    Why 2 and 3?

    Ok, here is something I thought about today... Think how many words in Paintball have 2 sylables... Why is that? Does it have a nice ring to it or something? Here is a quick list of some of them...

    Paintball
    Marker
    Barrel
    Bunker
    Sup-Air
    Jersey
    Smartparts
    Bob-Long
    Tippmann
    Cocker
    Impulse
    Shocker
    Impy
    Timmy
    Tippy
    Max Flow
    Angel
    Sniper
    Phantom
    Viper
    Venom
    Nova

    That is just a quick list... and what about four of the most popular teams out there in paintball? All have 3 sylables...


    Dynasty
    AfterShock
    Ironmen
    Ground Zero

    What is up with this crap?

    It's a conspiracy

    The dictionary companies want us all speaking in two or three syllable words so they can save on ink.
    Return to the free market. Get rid of all government regulations and let society make it's own decisions. Time and again the relaxing of government regulations has increased profits, innovation and the economy.

              quick and easy.

              its much easier to say "KAPP" and be done than "Kick *** Preformance Products" 1 as opposed to 7....
