That should be the auto paint job for anyone with a negative sec status.
That should be the defacto paint job for carebears  You mean default? |

That's not really the sense of it that most people recognize, I think.
My non-dictionary definition would be "not the thing, but so close that it might as well be the thing".
So you're saying it is so close to the carebear paintjob that it might as well be it. Doesn't make sense to me.

Well I think your non-dictionary definition is actually more fitting again. In fact, its perfect!
Saying it is so close to a carebear paintjob that it might as well be, makes sense to me. Its like an optional extra, where as
default is a standard.
Default / defacto... 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

It was a weird choice of word. Technically correct, but not great if you're trying to promote reader comprehension. |

That is a really terrible definition of "defacto". Not the least since its wrong (a common law husband and wife would be a de jure relationship, a de facto relationship would be an unrecognized girlfriend/boyfriend situation with no official recognition) De facto is the "opposite" of de jure. Where "de facto" means "in fact" and "de jure" means "in law" So when people say "de facto" they typically mean "that is true in all but law". And when people say "de jure" they typically mean "that is the law, but it may or may not be true" As in "flannel was the de facto uniform of Seattle musicians in the early 90s". There might not have been a law that said so, but it was the uniform. The sentence it was used in here, it makes no fucking sense, because the context was asking for enforcement from CCP, rather than some fantasy like "Oh man, i wish people would break out into song and dance like musicals"  Woo, bandwidth leaching. |

I'm still abstaining from the original issue. This is a new one. But now it's time to be quiet about the second issue. |
