It just seems like someone wanted a synonym of brief to dress up their headline so they just looked it up based on it's first definition without knowing it's common usage.

I get so worked up by "news" organizations paying no mind to this kind of thing. I mean, it's bad enough every blog article I've ever read, practically, needs to be spell-checked. But this I find it misleading.]]>May 31st 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/May 31st 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/May 31st 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/

it doesn't matter what the dictionary says, not bad. there's nothing more painful to watch than someone who can't back down from the wrong side of an argument. it's called "perverse." look it up in the dictionary, which of course doesn't matter. ]]>May 31st 2008 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/
My friend: I have 2 degrees from ivy-league schools. I am a grammar Nazi. I am the guy that calls people on their mis-use of the language. The way that word is used here is outdated and no longer used. Sorry if that's hard for you to accept, but it's the truth.]]>May 31st 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/
To put it tersely: You are an idiot.

To be less terse: That's what's truly difficult for one of us to accept. Terse means brief. The only way it acquires a negative connotation is in context. (See, e.g., "To put it tersely: You are an idiot.") The word itself means brief. It means brief throughout the English-speaking world today. Perhaps one day there will be enough like-minded idiots who think the word carries an inherent negative connotation. When that glorious age arrives, dictionaries abandon their anachronisms and victory will be yours. But until then, you're just a guy with 2 ivy-league degrees who doesn't know what the word "terse" means.]]>May 31st 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/31/msi-wind-gets-terse-pre-release-review/

I'm certainly not going to make the snap purchase of an off-brand product from MSI when I can wait and get something better from Dell. What? MSI isn't "off-brand"?
