[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And it's "Bimmer" not "Beamer". Good lord, have a seat on your rickety Craigslist furniture and obsess over all of your "Vanguards". [/quote]

Beamer is an urban term and still totally valid, even if it's not to your liking. [/quote]

Wrong.

That's not an urban, colloquial reference. Furthermore, we all knew that the OP was referring to an automobile.[/quote]
Still doesn't make it correct.  You sound like a good helicopter snowflake nurturer that wants everyone to get to play and everyone gets a first place medal at the end.  Sorry, there's right and wrong and "beamer" for a car is wrong.

No medal, go sit on the bench.

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

Language is for communication. It's only meaningful if two parties communicating come to some basic agreement on the meaning of words. No one party can claim to be the master of the English language, and an anecdotal mis-use of "Beamer" does not change the meaning of this word for the masses. [/quote]
