DarkladyLexy 288 Posted August 2, 2017 This is more of curiosity but does anyone know who started the whole calling "Classic Skyrim Oldrim"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechAngel85 73 Posted August 2, 2017 "Oldrim", as far as I can tell, came from the lot over on Reddit. People are lazy and will use the shortest term they can come up with. I personally hate the term and never use it. I always use "classic Skyrim" in conversation. As far as I know, I was among the first group to start using "classic Skyrim" over "oldrim". I'd love to kill the term off, but it's the Internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabepo 10 Posted August 2, 2017 I really don't like the term "Oldrim", and I'm also not too keen on "classic Skyrim".I prefer Skyrim 2011 and Skyrim 2016. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechAngel85 73 Posted August 2, 2017 I really don't like the term "Oldrim", and I'm also not too keen on "classic Skyrim".I prefer Skyrim 2011 and Skyrim 2016.For "Skyrim Special Edition", I just simply use "Skyrim SE" or "SSE" for short because that's its name. A lot of mod authors seem to be attaching "SE" to the end of their ported mods, as well, to signify the different versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 67 Posted August 3, 2017 I sometimes get the feeling I'm swimming upstream against a tsunami, but I don't like the term either. I refer to them as Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition, but I'm over the hill and dislike acronyms because I think acronyms are a hindrance to clear communication. When someone writes CRF I always have to stop to think for a few minutes which of the many variations1 of CRF is being referred to in this context. 1 https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/CRF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I work for a company that love acronyms. I've been in that very spot many times asking or wondering what the heck the company is referring to. Other times I have no idea what the acronym stands for, but I know what process it's referring to. For example... APOT. I have no idea what the acronym stands for, but in my company it's referring to the percentage of transactions completed using a company credit card vs another form of payment.
