PR's vs. PB's

PB for me. PR seems egocentric.

Ever see the movie "Independence Day"? Don't you love the scene where the ships attack and they show all the other countries waiting to see what the United States is going to do? How is the US going to save the world??? Pretty sad.Anyway, I try to us PB.

the rest of the world calls them PB's. Look at Oly results or any IAAF results, when people run their fastest times they habe a PB beside their name. The US is also the only country that uses feet when measuring throws and jumps... LOOK OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY FOR ONCE!!! We aren't the centre of the universe.

Yeah that's funny but it's meant as a self aware joke. The film is largely a spoof after all.

I always figured that PR was your all time best when a PB was a seasonal thing.

No, a seasonal best is called a YB or SB.

I bet that even people who use PB will tell you after a great race that they "PRed". It sound better than saying "I PBed".

I say PR's. What is PB, some British thing?

What do you say?

I can't believe this person would even ask this. Americans are so ignorant sometimes.

Sounds "better"?

Just sounds different. It's only a couple of letters.
