Do you know that the word "Verbatim" only applies to the use of actual words and not, lets say images? Also a gameboy DS doesnt even exist. FAIL!!!

Correct, it's definition is: Using the exact same words.

Let's take the word "Verbatim" for what its summary of the definition would be: Word For Word.

Now, this implies that one thing is exactly like the other. "Exact Same"

In a conversation with a friend and co-worker at a Computer repair shop of all places. This word comes up alot, Why? Because most of the time we are copying folders saving documents, music and the such. Think of the context of the statement next time.

The Company Verbatim Makes Cds, flash media, and hard drives. Now surely with your argument, they should change their name for they are not copying ANYTHING "Word for word". You could argue that it copies the information "01110100 01110010 01101111 01101100 01101100" Word for word. But these are not words are they. No they're not. This is Binary Code.
Wait a minute.. I thought you said "the word 'Verbatim' only applies to the use of actual words and not, lets say images?"
So, what happens when Verbatim Copies images from the computer to a CD/DVD, Flash Drive, or Hard Drive? They are liars now aren't they! Such thieves of our money selling us false products. This is an OUTRAGE!!
..or they are referencing that their products supply the consumer with getting an Exact Copy of what they want.

The definition of a word can have multiple meanings and uses. Thus being used now for an Exact Copy. Which is what my simple post was about. My father and I being an exact copy.

So, please don't complain about the use of words next time. I'd rather not hear it. Even if it was a real Mistake, It's kind of an asshole move to just read over someone's work and reply with "improper use" of words/definitions of items & references. What are you, my english teacher? We're not in the classroom anymore. If you're looking for that, I'd suggest you go to school and take some classes so you can become a teacher and do all the grading, criticizing, and corrections you'd like. But here online, you're on the same level as all of us. And even then, you put yourself lower by not showing your identity when you point the finger. You are a Troll.

And as for the Gameboy DS. We ALL know what I am referring to. It's a Gameboy. That is a name that will be tagged to the product for as long as its produced. We all grew up with gameboys, so whats the next version going to be referred to as. A Gameboy, and its sub-name. It's just like Apple's product.
The iPod Touch. That is it's Official name. But at least 85% of people refer to it as the iTouch. Is it the correct term? No. Does it get the point across and do we know what the person is talking about? Yes.

So do iTouches exist? No. So where the hell is everyone getting these iTouches that look like a "Verbatim" to the iPod Touch? What the hell is everyone talking about.

Ask me something your iPhone won't be able to tell you about me.
