- hobs 13y agoI actually didn't know that. I googled and learned that it came into use in the 50s, interesting. Edited and changed. Edit: too old to edit! But still, thanks for the info.
- lostcolony 13y agoI do not believe this thread just happened.
- hobs 13y agoI smiled reading this comment. If you make a mistake and someone corrects you, I assume you also try to learn from it. On HN, I believe that people are trying to make a positive contribution when the post, and while correcting people on the internet can seem pedantic, I take it to be a positive contribution and an opportunity to learn something. Hopefully I don't make the same mistake twice!
