Well... just a dumb question... how do you normally write Rocks'n'Diamonds?

In my dictionary:
RND = random
RnD = Rocks'n'Diamonds
R&D = Research and Development

RnD is more better, what's more better is this...

R'n'D... or not... :oops:

I can nearly agree here (although the title screen still says "Rocks & Diamonds"). Especially "RND" is internally (in the code) both used for "random" (there's a function "RND()", which is the predictable random number generator for the main game engine) and also as a game engine abbreviation, together with BD, EM, SP, SB etc. But it still reminds me of the "random number" function of old BASIC days... :-)

If you ask for a "canonical" abbreviation, I would vote for (and always use) -- guess what?

> RnD is more better, what's more better is this...

Exactly right! Although "R'n'D" is a bit harder to type, I see it as the "correct" abbreviation for "Rocks'n'Diamonds". :-)

But then, if we can identify it, it's OK, so it doesn't matter much... ;-)

Great poll! :D

RND and RnD....sometimes R&D, and once R'n'D

I seem to spell it differently all the time.....

I've even used SNB (snakebite) God, I'm lazy :)
