On "version" or "port"
Hi there. We've noticed that you have been editing pages (including disambiguation pages) to change the wording from "version" to "port". While "port" is the more correct term for it, we use the term "version" as that is what we've always used. I would like to wish that you don't do edits like such in the future. Thank you for your time. -Einstein95 (talk) 04:16, 2 December 2013 (EST)
 * Yeah, whatever. "Version" is still completely different from "port", comparative to "Revision". --BreakingBenny (talk) 04:19, 2 December 2013 (EST)
 * "Yeah, whatever" probably isn't a great way to respond to a request from an administrator. The problem here is that you're "correcting" something which isn't wrong on the basis of unreasonably rigid and narrow definitions of words which don't line up with standard English usage. Expressions like "Jaguar version" are not wrong or in any way unclear to readers; nobody is getting confused by the fact that "version" is also used in software development jargon, because from context it's clear this isn't that kind of "version". It simply isn't necessary to reword things to suit your personal preference for word usage. Thanks for your understanding. &mdash; Vague / Rant 08:10, 2 December 2013 (EST)
 * I've been looking at Wikipedia as well as Wiktionary on the verb and substantive of "port", says it's fiddled around with to be usable with the possibly-more coarse & limited system and hardware.

''Let's say we have a game originally made on PC, it gets ported to a console which has limitations in its hardware and making it minorly inferior. But some so-called ports can also be made from scratch, so we could call 'em by simply versions then''. If Another World was ported from the Amiga to DOS, it's probably a port as well while the consoles have extras to compensate for hardware, few systems can get bonuses to compensate for being lacking compared to the original.., but Nvidia has stated that consoles will never outperform PCs today when we can customize our specs. --BreakingBenny (talk) 09:08, 3 December 2013 (EST)
