  • Maybe pedantry is not your cup of tea, but I listen to technology connections.

    And the best type of correct is technically correct.

    The whole reason to be precise about language is because it is confusing when you read something and go “that does not make sense” and then think about it for a minute and then realize what it means.

    We don’t call them “fake emails” for a reason. It’s confusing. Spam email, spurious email, fake sender address, phishing, etc., are less confusing. Same with physical mail. Don’t be mad just because I want to read stuff nice.


  • What do you mean? We’re just describing what we see in the picture and how it compares to our lived experience.

    Does your country have an osha or can people go to construction sites without hardhats, or do you have a regulating body but hardhats aren’t required / the rules aren’t enforced?

    Saying OSHA is like saying Kleenex to us, we don’t even realize it is a brand name. It has become the generic term in our en_us language anyway.
