Talk:lag

Rfv-sense: (Internet) bad connection, loss of connection, causing a delay. DCDuring TALK 10:41, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Cited. Very common in gaming circles. Equinox ◑ 11:18, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * But the definition and usage note implies that it is used in gaming to mean delay in a sense distinct from sense 1 "latency". The quotations don't make clear a distinction. In fact, the third suggests there is no difference. I could as easily create a distinct sense for control systems engineering or economics. DCDuring TALK 11:29, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * A gamer might say "there was a lot of lag" or "too much lag". Can sense 1 be used uncountably? Equinox ◑ 15:24, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Definitely. Good point. I tried splitting sense 1 into countable and uncountable. That might be overkill, but we get reports that countability is a troublesome issue for language learners. Perhaps we should make a point of splitting countable and uncountable variants of the most common of senses. DCDuring TALK 17:42, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * So is this an rfd-redundant now? If so, I say merge. &#x200b;—msh210℠ 15:10, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Merged. - -sche (discuss) 02:16, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
