How do I know that you're not a shill for fakespot? How does the person reading this comment know I'm not a fakespot competitor? It's a tricky business, isn't it?

I don't know what happened to my post but i meant "car as in character is stupid/ambiguous". But it's perfectly possible to understand "car as in carpet" and it's generally possible to find a similar

It's not shutting down the criticism. Someone will always say that ("you can fix it blah blah blah") but you can just ignore it. Just don't expect anyone to put in extra hours fixing it to avoid that criticism because p

Windows ignores the partition you're unzipping to and writes to the c drive, then does a very slow, tedious move to the destination partition. It's obvious it should use the destination partition in the first place.

No, "car as in character" is still. Car as in carpet, char as in chart - simple and doesn't require a course in IPA, which may I remind you precisely nobody understands.

Was that before or after android overtook iOS though? I'm not that bothered about 1 persons opinion on the licence used.

Your post looks interesting and might well be 100% correct but I don't know - nor do I know anyone who knows - what the various little pronunciation guides or whatever they're called mean. It's why people tend to say "ca

Yeah, no use to me either, althogh I did recently upgrade my windows 7 vm to windows 10 (there's no windows 7 version either). Very odd.

It sounds like you have perhaps a few issues of your own to deal with. I've always lived in/around london and I know others who do and we're not going mad. I know a bunch of people from outside the UK who live here and they&

One type of clue that's fallen out of favour, according to a book I read about it a while back, are those which require knowledge of, for example, the classics. It used to be that you needed a pretty good private education, but as Eng

I tag everything the same way, no matter what I use to listen to the music, the OS I use, tag app, music source etc. Just Artist, Album, and track number. Clear all the other fields. For classical, I appreciate that there can be differen

If you don't work from home then clearly you'll have a commute; how long/expensive/stressful/environmentally damaging it is obviously depends on a number of factors. I don't work too far from where I live and

I want a chromebook but all the ones I've seen are the price of a good laptop, or crap. Why can't I pay £200 for a good one? What about £300 then? Nice screen, 6 or 8 gigs of ram, a cpu more powerful than in the average phone?
