I apologize in advance if this sounds pedantic or like I am just trying to be difficult to be difficult. I am genuinely interested in this subject and appreciate your response. You never really stated what I am doing differently in the can

Maybe they are? The question is, what am I doing differently in this universe compared to the universe where the canary is still present? It seems like your answer is "In this universe (canary removed) I no longer treat reddit as a se

Is Stallman a new William Safire or Brian Garner? I never knew this was one of his areas of expertise. Oxford lists "doxx" as an alternate but accepted version. I don't have an OED license so I dont have access to the full e

How does a corporation "sue the FBI under VEP"? This sounds more than a little silly to me but I am not a lawyer. What is the cause of action here?

Does anyone know why this breaks the content wrapping? I have seen <pre> classes do this but this text is just normal HN comment class. I really hope using strikeout unicode does not catch on around here. It is horrible.

It would be impossible for me to write at all in Japanese. Romans would laugh hysterically if they read the blog I wrote in Latin. Which is why any corporate communications to my Roman customers would not come from my stylus. I can't i

Manyfold , is one word, no space between many and fold. I bet you are right about the author's intent. I know you are right that it does not read sensibly. Thank you for responding, for some reason "manyfold" did not come to

"Many folds"? The benefit to the co-brander is "many folds"? I'm not familiar with this term and nothing in the dictionary made sense. Is this industry lingo or the author's inability to bother editing and revi

In addition to sailors a flag at half mast has shared meaning to any American. When someone of national importance dies (former potus, sitting supreme, etc) the flag is lowered to half mast for a certain period of time.
