Ork or Orc?????

[Legendsmith]

I think this picture adequately summarizes the basic argument behind the only correct answer.

What are the chances you post the same image directly after me?

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Orc, or if you want to be alternative, orque'.

 

[badgersprite]

Orc.

Ork makes me think of Mork. oO (I must have been ninja'd by now.)

Apparently it's pretty high. Great minds think alike and all that.

 

[paragon1]

Who cares? They're all bunch rampaging brutes that need to be slaughtered! The k changes nothing!

 

[scrambledeggs]

Isn't it orcious?

 

[Kurokami]

Well I know I'm probably opening the flood gates here but...

Do you say Ork or Orc??

And before you ask there is a difference.

Ork is mostly from 40K. the space faring brutes that live for WAAAAGH, who MADE FER FIGHTN' AND WINNIN'

and Orc is from WoW and Tolkenesk fantasy (LOTR).

So, what do you say?

I spell it Orc, but I think Ork looks better tbh.

 

[Nieroshai]

Tolkien kimself said that Orc was a type of goblin, and Ork was a type of whale. Obvious misspelling, or did they really call them that back then? It's mentioned in the foreword of some editions of The Hobbit.

Ork, LOTR is overrated.

Well he developed and popularized the term from Old English terminology. If he hadn't written his books we would have never even known what an orc was.

Damn, I gotta stop falling for trolls...

Anyway

OT: It is Orc, the word was created from and Old English word and popularized by Tolkien. It is even "Orc" in Beowulf. Orc is an english word, so even if you spell it/pronounce it differently in your country it is still originally "Orc".

So because my opinion isnt the same as yours im a troll? Idiot.

 

[latenightapplepie]

Orc. Looks nicer.

 

[Folio]

Warhammer Fantasy has Orc's... who are ALSO FUR FIGHTIN' and WINNIN' and go WAAAAGH.

No, because there is absolutely no reason to just throw in the fact that you feel "LotR is overrated", you could have expressed your opinion fine without that statement, which you obviously put in so you would get quoted and have something to do for 5 minutes.

Also, I continue to fall for your trickery because you incited my response by calling me an "idiot" which is also unnecessary to express your opinion.

Seems like trolling to me. Please resist the urge to quote me and respond, I am addicted to responding to trolls and you are definitely an enabler...so do me a favor and help me stop the addictive cycle.

OT: I will say it again, it is Orc.

I see what you're doing here, nice try troll. All you are doing is finding a short comment wich doesnt take forever to read that states my opinion on the matter and then you start to trying make me look like a troll. As there is no reason for me expressing my opinion on the matter, theres no need for your opinion or your trolling. Go back to your cave.

 

[Direwolf750]

should've been a poll, and versus threads are frowned upon. Still gotta say orc

 

[Burningsok]

I've never seen it spelled with a k. So yes I spell it with a c.

 

[meglathon]

Boold and Thunder , my life FOR THE HORDE
ORC

no, your not a troll. It's not like your acting like a snotty 12 year old. However, I would like to know why you think LOTR is overrated.

Ork is how orcs spell it actually, orc is the 'common' spelling. Warhammer uses Ork, because Orks there just are much more vocal about their rights, majority of fantasy uses Orc, because in majority of fantasy orcs are just canon fodder *nods*

Itz bin all dem politikz dey messin' with dem orkses but wez 'nowz dat orkses are neva' beaten in battle.

Have you ever read a book called "Grunts"? It's a witty look at Orcs that are basically the cannon fodder of the "Forces of Dark" with a medieval setting. They raid a dragon's cache, hearing about these "Ultimate" weapons that can be found, and they find helicopters, shotguns, automatic rifles, all kinds of stuff. It's interesting

ORK! GREEN IS BEST!

Orc, being a Lord of the Rings fan.
