Only if they say PCB board.

Do you correct non arcade game owners?

Not typically. If I did, it's all I'd do all day. People come up with some interesting terms for things they don't know, particularly on pinball machines. "Flappers" is the one I hear most often. "I think the bulb is out on the monitor" is a joke some of you make, but I have heard it dozens of times. I only correct it when it's relevant, like when they're trying to get it repaired or they're selling it to me. Constantly correcting everyone who messages or talks to me would just feel pedantic.
I buy pcb boards with the cash I get out of the ATM machine
While at the same time complaining that the hobby is dying because there is no new blood.

you know what does it for me?
people that call video games "arcades". I'd say that's a southern thing, but I know people up north that do it too. and... I just kind of don't say anything about it and just let it go.
fun fact: I don't really like other collectors. I went to one of those meets years ago and was baffled at the egos. the score chasers aggravate me too. as I dipped into both things, I'm still in a state where I don't enjoy playing most games anymore. Frogger and Omega Race there's a sense of thrill in the death sounds though, I don't mind all that.
So you don't know the lingo of the arcade world? Welcome to the wonderful world of arcade collecting. Have you every thought of having your own collection?
Here let me lend you a few arcade machine maybe 6 maybe or a dozen. Just sign this liability contract of Just in cases and a clear acknowledgement of what is expected from both parties. Repairs maintenance and liabilities.
You will know in a year if this hobby is for you..
Games need to be played to be appericated. Arcade memories are fun to create in others..

I thought it was actually tie-EE-toe
It technically is.
Tigh-to
(Technically Tah-ee-toh)
But I let that one slide usually. It's not worth the effort.
The one that sometimes pushes me over the edge is someone saying "repo" instead of "repro". Drives me insane! I can accept you're being too lazy to say "reproduction". But you're not from Hahvahd and there's no disappearing R in "repro". So don't be lazy AND stupid.
RE-PRO! FFS!

I'm not japanese, so I say "Tay-toe". Just like I say Nutella as "Nut-ella" even though the company says it's incorrect. It's made of NUTS - I don't care how the company says it!

Nah... it's totally tay-tee-oh
You're killling me Mark!
I did misspell TYE-toh. But it's still a long-i sound. And I'm pretty sure there's only 1 "t" in there.
I just had a thought. I have a baseball game tonight and there are 5 native Japanese speakers (1st language) on my team. Ages range from early 40's to late 50's. So I think it's the right demographic. I'll ask each one for permission to record his pronunciation of "Taito". Perhaps I can get both the stand alone word and the word as used in a (Japanese) sentence. Then I'll go home, watch Star Trek, and totally forget to share my findings with KLOV.

I tell them "just call me Matt" haha. I used to have an xbox live friend that called me that. I've been using this username for so long now that I can't be bothered to change the name to something like goofus.

Laughs you need a bigger sample to get a real answer. You do understand that each Japanese village speaks a little different not to mention accents. I suppose finding people in the right age group who come from that city. Would probably get you the answer you seek.
