Carabineer or Carbineer. I figure the latter but the Devs insist on the former. Please correct the title of this thread to reflect its true spelling.

It is "carabineer". The typo is in the game, not the forums.

seeing as how the french want to BAN all english words from their dialect (such as "email") i'd rather go with Carbineer.

The only spelling that is incorrect is 'Carbinier' all the rest are valid spellings of the word.

LOL Gondo. Just goes to show you how illiteracy transforms itself into being correct when enough people mispell it often enough.

Incidentally, if you use webster's which I think one person here did, it doesn't even have an entry for "carbineer".
