Mafia III Trailer

By kamorra Go To PostHey compadre, I paste the whole thing ok?

(the Mafia)
[TREATED AS SINGULAR OR PLURAL] An organized international body of criminals, operating originally in Sicily and now especially in Italy and the US and having a complex and ruthless behavioural code.

(mafia)
Any organized group of criminals resembling the Mafia in its way of operating:
the rise of criminal mafias in Russian and Eastern Europe
MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCES

(mafia)
A group regarded as exerting a hidden sinister influence:
the British literary mafia

I just assume it was a cut & paste mistake. Since words sometimes have important meaning and sometimes don't I might very well be wrong again. Either way I'm out. There is nothing good to gain here anymore.

By Moris Go To PostThat's what it seems like it boils down to, couple people are for some reason hung up over a word not meaning what they thought it did.

By kamorra Go To PostSounds harmless. If you believe that's the problem why making such a fuss about people not liking it? We know that this not what you think "these" people have a problem with. You apparently know your Italian better than me.

The term was originally applied to the Sicilian Mafia, but has since expanded to encompass other organizations of similar methods and purpose, e.g. "the Russian Mafia", "the Japanese Mafia", "the Albanian Mafia" or "Maltese Mafia".

You should let this go, its a dumb argument. The title could be 'Mafia' and be about a cop Protag taking down the irish mob. There's no reason to drag a semantics argument into this, especially one that clearly does not back up your complaint.
