I would think that you would get I'm not joking and that you should figure out a new way to shorten it down.

I see nothing wrong with "MS" being used as a shorthand for Mangekyou...
...DF.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
When you know a person that has it you will understand. It reminds those that either have it or know someone that has it is in pain.
it would be unfair to ask them to look past their emotions so you can shorthand two words

Because him shortening two words into abbreviations which happen to have a bad connotation in your opinion means he has to cater it so it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings on an internet forum?
Im with Deadfire.
MS will always be Multiple Sclerosis...
Everytime I read 'Itachi has MS' I think: so? leave the pure bastard alone with his problems...
Seriously... are you people so damn lazy you can't write Mangekyou Sharingan?
Will you next say the 'U' clan was killed by 'UI' when he gained his superior 'S'???
I play WoW, and when I see MS, I always think Mortal Strike. Does that make me an asshole that I don't think about Multiple Sclerosis when I see that abbrevation? I sure as hell don't think so. Is multiple sclerosis a bad thing? Yeah, it is but I wouldn't go and correlate it with how someone else abbreviates their anime terms, however bad connotation it has. If someone said his name was Adolf, or Hitler you'd think about Adolf Hitler but I'm sure most of you wouldn't go up to a person named Adolf, and say "I'm Jewish, and your name given to you at birth insults me as well as many other people at the sound of your name, please change it right this instant."
If you want people to stop using MS as an abbreviation, maybe you should have implied it a bit more politely rather than trying to be a smartass? Hmm....?
And like Animus said, because it affects one or 2 people out of many, I'm not going to cater to you. Yes I am too lazy to type out mangekyou sharingan.
Maybe you should psychologically re-work your mind so when you see MS on this forum it means Mangekyou Sharingan and not Multiple Sclerosis.
I've seen close ones to be pass away... Maybe the world should stop making movies/shows with people dying because everytime I see it, it makes me think about my lost ones.

Wow! You must REALLY hate Microsoft then.
Looks like DF got caught on a lame joke, and now he's making up reasons how it wasn't a joke and why we should all be sorry for not liking a lame joke.
Anyway, I don't think Kakashi can deduct the side-effects from MS based on his experience with regular S. Just because they are both eye effects, doesn't mean they are similar. After all, S lets you examine and dissect genjutsu and ninjutsu techniques, and MS applies genjutsu techniques (as far as we've seen, it may be useful for other techniques too). Not really the same thing.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Personally, I haven't shortened Mangekyou Sharingan once in this thread, but I still think you're making a deal of this. I know someone with TB, but every time I see that acronym, I don't start telling people not to use it. You're being a bit too sensitive about this, especially since "MS" is a pretty legitimate shortcut to writing out a particularly long foreign word. You sound like the Mizuki quote in Assertn's sig, dude...
Whatever. I didn't want to derail further, but IMO that was a pretty ridiculous thing to say.
I agree it works in this context as well. He either said it literally to taunt Itachi, or he was hinting at something not yet revealed to the viewers. What that could be though, I guess we'll find out. In any case, I still don't buy that Itachi's afraid of him having Mangekyou Sharingan.I kinda assumed Kakashi's "how bad has your eyesight become" question was metaphorical, as a way to reveal that Itachi has neglected to notice something.
Yes, but he's not deducing the effect of Mangekyou based on his experiences with his own Sharingan. He figured them out for the reasons he stated in the episode. He could have been dead wrong, but Itachi's reaction clarified this reasoning.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Yep I agree completely. I was just arguing against what some people said about how Kakashi must have deduced MS's effects on the eyes based on his experience with S. Therefore, he must have researched or had first-hand experience with MS and its effects on the eyes. After he got owned by Itachi in their last encounter, I would expect that he researched everything known about MS, and that's how he knows more about it, without actually knowing how to do the technique.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I'm declaring this conversation over. I don't care what you call it, how you abbreviate it or what your personal feelings are about Mangekyou Sharingan, but this is getting stupidly off-topic. If you don't have something to say about this episode of Naruto Shippuuden, please refrain from posting further in this thread.
Thank you and let's get back to what we're all here for.

Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
