Transpose instead of transition. Wtf?


transpose is correct, :O!


Sorry Gretorp, but transpose is certainly one of the words you consistently misuse, although it's not the most obvious of them.

The relevant definitions of transpose that aren't obsolete are as follows according to the OED:

5.To alter the order of (a set or series of things), or the position of (a thing) in a series; to put each of (two or more things) in the place of the other or others, to interchange; esp. to alter the order of letters in a word or of words in a sentence. (Now the ordinary sense.)

7. Music. To alter the key of; to put into a different key (in composition, arrangement, or performance)

The closest definition, though incredibly obsolete, to the way you employ the word is this, and even this isn't precisely accurate for your usage:

1. trans. To change (one thing) to or into another; to transform, transmute, convert. Obs.


I'm an editor so these things probably disproportionately annoy me, but I don't have an unrealistic expectation of perfection in spoken English. God knows I wouldn't want my own conversational/casual written English to be nit picked. There are just some words that you should just cease using because you don't use them correctly the majority of the time, or even consistently misuse them (girth, relativity, scale, behooves, transpose).

I know that this post is anal, but it's not intended to be meanspirited, I've watched every game of the NASL, pay for the VODs, and really really appreciate the tournament and your hard work.

WhiteRa does that no wall build to entice his zerg opponent into early aggression to him because he knows he can crush it. That's what he said on his stream anyway.
big gulps huh?

I'll join you in poking a little fun at our beloved casters ^_^ Transpose is absolutely wrong in that context. Today Gretorp tried to defend it as a chess usage, but there is a subtle (not so subtle?) difference between the chess usage and his (see spoiler below, Gretorp ^_^).

I would add a couple to your list.. "regardless" being thrown in at odd times when it doesn't make sense and an attack that was "averted" when in fact it was repelled (an averted attack never would have happened, which was not the case in-game).

BUT! Whatever they may say, these guys are casting a freakton of games per week and doing a fine job of it. So I hope they don't take this as more than a little grief.

("Transpose" in chess as opposed to Gretorp's usage)
+ Show Spoiler +
"Transpose" in chess is when a typical sequence is performed out of order, such that what is normally the first part happens after what is normally the second part, the end result being the same. The key aspect is that the order of two things is swapped. However, Gretorp often uses "transpose" in SC2 to mean "changes into." Absent some alteration of the typical order of some sequence of events, that usage is absolutely not correct.
You say you want lurkers? I want scourge! Bye bye colossi.
