I'm not caught up on the symantics, im caught up in the syntax. GDDR5 is not DDR5 and is not called DDR5 and cannot be called DDR5. It already has the name GDDR5 and that relates to something very specific. This isn't liberal arts, trying to find meaning and give clever names to things. Fact is its GDDR5 no matter how its used, and calling it DDR5 is misleading and wrong. It is a WRONG statement. Nothing about that is up for discussion. Its just how it is wether you like it or not

Haha, that's precisely the kind of blinkered animosity I was describing. Syntax is the form of a sentence?? Semantics is the meaning, Syntax is form and the principles of structure. You are dealing with Semantics, not syntax, when you criticise the use of DDR5 in place of GDDR5. It's the meaning you have a problem with is it not?
I'm not sitting an exam with yes or no answers, I'm expressing ideas and thoughts in the shape of a discussion. If I expressed those ideas in a better way to more people using an innaccurate definition of a word, which would have hindered me and wasted my time if I'd used it correctly, then that would be a smart move.
If the great minds that have caused jumps in our evolution throughout the ages had thought like you, we would all be banging sticks together in caves grunting at one another still.
Also it is Semantics, not Symantics. Symantics alludes to symmetry of definition perhaps, a new word, ah the wonders of language ey.

I love how when you have no viable response to anything I've said you just repeat yourself like a parrot.
When a statement is more easily interpreted using a more commonly understood use of a word, whether that usage is technically accurate or not, it makes it the right choice. It's only "WRONG" for people like you, who pointlessly waste their time on meaningless semantics that have no bearing on anything.
