    Do you ever read "Dreg" as "Doug"?

    Poll Do you ever read "Dreg" as "Doug"? (140 votes)

    Yes 24%
    No 74%

    Does this happen to anyone else? The enemy label names for Dregs always read as "Doug" to me on first glance. I now just think of them as Dougs. I kind of like the idea of just giving random monsters such a plan name.

    Don't be crazy. Destiny doesn't have any proper nouns in the game, so such a mistake is impossible.

    I occasionally see it as Derg, and, in one rare case I mistook it for derp. The internet has fully infected my brain and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

    @noblenerf: Yup, everything is named just a noun. The only actual names in the game (atleast in the beta) are the legendary enemies with randomly generated names.

    I always read it as "Deng" as in basketball player Luol Deng. Something about the kerning on that font must screw my brain up.

    No, but the Gamespot Now Playing stream (here) had Mary Kish, Chris Watters and Shaun McGinnis on it and one of them thought it said Doug at first and then they were making Doug jokes the rest of the 4 hour stream. So I'll never forget that people COULD make that mistake, but I haven't personally.

    Mary might have said "show him the dougy" about a dozen times

    Yes, actually. On top of that and me and my brother ended up calling the Shanks "Skanks" when we first saw them and now we're just stuck with it.

    Well, I just read the title of this thread as 'Do you ever read "Dreg" as "Dong"?', so there you have it.

    Saw this thread earlier and thought "WTF is this poll about"?

    Forgot about it and started playing the Destiny beta.

    Wondered to myself, does anybody else sometimes read "Dreg" as "Doug"?

    Saw this thread again and LOLOLOLOL

    Yes! I actually laughed out loud when I saw this topic because I was playing it yesterday and said to my brother, "Sometimes I think it says 'Doug', but it says 'Dreg'"

    I wear glasses when I drive, but not when I play video games. Maybe I should start.

    I actually started the Beta sometime after I saw this thread title pop up on the forums. I thought this thread would predispose me to read "Dreg" as "Doug"... but I couldn't do it.

    Maybe it had the opposite effect and caused me to expect "Dreg" so I could only read it properly afterwards?

    No. Having said that I am going to make an effort to start calling them Doug in the hopes that it catches on in my head. Yelling obscenities at 'Doug' whenever I see one would make dealing with them pretty entertaining.
