Stop calling it "Bladerunner"

I'm tired of seeing this. People keep calling Blade Runner "Bladerunner". That's like saying "Star Track" instead of Star Trek.

Is it really this difficult? Really??

Hahahahahaaaaha!!!! :lol:

I know what you mean, deleted. It's almost as annoying as New Yorkers putting an S after every business name. Best Buys. Great Adventures. Barnes and Nobles.

What I hate are those promos that say "Harrison Ford is Blade Runner"...

...no he isn't!!! :?

Back in '82, they said: "Harrison Ford is the Blade Runner".

I wanna know who changed this, and why!

Yes it is. Consider that Blade Runner is printed BLADERUNNER. Logically the correct translation into proper English would either be: -Bladerunner or Blade Runner.

So, which is it?

-or is it the incredibly incorrect BladeRunner???

:lol:

Besides, he is BladeRunner! He say you are BladeRunner!! LOL
