hahaha, I'm going to use all of these from now on ;) maybe all of them in the same sentence.
I conducted straightforward analysis during the game and said to myself, "if he castles kingside then I'll have ideas of pawnstorming." After conducting further analysis, however, I noticed that I could play castles kingside myself and have ideas of a minority attack. The rest was just a matter of technique.
hehe. nice.
I honestly don't see how that's annoying though. Oh well, people will be like that. If I plan on castling queenside I prefer to wait unless it's a Sicilian where black will usually castle kingside anyway (black castled queenside in the Sicilian during Suhle-Andersson in 1859 ^_^ )
When the term "castles" is just used. For example, pawn to E4, castles, then knight to E6...etc.
DON'T SAY "CASTLES". Don't PLURAL IT. PAST TENSE is grammatically correct. CASTLED. Important to use proper grammar in chess.
I have never seen "pawn moved", yet "pawn moves" looks very natural... someone writes on it too - http://goo.gl/o3LWIM and www.uk-cla.org.uk/files/proceedings/Simo.pdf
However I do agree that term "castles" is hideous and should be immediately replaced with "King does Rook".
"Horsey" instead of "Knight". Sounds like a baby.

'pony' is the preferred nomenclature. IM Daniel Rensch is responsible for the term's revival in popularity

I can't, in good coscious, call those abominations "ponies". Knights can be cool, like when they occupy the sixth or control the center, or they can... annoy you like the other guy having his on the sixth or fifth or fork a couple of pieces at seemingly unrelated squares.

Steed is the preferred term.
It's no worse than the phrase "quantumm leap"
:)
"Adjust" ..... why anglicize it?
Just say "J'adoube" or relax and stop touching everything.
