Do casters call it Comstat? God I hope it’s just casters I haven’t encountered, not something common that I’d never noticed but after this thread will now torture me in every broadcast. | ||

I hadn’t really thought much of what Comsat meant until you shockingly revealed people can’t read tooltips properly. Assuming it just stands for Communications Satellite? | ||

Edit: I don't really think so, I'm just trying to reduce the pain I feel. I've been misled. | ||

I've been misled. Of course you didn’t really, no sane human would. Also Comsat just flows nicer as a word than its unspeakable cousin. | ||

Assuming it just stands for Communications Satellite? Communications Satellite Station is how I read it in long form too. Not sure where an extra T would fit in with this interpretation. Edit: I'm not sure how this is an English language issue either. It's the first three letters of each word. Please explain if possible. | ||

That would be redundant. | ||
