Nothing posted here is necessary. Doesn't change the fact that nobody actually involved with helicopters calls them copters.
Some friendly feedback right back at you! :)
- Cyphase 6y agoI'll just finish with this rule from the Recurse Center User's Manual[1] that I think applies very well to this situation: > No well-actually's > A well-actually happens when someone says something that's almost - but not entirely - correct, and you say, "well, actually…" and then give a minor correction. This is especially annoying when the correction has no bearing on the actual conversation. This doesn't mean the Recurse Center isn't about truth-seeking or that we don't care about being precise. Almost all well-actually's in our experience are about grandstanding, not truth-seeking. (Thanks to Miguel de Icaza for originally coining the term "well-actually.")
