First off, I like the idea of this mod, as the Vault Suit and Pipboy don't make any sense to me. My personal preference would be an outfit that matches the opening scene, and similar to to the other courier outfits in-game for the parts that were not shown in cinematic mode.
Secondly, I don't particularly care about this.. I admit I am fully wrong and that "mohave" is equally as justified as "mojave" even though I'd be amazed finding a scholar that would agree to it. However:
Mojave isn't and English word, so no, it is not the same. In fact, there is no direct translation.
Mojave may have roots in something other than the Queen's English, but is the proper name of the Mojave Desert. That is the accepted translation. In English. If you spoke English, and looked at any English map, guess what it would be spelled as? Perhaps sometime along the Fallout timeline it got changed and no one told Beth or Obsidian, but a proper name is a proper name. When people say "I speak American," even in jest, it rings of ignorance and racism. In all likely hood, you didn't mean it in any such way considering the smily face and jk. But, as you felt it important to make your joke, I felt it important to push for a more accurate description. A Mohave outfit should be an ancestral Native American attire, a Mojave outfit should be something more contemporary to the FNV timeline. A quesadilla is not pronounced "kwess-ah-dill-ah" no matter how far you were born in the mountains. Mojave != Mohave, and are not interchangeable from a grammar nazi's standpoint, even if phonetically similar.
A ten second google search says that it is named after the Mo
have Indians, and I don't care enough to learn why it is and has been the Mo
jave Desert. I'm sure it's fascinating, but can it just be a truce as far as we don't agree on proper grammar? Or that you were joking and the joke's grammar still bothered me? Or whatever scenario makes you happiest?
You seem to have missed the"jk" at the end of Echonite's sentence. JK is an acronym, abbreviation or slang word that means 'Just Kidding'. It is used on the internet to let others know that you are joking.
Echonite was implying that the person speaks English, thereby making it alright to not know the correct spelling of something that is not of English origin off the top of their head.
Seriously? Proper Name. Proper. Mojave. I caught the smily and the jk. To me, it's a bit like saying "Bless your heart, you're the stupidest person I've ever met." Saying "Bless your heart" doesn't excuse the rest of the sentence, and "Bless you're heart, your the stupidest person I've ever met." isn't the same thing. We might disagree about that too, and 100 pages of internet e-peen measuring won't change either of our minds, so lets drop it all here? Or in your reply, or preferably for the OP and everyone who doesn't care about this discussion (including me) in a PM as not to derail this thread further. - also, please don't PM me regarding this. If you have the urge to be right then I fully admit that you are, and please just talk about how awesome and right you are in PM's with others who agree with you. I have no care whatsoever to argue any further about a location that I personally don't even enjoy being at in real life, named by people I don't care about, named after people I have no interest in.
To the OP, I apologize. My bad. Great mod idea, great implementation so far. At least you got a few free bumps out of this.
