Topic: Tag Alias: pc -> computer

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

This seems like it could easily be confused for something else as well, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So, since I don't think it's likely to cause any major problems being mistaken for something else and it is a common and widespread term for a computer, this alias is approved.

PC is RPG lingo for Player Character, but that should be tagged as Player (Or some alias that fits better) instead.

I've seen that one before, but I haven't seen it here. That one is more likely to end up tagged fan_character anyways.

It also refers to "politically correct", but there isn't a whole lot of politics on this site anyways, so I doubt that would be a problem.

Gosh, I was tired when I wrote that, so I rambled. What I meant was that I looked through all of the images tagged with pc and was pleasantly surprised to see all of them were being used only to tag computers. I was expecting some "politically correct" usage, and maybe some other abbreviation uses like "player character" but there were none. That's why I felt safe aliasing it to --> computer. If the tag had been more mixed in usage, I probably would have tagged it out and then invalidated it instead. Abbreviations can be tricky when it comes to aliases. But in this case, the uses under it were very consistent, so we should be ok.
