I type the url into the
address bar (use the correct terminology you pleb) almost all of the time. I have zero bookmarks and use Google for pretty much everything else. Using the correct operators I can find pretty much anything I'm looking for, hell it often works better than site-specific search functions. As an example check out
Fakku's query results versus
Google's query results.
Url, Uniform Resource Locator, is also known as a Web Address.
Saying to type the Web Address into the Address Bar feels redundant and unnecessary.
Fuck off kid.

The term 'web address' refers specifically to an URL visible on the internet. Not all URLs (URIs) are web addresses and you can type in more than just Web Addresses into the address bar you fucking moron. Developers labeled the bar appropriately for a reason, in every piece of Mozilla, Google's and Microsoft's documentation it will
always be referred to as the
address bar[i].
Except that has no relation to the question I was asking in the poll and you are the little twit that thinks it's important I be redundant because some company has documentation that lists it specifically which has no bearing on me whatsoever.
I'll keep it short for you.
Saying to just type the URL in, that's not wrong. I'm just not stating what you are typing it in because it is not necessary for people to understand what I am saying.
This isn't even a question on what is the proper terms; it would be a question on proper grammar which nothing is violated as it is an understood idea. Herp derp somewhere else.
If this is the case why did you feel the need to reply to me saying I was wrong in the first place? Don't attempt to debate with someone and then dodge out of it just because you were shown up, at least have the balls to admit you were wrong. For someone who goes around calling other people kids you handled the situation very immaturely
Clearly you don't care for or understand the conventions of the English languages, why it's important to appropriately clarify what you're talking about and why it's important to use the correct terminology. People like you are the cancer that's killing the English language.
Yeah no. There was no need to clarify and it actually creates redundancy (what I said originally) to clarify. And you were the one who felt the need to try and correct me on something that was unnecessary so yeah.
Or do you seriously go "I'm going to go watch a movie at the movie theater?" for clarification. Because if you add in the part about watching it at a movie theater then you're needlessly adding in information that is already understood. The only time you would alter that is if what you are doing is outside of what is already understood. "I'm going to go watch a movie at home." In this case the added information is needed to create proper understanding.
If you constantly clarify needlessly understood information you created bloated wording. In terms of literary works this will lead to what is known as purple prose in which you go beyond what is needed to display an idea. It's the unneeded clarification that is cause for a lot of bad writing.
The only time you would clarify anything to such a degree is if you were writing in a scientific format. But this is done purposely due to the need to be replicated in science. So any document that takes a scientific format is going to have high levels of clarification beyond that of normal conversation.
So go fuck yourself with your attitude kid. It's bad conversation to talk like a faux-scientific dick.
I'm well aware of what [i]technical writing is.
Most people watch movies at home on their computer or rent a video from a store. When someone says "I'm going to go watch a movie" it is not a pre-conceived notion that the location is a movie theatre, just your flaky assumption. I'll give you credit for at least trying to support your argument with something not ripped from Wikipedia though.
What I was asking you to do is not an example of purple prose, not even in the least. Purple prose is when writing is so elaborate and ornate that it draws exorbitant amounts of attention to itself and breaks the flow of what you're trying to get across. In no way does adding the location of what you're typing the URI into do this.
This is an example of purple prose:
"He wrapped a long, thin finger around the sturdy handle of the shiny black receptacle. Slowly, he hoisted the ceramic vessel to his pale pink lips. The steaming liquid rolled acridly around his sensitive tongue, evoking an involuntary reaction to the South American beverage's bitter taste. The liquid was a stark black, reflecting the pale glow from the screen of his rectangular computer monitor. His concerned green eyes darted from one serifed letter to another, drinking in each words meaning as purposefully as he drank in his coffee."
vs.
"He rose a cup to his lips and took a sip, reflexively cringing at the coffee's bitterness. He kept the cringe on his face as he read through the morning's news."
