Your response is fair, but would you agree that "it's a long-standing convention" is not a defense against "I don't like it"?

- jacobolus 4y agoThe claim was that these are “bad”. But they’re not inherently any better or worse, just a conflicting convention, mostly dating back to the 1980s. It’s like the difference between US vs. UK spelling conventions. A British person saying “Americans are bad at spelling words” is just trolling.
