Talk:Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 182

From the Article (Step 4 of the infinite loop):

"In the real game of Duel Monsters, an "Attack" is what a player declares with a face-up Attack Position monster. It is not a numerical value. Conversely, the term ATK refers to the points determining a Monster Card's "strength" when it battles another monster. It thus does not make sense to be speaking of "tripled attack" or "attack increased to infinity". The only thing that can triple or increase to infinity are a monster's ATK points."

Last I checked, everybody in Yu-Gi-Oh!/GX/5D's as well as everybody I know who plays the game, pronounces "ATK" as "attack," not saying ATK = attack. Thus, to me at least, this seems like elitist crap to me. I'll leave it in for now, but this doesn't seem like a legitimate argument to me.
