They aren’t over-utilizing it though. They’re supplementing with portable generators. Even if you’ve never been to Memphis, you can still look up the info to realize your argument is hyperbolic.

You’e considering Memphis the middle of nowhere?

I don’t use it for coding. I use it sparingly really, but want to learn to use it more efficiently. Are there any areas in which you think it excels? Are there others that you’d recommend instead?

I’m American. Speaking about geopolitics at a five-year-old’s level is often far too advanced for many people. Sock puppets might help actually.

I didn’t think your original points seemed controversial enough to even be hills, but this ONE! This right here… I don’t even have a clue what it is.

Question about the first one. Do you consider English a living language that evolves over time?

To that point, do you ever phonetically say boatswain instead of bosun? Which way do you spell it? How do you (personally) pronounce Worcestershire sauce? How do you feel about onomatopoeias in general?

I would argue that words evolve with vernacular and sometimes the spellings become antiquated. In the case of Worcestershire sauce, pronunciation can vary greatly from spelling. If ketchup bothers you, are onomatopoeias even words to you?

Eventually, insisting on the old spelling becomes more ridiculous than going with the newer. Since you spell it catsup, can you bring yourself to use a squeeze bottle for it or are you still tapping that 57 hoping to get it to ooze?

Seriously though, since this is the hill you’ll die on, convince me otherwise about vernacular and spelling.

Biting my nails.
