Here'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.
