... and in GP3 they are called "bitmaps". Stephen

Oh I see what you mean now, "round-round" and not "sort-of round" I have had a look at the screen shots and yes the tyres in these pics do have an undeniable roundness about them!

In South Africa, they are so,etimes referred to as "Takkies" running shoes are also called "Takkies". Being a ex-pat pom I'm not really sure why, maybe an Afrikaans word or something. "Schlomo4" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Well, they are usually polygons because curved surfaces are hard to draw and use a lot of resources. Except in MTM2, where they are actually round. Haven't you noticed? Slot "Chris Bloom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

TYRES

Yes...and a tire iron is actually a "tar arn" Chris

Well, they are usually polygons because curved surfaces are hard to draw and use a lot of resources. Except in MTM2, where they are actually round. Haven't you noticed? Slot

Glenn Andressen wrote in message <[email hidden]>... >So why do Yanks spell it "tires" when they say "taares"? Sounds like you are referring to the Southern US pronunciation of the word. Rest assured that people from the Southern US don't cotton to being called "Yanks" since that is short for "Yankees", who are people from the Northern US, specifically the NorthEast. Those are the same folks the Southerners tried unsuccessfully to beat during the American Civil war. Even in the NorthEast US, where I am, there will be a disparity in the way the word is pronouced. People in Boston might say "tiyahs" where folks from the other end of the same state (Massachusetts) will say it correctly (according to a dictionary, anyway.) ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
