BeefBacon 1185 Posted October 4, 2015 quonsethut.org. A website devoted to quonset huts. I'm having trouble thinking of a more boring website. How about a website about a specific make of towel rack? The history of crocs? Incredible. I can't see anyone referring to officer tents as quonset huts. Maybe officer huts? I'm not even sure how to pronounce quonset. Konset? Kwonsit? Koo-on-set? Informative nonetheless. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well yes but the world does not consists just out of you and your buddies, pretty selfish behaviour imo ;P 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not even sure how to pronounce quonset. Konset? Kwonsit? Koo-on-set? Informative nonetheless.IPA: kwänsət Commonly, when a 'u' is before an 'o' the 'u' turns into a 'w.' Sounds like 'kwon-sit' who cares what its called there's a guy in my group that's always correcting folks gets on my fucking nerves the pretentious prick. as long as your team members knows who or what your talking about who cares. hell everyone pronounces the cities wrong are we gonna have a translator come in and help us learn to pronounce those next.Who cares that language is what separates us from the beasts! Why not start calling M4's, 1911's or Peaches? People that don't use the proper word for something gets on my nerves. Nothing pretentious about using basic words. Hey I got an idea, instead of calling it DayZ...lets call it Mario Kart. Wouldn't that be pretentious? Whats the difference right? ;) Kind of reminds of people calling the office building (Land_A_Office01) a 'school' when its doesn't look like a school in any way, shape, or form. Its an office building. thank you professor for your lectureI wouldn't go that far. Just just basic English. Not talking high level linguistics here, just basics.

☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted October 4, 2015 I am all for using the proper terms in DayZ as in life. I think it is most important that we use the term, bandit, murderer, and survivor properly. I used to call the Quonset huts Officers Barracks (because of the bunks and tables) but as a (mostly) 3yr lone wolf player I really only used the term in my internal dialogue and didn't even use it here on the forum really. When I started playing with a friend recently I found all of my personal nicknames for structures weren't great for describing them. I do think the office building reminded me of a school a little because the stairwell of the high school I went to was all windows from top to bottom and I think that's one of the main features that made people think it was a school as well....

Tactical Nuke 47 Posted October 4, 2015 I had always called it an Officer Tent, but since watching a few videos that had Hicks talking about it and referring to it as a Quonset (kwon-set imo) Hut I've taken to calling it that too - albeit not many people in my group call it that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bororm 1156 Posted October 4, 2015 As long as you are consistent within your own group it doesn't matter what you call anything. Also, "quonset" as a word sounds stupid so I'm not saying it =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freethink 984 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) officers barracks for me or curved roof barracks. It's obviously not a tent wouldn't know to to pronounce "quonset" tbh. btw the key to communication is getting your message across not trying to feel superior to the people you are speaking with. Haven't heard one person call it the officers tent but I imagine in a stressful situation a person could call it that but I also assume we'd all know what they were talking about.
