I sorely miss that kind of quality journalism. The Wall Street Journal still practices it (mostly). Everywhere else is, as you say, turned on its head by starting with click bait questions that only get answered at the end of the article, if at all.
Obligatory get off my lawn and shakes fist at cloud.
- mst 3y agoSadly, due to being on the first floor* I don't have a lawn. I do keep considering balcony mounts for what would've been the lawn defence cannon though. * en_UK first floor, mind, I know en_US insists on 1-based indexing rather than 0-based for floors but I don't particularly like writing FORTRAN either.
- Tagbert 3y agoIn the US floor numbering is ordinal, 1st, 2nd, etc. In the UK it seems like they are cardinal or nominal. Do you have a zeroth floor?
- kelnos 3y agoI believe they call the zeroth floor the "ground floor".
- mst 3y agoYep, Ground, 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Which I would argue is close enough for me to consider it zero-based. Elevators in the UK mostly have G rather than 0 on the buttons so far as I can remember though; I've completely forgotten what mainland Europe does.
- Zak 3y agoYes, and negative numbers as well. https://i.redd.it/8vuvnovra9b31.jpg https://i.redd.it/8vuvnovra9b31.jpg
