The symbols of blitz and bullet

Hi,

as some of you might know, the term "Blitz" is German for "lightning", so "Blitz chess" actually means "lightning chess". Therefore, it is kind of misleading that here on lichess the Bullet mode is - instead of the Blitz mode - represented by a lightning symbol.
I think it would be more logical to represent the Blitz mode by the lightning symbol and the Bullet mode by - you know - an actual bullet symbol.

Ah very true. However, I would like to add to your feedback with a more troubling fallacy in that the speed of lightning is much greater than that of bullets.

It used to be that way actually. Not that bullet was a bullet symbol, but blitz used to be the lightning symbol.

The way it is now makes sense though. Lightning is the fastest, fire is a little slower, and an hourglass is the longest.

I think its fine now.

wath??????????

help to german people : Bullet means Blitz and Blitz means Feuer

so.. it will stay the same?

lightning is faster then fire. And lightning-chess is a other term for bullet. Most used on ICS-Servers like FICS.

by the way, I am a german, and for me, in chess, Blitz is not Lightning ;-)
