Singular they dates back to the 14th century. Isn't 600 years long enough to stop quibbling over it?

You'd be surprised how many people I see in daily life who like it, mainly my students but some fellow staff colleagues, too. They use it as a concentration aide.

It’s more direct is the point. Why add C in between when you can use C++ directly? Like actually, what’s the point of the C in between? It’s only adding yet another thing to maintain when your can just access C++ directly from Swift and vic

In fairness, Mac users were already doing that in 1991 with System 7's Apple Menu Items folder. You could put anything you wanted in that folder, and it would show up in the Apple Menu. It was a good idea to put aliases to your most co
