All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).
Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).
Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.
void main() { //code }Is better than
void main() { //code }Why would you want to put it on a separate line? Are you paid by the height of the source file or something?
People are saying “whenever” when they just mean “when” and I hate it with a fiery passion.
“Whenever I was at the game yesterday…”
When. WHEN!!
Time zones shouldn’t exist. There should just be UTC time and you would go to work at the equivalent of your morning time.
Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets.
Tabs, not spaces.
I don’t give a shit if your arguments perfectly align to the function. It’s only semantic indication. Use the goddamn special character that has its own dedicated key.
Thirteen months, 28 days each + one day. (Plus another day when there is a leap year).
It would just work.
Carmel should be the hard version and caramel is the soft kind.
English verbs have historically had present form, past form, and past participle form, eg. go / went / gone. I’m sad to see the past participle form being phased out of American English. People I went to school with and who I’m sure were taught differently (not to mention innumerable podcasters and public radio personalities), now say things like: “By the time I got home I found he’d already went,” eliminating the past participle and instead using the past form. Had saw is not uncommon either. I am old enough I refuse to incorporate this development in the language. If I ever encounter had was/were in the wild I might blow a gasket. Now entering my fuddy-duddy years :(
“an historic” is wrong and terrible if you pronounce the “h”
It’s “different from”, not “different than”, goddammit.
February should only have 1 r
The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an…
You got room on that hill for one more?
I’ve never heard it pronounced like that, and I live somewhere notorious for bad pronunciation. Is there another similar word pronounced like him-all-ee-an in your local accent?
No. I have no idea how that happened. Just someone I know that pronounces it that way
Water is wet
I had and endless argument with some someone about this a while ago here’s how it works (in my opinion) wetness is not a fundamental property of water instead wetness is having water on or inside something so a towel is wet when it has water in it. But a singular water particle by itself is not wet because it is not surrounded by water but most water is wet because they are all surrounded by other water particles.
A particle of water may be surrounded by water but when we talk about water we’re usually referring to a body of water like that in a glass or pot rather than one particle thereof.
Is the water in that glass wet? No. The glass is wet.
A room can be “airy” but the air in that room is not “airy”.
A car can be painted but paint is not painted.
… and so on and so forth.
I disagree if there is paint on the paint which there would be unless the paint is 1 particle thick then the paint has been painted. I don’t know what airy means so I can’t comment on that though.
H2O is not water
Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.
