I agree with you. But I disagree on this rule avoiding confusion. I think it does the opposite. I think that’s why most speakers ignore it.


just because a native English speaker ignores a rule in their own language that doesn’t really speak much about the language, it says more about the speaker
It doesn’t. If the speakers of a language ignore a “rule”, that says more about the rule itself. Eventually, a rule like the one we’re discussing will cease to exist since it only complicates communication, as has happened to past rules and words.
I also have an issue with calling it “standard”. “Standard” is whatever everyone uses. Following rules that no one else does makes you sound robotic. It’s why so many guides on pronounciation in English fail. They go off of how the word is spelt and ignore how people actually say it.

God, such an insult


This guy’s being pedantic. I say “a software” all the time.
It’s important to understand how a language works, but don’t let grammar Nazis trick you into caring about minor rules even English speakers ignore.

Might be your fault, might not be. There’s a lot of apps that don’t play well with the minimalism from Sway and need workarounds.
It’s always a journey to learn what does and doesn’t work out of box whenever you install minimal software


And there is a last reason, which is less rigorous but matters to us just as much. We write software because we enjoy writing software […] We are not interested in optimizing away the reason we do this.

I almost never see anime with my filters. Most anime posts are from anime comms or anime servers instead of random
Is this comm full of K-drama watchers?

If you’re experiencing indigestion after eating something spicy — think acid reflux, a roiling stomach or even ulcers — milk isn’t the hero you need. “Milk can actually worsen those symptoms because it sometimes stimulates acid that then has to be digested, which starts a cycle,” Dr. Rood warns.
If you can drink milk and eat chili without bathroom problems, go ahead. Otherwise, add an acid like lemon juice. These days, I just use spices with less capsaicin.


Are evil people negative? Pretty sure they are positive in a toxic sense


This is horrible advice. Milk and chilli is a recipe for stomach issues. Please use lemon juice instead


There are alternatives like go-away, iocaine, etc.
You could also just send them a PDF or HTML file explaining how Anubis works, and refuse to send the URL or mascot until they are convinced to implement it.
