JohnsonBox Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Supposed your eye fell upon "computer fans" on the cover of a magazine about computer, what would your intuition tell you? Please choose: Your intuition would immediately tell you it means (1) computer devices for cooling (2) computer fanatics (3) computer enthusiasts (No flame please, because it is an "English language" question in the background of non-English culture, not a question just based on the English culture itself -- that might be too simple to be worth answering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted January 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2004 i can tell you've never made a poll before ;) (3) for me, but it would depend a lot on the words and pics around the phrase :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuka_t Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 well if it was the title of the mag then 3 but a story in it then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjordan2001 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) What's the difference between 2 and 3 really? I can understand fanatic because it has the word fan in it, but why enthusiast too? Enthusiast and fanatic or sort of the same really, fanatics may go a little more overboard, but doesn't really make sense to put both on this poll. But....to stay on track, I'd say about cooling devices, depending on what kind of computer magazine it was.
