You should know by now that this means it's never going to happen.

"map" also works

as long as the word sorta makes sense

you could say "map a song" or "chart a song" or "design a level for a song"
but you shouldn't say "step a song" or "stomp a song" or "dance a song"

Sure. Let's also have all the files have doubled BPMS, have one miss mean you fail, and have the speed scroll not be in your control. Also your note skin is changed every file to whatever the author wants.

Also, it can't be synced right. Ever.

Good game rite?

I wouldn't say anything, but a step chart is pretty inaccurate when you're going for FFR because there isn't anyone I know who is crazy enough to play the game,on pad predominantly. Just because it derives off Stepmania doesn't really mean you have to reference it. FFR is it's own game with different options and judge windows. Charts for the two games (Unless it's like Thinking Of You or something like Intersect and BB Revenge ect) are pretty different too.

I usually call them simfiles or just chart or file myself though.

Note that I never demanded anyone to switch. I simply suggested it and explained my reasoning. I don't care if you don't use the right terminology, it doesn't make me mad nor will I chase after you. But when you act so defensively for something so trivial without any reason you look like an idiot.

I don't care what words you use, but I suggest that this is a better alternative. Am I in any way wrong?

the term that more people tend to use and that does not cause confusion is the actual correct term, not one that is prescribed

you're not wrong at all by saying charting, you're wrong by correcting people who say stepping

This is a public service announcement to remind people to try to remember to use "etc" and "et cetera" instead of "ect" or "ec tetera". For example, "When stepping a file remember to have it synced, and be fun, and dynamic, etc." or "To be a good stepper you need patience, persistence, a decent musical ear, et cetera."

Turning FFR into an adaption of a click game rather than a dance game.

Except it doesn't cause confusion, because regardless of whether I use "chart" or "step" everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Which is why I'm not wrong for suggesting people switch.

Any other reason besides comfort out of habit?

From the OP:

we need to start making the transition to break away from the connotation of being some adaptation of a dance game

I honestly can't tell if you're just trolling people at this point lmao. For someone who supposedly doesn't care you went through all the effort to make a thread and are still arguing your point. You can care all you want but don't expect anyone else to.
