Peggle20 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hey, peoples. Bought the game on Steam last night and I'm enjoying it so far, but one grammatical thing is slightly annoying me, and that is the use of "Pickup" as an action word when mousing over some interactive objects. Strictly speaking, the phrase that should be used is "Pick up [item]," while "pickup" is more correctly applied to describe an object that has been picked up. Thanks for reading. Grammar police rolling out. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/1225-should-be-pick-up-instead-of-pickup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggle20 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Even in the untamed wilds of the Canajun tundra, "pickup" is not a verb. Thanks for posting, folks.

Toaster Fu Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It's just another bug. If it didn't annoy him we never would have known about it.
