> goes to show there's something really fucked up about our world, probably because we are losing respect for the elderly. I (totally open-mindedly) wonder if that's partially because our elderly are getting older? We're getting better

I hear a lot of complaints about the autocomplete, but it definitely makes me way more productive. It correctly fixed 6 words so far in this comment even. And, it can be disabled. Why hate on it? (there were 3 more fixes :) )

I'm assuming you meant article instead of office. I totally agree... I keep thinking the picture relates to the article and get confused!

I fully support Wikipedia running a donation campaign as I find it to be a really valuable resource. However, I find the image staring at me to be really distracting, and somewhat embarrassing if I use wikipedia at work; from a distance, it
