PR's vs. PB's

Last time I checked the language you are attempting to use was called 'English' so I think I know who I would trust to spell things correctly. Don't even get me started on f***ing abominations such as aluminum or organize...And while I am at it, PB is definitely the way to go, personal record is just too wanky.

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

What do you say?

PB = peanut butter. i prefer crunchy over creamy.

PB = Personal Best

I know, that's why I'm asking if you say Personal Best or Personal Record.

I guess I meant where does PB come from? It sounds funny to me.

I think PR is mostly used by Americans...much like the mile/2 mile instead of 1500/3000m. We have to be different in every possible way.

Personally, I say "All time best", or ATB for short.

They mean the same thing obviously but I personally like PR. It sounds better and rolls off the tougue better.

Canadians say PB

PR > PB

Personal Best > Personal Record

yes he is saying if you actually say "personal best" that is sounds better than "personal record" but that "PR" sounds better than "PB"

Personal record sounds so incredibly lame and new age. What the hell is the point of a record if it's the best you could do? Personal best sounds a little less egotistic.

I just call them WR's

Hahahaha! Priceless, Bekele. Post Of The Day.

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.

I say PB. The first time I heard PR in this context I thought it sounded weird. To me PR means public relations or proportional representation.

I say PETSFB...figure it out.

Why should we try to figure it out, your name says it all.
