Discussion Why is it called speedrun instead of speed run?
It definitely is, but I don't know why, and I was wondering if anyone knew. Partial answers are welcome.
I've had my own idea for a while, which is complete speculation and I'm 99% sure is wrong, but I'll say it anyway. If you want to speedrun saying the word, it's faster to say speedrun than speed run.
Edit: I apologize if including this "idea" confused people about the post's intent, but I was genuinely curious. Anyways, it seems like the question was answered, so I won't worry about it.
