Would you really answer this way? Maybe they are trying to test communication skills, ie tell me what's only relevant. Can you imagine if you gave this answer

Would you really answer this way? Maybe they are trying to test communication skills, ie tell me what's only relevant. Can you imagine if you gave this answer to a product manager for a browser? Context people....
- Piskvorrr 10y agoHere's your context, good sir: This is, for intensive porpoises, a page trying to go into as much detail as possible on a very mundane task. No, Actual People (tm) would not answer that way - but going deeper down the stack than usual is considered a form of geek amusement.
- WickyNilliams 10y agoOT: Did you intentionally write "intensive porpoises" instead of "intents and purposes"? I can't work out if it was a sublte joke or genuine mistake. The mental image of intensive porpoises is hilarious
- Bromskloss 10y agoI'm pretty sure it was joking about how some people write "intensive purposes", by taking it one step further.
- Piskvorrr 10y agoGood catch, I have indeed done so on purpose. My other favorite phrase to sneak into technical writing is "[this and this] needs to be done that way for hysterical raisins". Barely anyone notices.
- bobwaycott 10y agoIntensive porpoises? Haha. Nice. What a wonderful mental image.
