BLOOD SPATTER OR BLOOD SPLATTER?

CaptainWacky

I want to smell dark matter
We need to decide on this.
 
I would think spatter is more appropriate when there are only a few drops of blood, or a fine mist. Splatter is when that shit is everywhere, messy murderer.
 
I prefer Spatter.
 
I THINK DEXTER SAYS SPATTER.
 
They always say spatter on CSI, but some of them have funny teeth.
 
Maybe it's spatter if it makes a tiny noise when it hits the ground and splatter when it makes a splat noise.
 
YEAH I'M SURE THAT'S IT, DEAR.
 
I'd have to go with spatter as well.
 
I'LL INFORM THE PRESS.
 
WHATEVER :rwmad:

OK, I've been thinking about the spatter vs splatter issue. The blood spatter is splattered all over the place. See, the droplets of blood are the spatter, and splatter is more of a description. One single drop of blood is still blood spatter, but it isn't splattered. Except spattered is a word, so my whole theory just fell all apart, GODDAMMIT.
 
I see.
 
I'm LIKING SPATTER IMHO.
 
i think it has most to do with the amount of blood that's splashing onto whatever surface it's splashing onto; a spatter is a little, a splatter is a lot.

Yes? Maybe?

Maybe. Sounds right.
 
From wikipedia

"High velocity impact spatter (HVIS) is generally produced when objects traveling greater than 30 m/s come in contact with a blood source."

That's pretty damn fast, although that's not the speed of the blood, just the object it lands on, so maybe MR DOUBLE POST'S theory is still right.
