LOL!  That's one of my biggest pet peeves as well :smileytongue:

I've always called it Aggro.<BR><BR>But I do agree, I HATE it when people say argo.

<DIV>Agro is pretty bad too, being a prefix for things related to agriculture.  The proper word is aggro, which originated as british slang and is in most dictionaries.  It is also about twice as common in reference to everquest (try googling "agro everquest" and "aggro everquest."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I can play with dictionary.com too.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Ashtaroth on <span class=date_text>04-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:18 AM</span>

I agree with Ash when I played a warrior in everquest we always called it Aggro.  Agro just looks funny to me, but its been a term singed into my brain since I started playing EQ back in '99.

Aggro.  Mad mobs. Agro.  Mad cows. You decide. <div></div>

Even when they do, the next line of text by that person is usually "whoops meant aggro."</P> <p>Message Edited by English Da Guard on <span class=date_text>04-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>04:00 PM</span>
