This word bothers me...

Not no one, just a few who refuse to see.
I've been playing a word game with my sister and my roommate (who is a major word smith) watches and throws fits about a lot of the words. Some are modern slang that have been brought into common usage. Others he's just unfamiliar with and refuses to accept he was ignorant about the word.
What's really funny is when I use a crossword filler word that he taught me and he throws a fit because he's automatically against anything on the internet.
how funny is this thread? 
A tad off topic but....... One of my work colleagues (we're both building surveyors) was talking to a client and mentioned the gable end of his house. The client took umbrage and said 'did you just call me a gay bell-end'. a long and embarassing conversation then took place explaining what a gable was.
Words are great.

K bye, duush. Next time you attempt to school someone make sure you know what you're talking about, so as to IMPEDE all of this futile resistance and such.
Here is my personal take on the three words in question: "ohmage", "resistance" and "impedance". Resistance is a simple number that normally applies to DC (non-phased) circuits and is measured in Ohms. Impedance is a complex number that normally applies to AC (phased) circuits and is also measured in Ohms. Ohmage is a generic word used to describe the measured or calculated Resistance of a DC Circuit OR the measured or calculated Impedance of an AC circuit. Since Ohmage is the generic version of these words it is generally less used in favor of one of the more specific words. This does not meant that it is incorrect, slang, or wrong.
In the context of this website it doesn't really matter as long as people are watching the number and know what it means to be safe. We are not building semiconductors or anything. 
No, I think the op thinks that saying "ohmage" is like saying "i need some foodage" if one is hungry, or etc. Adding "age" to random things is used in slang often, and I agree it can be obnoxious.
But ohmage is a legitimate expression of measurement, much like voltage, mileage etc. I don't understand what is so difficult to accept about that.

I agree but it's no where near as obnoxious as "my bad". Nothing grates on my nerves more than someone saying that and expecting it to be considered as an apology.
I don't know about the rest of you but I REFUSE to put punctuation into the quote...
My teacher always said "the punctuation goes inside the quote."
NOT!!!
I say "the punctuation goes OUTSIDE the quote".
I don't care what they say about it.

Now this issue has been resolved, can somebody define the word "pwnage"?

But what if I ask, "Did you say, "My teacher always said "the punctuation goes inside the quote."?"?
