I'm not sure he actually said he looked it up on Wikipedia. Just that he always had to look it up. (I'd have to re-watch it to be sure.) The interviewer was the one who said he had read the definition on Wikipedia. Unless pg was also imp

I'd get rid of the yellow note at the bottom---at least from the home page. You could handle uncaught exceptions and then display the note, for example, or put it in the About Us page. Us Colombians are too polite, so it would probably be

I'm not sure what the behavior dynamics are in LtU, but it's a forum topic asking what seems like an open question to the LtU community, rather than what one would call a blog post .
