I don't think so, because it's a description of a system which does work . But it's more like an HTTP API, writing or requesting some data, getting a response, doing something else with that, etc. - whereas typically with st

I don't think that matters, isn't the point just that it's more eye-catching than a solid (and much smaller than a car's) light? Any driver should know what a brake light means, I don't think that it's an inten

I know nothing of Thai but in Hindi (devanagari) ignoring standalone vowels (अ a) they come after a consonant to modify its pronunciation, regardless of whether the mark is written predominantly before or after or below. E.g. for the conson
