You don't really, my theory is sometimes the auditory part takes over mid-sentence, whereas when I'm in my usual visual mode the errors stand out immediately.

I'm just making a point that many happy Vim users can relate to. To me it was pure serendipity. Nano on the other hand wouldn't have led me anywhere. Apparently that is worthy of downvoting to some.

Has there been any proof of infection via eyes? The virus needs to settle in the airways to reach the level of infection. I understand people's reaction, it's hard to sort all the messages from the media & health authorities,

Exactly. I would be a disaster if the viruses were indeed viable this way, I think excessive hygiene actually harms the immune system by restricting eustress from other bugs.

I had a similar feeling for the language and I can assure you you do get used to it, and that it's probably not the syntax that's making it difficult but understanding the programming model. As for not being machine-editable, the

High (10g+) doses of omega-3 (mostly as EPA) are extremely effective and clinically proven. Standard doses are way too small to be effective, and most of the science and anecdotes refer to small (1-3g) doses.
