Re: Sunday Commentary
Instead of coming up with alternate terminology, I'm all for making "gamer" synonmous with "elite cyber sportsman".

Re: Sunday Commentary
i dont think its a negative stigma at all. when i go to clubs, dance with a girl and she asks me what i do for a living, i tell her i'm a computer nerd. after that she laughs and probably assumes i have money. nerds are in

Spelt: see spell 2 also see http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=spelt Maybe it's because my first langauge is English as opposed to American  I'm a computer programmer, so it depends on who asks what I say. Software Engineer sounds good but I think it still = nerd, but nerd with money( not that that is actually true  )

No. From the same url: spelt2 Audio pronunciation of "spelt" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (splt) v. A past tense and a past participle of spell1. OTOH: Maybe your comment was more along the lines of: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sarcasm
