Actually, spelling might be the only exception to that rule. If you genuinely misspell a word, it's nice to have it fix it for you in one motion.

"Loose-yet-intelligble" is exactly the kind of grammar you have used in this comment, though. You should have put a comma after "this" in your first sentence, and you've got a comma splice in the second sentence. The point they were making

>if you can't be bothered to write a coherent sentence and take a couple of seconds to make sure you're using capitalization and punctuation correctly That's a flagrantly strawman version of what he or she was saying.

I can spot a joke, but that seemed plausible enough for me to look up. Sadly, that's not given on etymonline.com as the etymology, but as it lists the OED as being uncertain about the commonly reported etymology, there may yet be hope.

"Up to" language can be every bit as sleazy as this move to take stuff back. It usually means, "nowhere near."

>Google+ as a competitor to facebook is dead. That's ridiculous. You're talking about the company that has Chrome, Gmail, Android, and Google.com. Any one of those could potentially spark Google+ in time. And it's not like Facebook is i

Google has had some smart, touching ads of late. I think they're helping to romanticize the web, or maybe just highlight and help legitimize the beauty that's already there.

A relatively near-term possibility is the recognition of natural gestures. If it's too loud, I pat my hand in the air downward a few times or put a finger to my lips for mute. If it's too bright, I shield my eyes. If it's too hot, I jerk my

I'm not really that kind of person, but I find that I'm able to get things done from home when there is a clear definition of the work and a firm deadline. I think that's a difference between running a company and working from home - you ca

It was the right move for the first Droid phone, but I agree that the time has passed.

My thinking is that an innovative, abstract replacement for banking will either float or sink on the strength of its offering and subsequent word-of-mouth. My mother wouldn't ever sign up for this on her own regardless of what it's called,

It's better as an intransitive verb. "Should we do a call or would you rather viaweb?"

>Why build it when screwing and popping out babies is far cheaper and already works? Why build a word processor when pencil, paper, and a scribe is far cheaper and already works? It's about scale.

With a commitment to deceptive editing, even award-winning films and famous, eloquent speeches can be made to seem stupid.

The swiping action is a metaphor for moving things, and it seemed consistent and intuitive. You flick items away in some cases, you pull screens to rotate/pan them. This is already implemented in some mods and is totally natural.

I have no idea, but it would possibly handicap future channel possibilities like, for example, the deal where they're releasing Minecraft through xBox and Android.

The Omnibox has some strange UI choices, and this little extension is about as good a workaround as you'll find right now until they implement a patch.

I can believe it easily. There are many millions of potential values for each element in the search and an unlimited number of elements per search. And the order matters (presumably). Keep in mind that there are hundreds of thousands of rel

It's about having a functional system, not about absolute wealth or even comfort. Laws that serve the common good. Economic policies that promote progress and well-being.

Because answering a question with a question is not straightforward. And no, I'm talking about a dealer being asked the question in general by a prospect fresh arrived on the lot.

A more direct, less cheeky version would be to ask what they are picturing for their website and giving them some estimates. If a car salesman were asked that question, he wouldn't answer it flippantly because he knows that's a little embar

Which meant that unless you optimized your progress, leveling was counter-productive. Enter the difficulty slider. Both mechanics made the game silly to me in later stages, and I never finished.
