The following was posted on the 1C forum earlier today. It disappeared within about 10 minutes. I would like to assure everyone that this post in meant to amuse and inform, rather then offend. If however you still feel the need to be offended, by all means let me know. The preferred methods being by "name calling" ,"thread flaming" or some variation thereof.

I know we have all waded through the seemingly endless steaming swamp of threads about the nearly bottomless pit (http://www.fugly.com/media/IMAGES/Random/bottomless_pit.jpg) of bugs (http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/sykonist/looney-tunes/256/Bugs-Bunny-Carrot-icon.png) (actual and imaginary) within CloD and other flight sims (http://lockon.co.uk/) of the past. These threads are generally filled with people whining about this flight model, or that exploit. Along with the wild dick-waving (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Dick%20Waving%20Contest), these "Luftwhiners" and "Sissyfire jocks" often enjoy spreading misinformation and wild speculation.

"Sissyfire jocks"
No wonder there isn't a heavy presence from the devs in here. I imagine they have to deal with the same thing in Russian (http://englishrussia.com/images/wedding_village/2.jpg), why go through it in two languages!
Anyway, to get back to my original t̶r̶o̶l̶l̶ point, the grave issue at hand!
For years I have watched as it spread through the flight sim community like glitter (http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kesha-house-of-blues-show-500x360.jpg) in an elementary school class room, or perhaps herpes (http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/kesha-house-of-blues-show-500x360.jpg) in a university dorm.
This most horrible affliction, that has many a time caused me to awaken late in the night, covered in the cold sweat. It goes seemingly unnoticed by the unwashed masses (http://www.danwitz.com/files/12-big-mosh-pit-2007-copy.jpg).

"Glitter and Herpes"
Are they afraid to speak up?
Or are they just so transfixed by the waving dicks of the posts mentioned above as to be oblivious?
I do not know.
But, I have kept my silence for too long!
This needs to end now before more people are hurt.
"Puppet, what is this most terrible plague?!"- You
"What could be so awful, Puppet, that it stirred you to write so much aimless rambling above?!"- Your Mom
Well, Ill just tell you dear.
This most AWFUL
DEPLORABLE
HEINOUS
and GROTESQUE of things!
Is the continuous use of this word by pilots approaching to land....
"FINALS"
Who the @#$% started this? Its nonsense (http://brainsyndicate.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/tom-cruise-scientology.jpg)! Since when is there more than one final leg to a circuit? You are either on final, or you are not on final. STOP SAYING FINALS. THERE IS NO S! You are driving me nuts!
The name of the final stage of the circuit is aptly named "final".

"The Circuit"
You may be "on final", "turning final", "approaching to join straight in final"
But you are never ever on "finals".
If you have, in the past have found yourself saying something along the lines of,
"RAF/.733T Scallywag on FINALS at Mansgate!"
STOP STOP STOP!
If your find yourself saying it again after reading this informative and enlightening little gem of a post, please, punch yourself in the face.
Not for yourself, but for Puppet, and anyone else like me that has nothing better to do than s̶p̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶r̶a̶n̶d̶o̶m̶ ̶n̶o̶n̶i̶s̶s̶u̶e̶s̶ educate the masses about important topics like this.
</Rant>
Thats it.
All I have to say.
Yes you have read all of that just to get here.
The time you spent reading this you will never get back.
Of course, if someone shows me some historical evidence that the use of the term "finals" was used by mainstream aviation at some point in the past, I will gladly retract my statement above.
