What gets me is people talking about their cameras as if they are cars belonging to 18 year olds. I went out to take photos with my D7200rs, yes the one with moded full blown turbo and twin 3" exhausts. My Ssangyong 18 lens"e" with the alloy end caps was flying.

Sat through plenty of those myself over the years. The joy of retirement - I haven't been to a meeting for years!
Oohhh, where shall I start?
I'm with you on both 'stunning' (the most overused word in photography today) and 'capture', but I have to throw in 'editing' used when people mean 'processing'.
I'm well known for falling asleep in meetings at work. I look forward to them!
Now I have a quandary do I write a diatribe about said button or just hit the damned "like" buttonI have to say I was against adding that damned button for just that reason,
The trick is not to snore!
And another thing: people who put their entire gear list in their signature as if it's a list of awards and qualifications, especially the ones with Canon kit who change the font colour to red for their L lenses. Blatant camera porn show offs
(Now where did I out my tin hat?)

Should be fixed now, dumb edit functionsAnd another: people who change the font colour to black so that people who view in "night" style can't read the message.

On an Internet forum?However, I'm quite willing to change my mind if offered a convincing principled argument.
I started 'processing' digital image files around 1980. Back then you couldn't buy a digital camera. The easiest way of acquiring digital images was to use a video camera and run the output signal through a large expensive box which digitised it. You couldn't buy digital image processing programs either. I had to wrote my own, which I did in Pascal in a Three Rivers (ICL) PERQ which had a massive 64KB of disc hard drive. The images were 256x256 8 bit monochrome pixels. Back then I also developed and enlarged my own monochrome film images. The process of printing out a big sheet of tiny 35mm images, selecting the best, and marking them up with desired changes which were then done in the darkroom was known as image editing. It was the obvious analogy with scribbling the desired changes all over a printed draft of a document and then using a text editing program to make the required changes. The early word processors were generalised developments of the source code editors which computer programmers had long been using to edit their program source code.
That's why I call all the image file processing programs I use "image editors" and why I call using them "image editing". I call it editing when what I'm doing is an interactive process of making and reviewing changes to an image. I call it processing when it's a completely automated process that works on the image all by itself, without my supervision or interference, while I simply wait for the result. That's why I'm sticking to my usage of such phrases as "image editing". However, I'm quite willing to change my mind if offered a convincing principled argument.
You've given your convincing argument when you say: "The process of printing out a big sheet of tiny 35mm images, selecting the best, and marking them up with desired changes which were then done in the darkroom was known as image editing."
Exactly, Editing pictures is a selection process. What is then done to the selected (edited) pictures isn't editing.
Unless you do a second edit to thin the selection further.
I'm with you on this one, most infuriating to see a photograph of something and not be told who/what/where is.I hate it when people post photographs ( captures?) and don't say where it is in the case of landscapes/scenes or what it is in the case of vehicles/aircraft.
Is it too much to ask for a short description of what and where
Could we have that again, in the Queen's English this time, please?Autocorrections - or rather, people who are either too lazy to check their posts after auto cowrecks has done its worst on them or (even worse IMO) don't care.
Yes: where I work we used to have a director whose first name was Prashant: his PA would often send out department-wide updates and round-ups on his behalf where 'Prashant' had been auto corrected to 'Peasant'. We did hoot: more on the many subsequent occasions than the first.Some people allow their devices to "correct" their typing but then trust it to do it properly. The most recent example I've seen is where JPEG has been "corrected" to Joel. Most of the corrections can be tailored - unrecognised words can be added etc..

One has to edit to create an edit.It all depends on whether the word edit is being used as a noun, or as a verb.

The CEO of Talk Talk used to be Dido Harding, when emailing her to complain about the service, I must admit to reading through a few times, "just in case"My sister's oldest brat started to call me Nob (much to its mother's amusement) so I started calling it Harlot instead of Charlotte - soon cured it of the Nob nonsense!
With writing, editing involves correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation and any other issues the publisher thinks might need correcting. It is not just selecting.You've given your convincing argument when you say: "The process of printing out a big sheet of tiny 35mm images, selecting the best, and marking them up with desired changes which were then done in the darkroom was known as image editing."

If you read a poorly published novel, it rapidly becomes clear that most publishers no longer employ copy editors.
