+42at42 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Being an anglophone living in Canada, I have to choose words properly when we use French words in the English language. I might get extradited to Quebec to face the language police. They exist, google it. I was wondering if this hobby should be renamed: Geocacher, Geochercher, and Geotrouver. hide seek find Because cacher without the chercher never becomes trouver. it might make for a long website name though www.geocachergeocherchergeotrouver.com Oh never mind, I'll take my chances with the language police, I don't feel like typing in that long of a URL.

+kunarion Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Because cacher without the chercher never becomes trouver. I think the term is expanded to cover hide/seek/find and even "Did Not Find" (the point when we have ceased to seek, for now). We say "we're going caching" to mean that we're spending some time seeking geocaches. So maybe the term will be added to the lexicon, and, with luck, we'll never have to say "geochercher" ever again.
