Also also also, doesn't anyone else think that spelling your name with a dollar sign is a bit pretentious?

I was thinking irksome, also does she pay rolaties to Kiss for use of their trademark?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Replacing an "s" with a dollar sign? Is that their trademark?

Gene Simmons copyrighted the $ for use of his record label.

Gene Simmons copyrighted the $ for use of his record label.

that may be so, but he's gonna have to pay royalties to the US bank (or whoever controls the $'s creation in the US)

No, the $ symbol is derived from Peso, which preeceds the US or it's banks. The issue is the use in a specific system.

So for instance GW own 40,000 as a TM, but I can create any item I like and call it the whatever 40,000. The issue is if I were to release a table top wargame with that number, I wouldn't be allowed.

Consider the term F150. In 2011, Ferrari launched their 2011 F1 car and it was called F150 to mark 150years of unification of Italy. Ford then sued them for the use as they had a pick up truck called the F150.

"Ferrari has misappropriated the F-150 trademark in naming its new racing vehicle the 'F150' in order to capitalize on and profit from the substantial goodwill that Ford has developed in the F-150 trademark," Ford said in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit.

The getting the date the wrong way round is irksome, yes we commemorate 9/11, and it grates me logically, fine use the format YY/MM/DD fine, not an issue at all, also makes filing things alphabetically with date formats nice, but MM/DD/YY there is no logical progression you may as well tell the time MM:HH:SS I mean really/! *Soap box*
