i was in line at the drug store this evening. near the checkout, they've got a fixture of one of the eighty million guitar hero knockoff games that have sprung up. the box proclaims that there are just three steps to rocking out:

1. practice!
2. rehearse!
3. perform!

O.O

maybe i have lost my command of the english language in my old age, but aren't "practicing" and "rehearsing" the same thing, especially in the context of one person poking around on an electronic plastic "guitar"?

the only thing I can think of, is maybe the game has multiple "features" where like you practice on your own, but rehearse with the band? like a practice mode where you can do chunks of songs, a rehearse mode where you must do individual songs straight through, and a perform mode where you do sets?

I agree it's badly worded, but I'm pretending they must not have done it without a reason.

Considering the usual text quality on knockoff toys and electronics, it's only fortunate that the words were something more coherent than "for playing benign girl push sing cue wide tomato musics batfish!"
