? You're an idiot if you don't know what they're talking about when they say 'tombs' as it relates to FFXIV. Do you have nothing better to do than make this incredibly pointless thread?

[Flionheart]

Running WP doesn't make you The Undertaker, they're called Tomestones. If you're illiterate and need a shorter word; they're called tomes.

Since we are educating people, I love it when I see people say "que" when its actually "Queue". The the former is not a word at all and the latter is the actual word used to mean "take your place in a line".

And another of my favorites is when people misuse the internet shorthand, ie: plz PST me. PST = "PLEASE" send tell... sounds like someone is begging "please please send me a tell."

Makes me laugh every time I see that.
