Kollin007 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Does it make sense when people say "Refs" ? Example: "Is 7 Refs for that Misc okay? It really annoys me. How do you feel about it? Do you say "Refs" or just plain out "Ref" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Salesman Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 *Make The terms are pretty interchangeable, ref is basically just saying refined which can or cannot be plural, and refs is just the plural of that shortening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3athompson Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It's not technically correct, because you are talking about 7 units of refined metal, but I don't really care. It's an item, and the colloquialism for a unit of refined metal is just "refined", so calling multiples "refineds", or refs for short, is fine in my book.

v³ Unknown NO FEAR Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seriously annoyed at that. And it helps me determine how smart they are as a trader/person. (Don't ask me why but I really consider someone to be either stupid or has English as a second language in order for them to say "refs" without cringing.)
