Which one and why?

TREKKER vs TREKKIE Why did trekkie become trekker?
Never understood the name change

 

[Oddish]

I still identify as a Trekkie.

So do I my friend-since 1975

I do not know whether it is intentional, but the poll seems to be made wrong.

That having been said, I do not care and I do not refer to myself with either names. I præfer to call myself an obsessive Garashir shipper, and little more.

Agree or disagree?

With what?

 

[fireproof78]

Trek fan.

So, disagree?

 

[Tosk]

It didn't change, just that each individual has their own opinion on it. Some think Trekkie is too mocking.

I have noticed many cases that many find such an ending on words patronizing.
I typically find it to sound rather cute, but that's all.

 

[Tim Thomason]

Agree or disagree?

With what?

Correct.

My understanding is that some folks thought "Trekker" was more dignified or serious or whatever.

Me, I'll be a Trekkie until the day I die.

In 1982 Ebert told Siskel that Trekker is preferred. Whatever. They each gave TWOK a thumbs up.

I say this every time this subject comes up (I believe we’re at 152 times):

A Trekker is a Trekkie who’s afraid to admit it.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Wow, I haven't heard either term in a long time. Personally I'm just a Star Trek fan.

 

[cooleddie74]

Trekkie.

But Miss Jackson if you're nasty.
