Hi All,
Back when I was evaluating Vue xStream vs. TG2/XFrog I did a google search on the term "Planetside" and found more than one lead, only one of which brought me to the company that makes TG2. As you folks know on the other side of the "big ditch", Americans have different idiomatic meanings for words and expressions that use them and the way we say things are different from the way the British say and mean things. For example, there are signs in Britain that say "please 'mind' the stairs". In the USA, the word 'mind' is more frequently used to mean 'obey' than to mean "be mindful of" something, as in "children, you must mind your parents". So an American hearing someone telling them they must 'mind' the stairs, first thought that comes to our minds is that the stairs are audibly speaking commands to us and we must obey what they tell us to do. Anyway, the word "Planetside" makes me (as an American) think of the WWII era expression, "I'm going stateside" which basically means "I am traveling to the United States side of the Atlantic Ocean". As an American, I think Planetside implies that "I am travelling to the 'planet side' of the space gap that separates a particular planet from Earth". What comes to a British person's mind when he/she hears the term "planetside"?
