It's GamBLing

I'm surprised to see El Reg of all people using the gamBLing industry's euphamistic marketing term "gaming" for what you, I and everyone in that industry knows is really "gambling".

Let's keep it real: "Gaming" is the playing of games, from PacMan to Doom to Halo to TrackMania; "GamBLing" is the throwing away of one's hard-earned dosh on the turn of a card or spin of a wheel.

What next? Will we see El Reg calling suicide bombers "martyrs", or referring to Sadville as "Second Life"?
