    It's MEM-ento....not MO-mento.

    It's not a word based on momentum, or gathering speed, despite how that might reflect the nature of the actual game mechanic.

    It's a word based on memory. Picking up trinkets to remind you of something.


    MEMENTO:

    noun
    an object kept as a reminder or souvenir of a person or event.


    That is all. Get it right.

    Yeah, Cow. Functional literacy is an unrealistic expectation around here. What were you thinking? LOL

    It's not even that. It's just a simple misunderstanding of the word. And an understandable one, considering how the exotic works. As you kill things, you pick up momentum.

    I totally get it. But it's still wrong.

    And I figured I'd say it, since people already have a....certain perception of my personality and posting style anyway. Get a few laughs, get the message across.

    Never understood why some started to use the word ROUGE instead of ROGUE. Rouge means RED.

    Yuo, and also is a word for a type of makeup.

    I blame the english language for being weird, and stealing words from other languages without any consideration for how they fit into the grammar or rules of spelling.
