No, this is bold-faced.

Bald-faced = brash; undisguised.

(Technically, both are correct.)

Stop picking fights in our forum!

PS: About 23 hours from original post to response, plus 2 devs for the price of one. Not bad.

So perhaps Tiggs is right and we're not totally forgotten. Thanks for the sliver of hope.

Tiggs and TH must share an office, as they browse the forums, they say who they think the whingers are and chuckle lightly to themselves.

The the troll down to the "P" proffessions and go

holy hell look at the whiners in the Pistoleer and Pikeman forums, ahhh lets go down to "R" so we can see the happy Rifleman, then Swordsman, then TKMs on the server.

As a side note...I didn't think TH was ever going to post in here again. Hehe. Hi Tiggs.

As annelid0 said, both are correct -- this is one of those terms that's been used both ways for so long now that the dictionary makers have just given up and started including both versions.

For the record, however, the Oxford English Dictionary lists only "bold-faced," with the first listed usage coming from Shakespeare: "Prowd desire Of bold-fac't Victorie." (Henry VI, 1591) So if you prefer "bold-faced," you're certainly not wrong.

Another example of this kind of thingis "homing in" on something versus "honing in" -- the former is actually more correct (taken from military usage, as in "homing pigeon"), but the latter has been used so many times now that it's generally accepted.

You say "snowstorm," they say "windstorm." (AndI say, "Why are you talking like Dan Rather?")

*claps*

Ugh..awake again in 5 hours....

Why am I here? Oh yeah, in order to go to sleep. What? Now I'm not even making sense to myself. I think I need to think before I type or even open my eyes to see what I'm typeing. Ah well, I'm sure nothing TOO bad could come of it. Crap...now I have to open my eyes to see the whole thing with the submit button and *ramble ramble*

Oh yeah, hello Tiggs!

Tiggs is going about it a-b-c style. Shes at the 'b' right now so expect to wait a bit longer for a post as 'p' comes after 'cdefghijklmno' which im sure includes a bunch of professions before pikes.
