Unfortunately I failed in my attempt to obtain Call of Duty: United Offensive yesterday. Placed an order online, so hopefully I'll finally have the expansion some time next week. We're having some problems with the FileShack Los Angeles server, so it's out of rotation at the moment. It's probably going to be a few days until it returns, our apologies to those who use it as their first choice server. Also on FileShack

    "dialogue" is at least a word (noun and verb). "conversate" isn't anything. : Zero|DPX

      It's word, but when they use like that, it sounds ridiculous. : slax0r

      conversate is not a word and it doesn't matter what context it is used in, it still won't be a word.
      
      "converse" is the proper term for the meaning I think they're trying to convey... of course there is also the world "talk" which makes more sense in any phrase or dialogue "conversate" would be used in.
