On the other hand everyone says “acronym” even when they know the word “initialism” so I’m not entirely sure you’re really completely correct

Ping of death

Vim (clearly a buff)
I have felt vertigo in high places in regular 3D games like Minecraft. I have to sit for VR Ghost Busters
I can’t imagine how immersed I’ll be in more immersive VR
Which standard does Canada use?
I have a friend who’s a new PM (in scaled agile). He isn’t up on expectation management.
We have a process where we request data from another agency which takes “from 7 seconds to 12 days”
And of course he tells people that. And of course they hear “7 seconds”
I have told him that if the SLA is 12 days, say “less than 12 days”
A logging truck is probably safe to follow, an 8m log isn’t going to slide off the stack
Consider them crew
Indeed, however the Americans stand out in the anglosphere
Wombats, koala, kangaroo, and emu eggs are easier to catch/find and were the main meat in places where those are common
I would rather Australian risks than those of bears and big cats
Aussie snakes try to keep away from people, they aren’t aggressive.
Our spiders are so like those elsewhere (compare Redback to black widow)
You’re unlikely to see a kangaroo in water. If you do, keep away from it just like you keep away from wild animals anyway
You’re very unlikely to see one in the wild, they’re nocturnal and their burrow entries are under creek banks
In zoos they live in the nocturnal animal section, probably swimming
They said 1st as an abbreviation of first (it’s a normal abbreviation 1st, 2nd, 3rd … 7th abbreviate first, second, third … seventh)
If you want to be both wrong and confusing
If you want to use correct English and be clear don’t use ordinals: Say “index 0, index 1” etc
Save ordinals for contexts without indices: the first time through this loop, the last record"
Calling index zero the first is correct, but risks misunderstandings such as in the op comic
That is why many call index zero the zeroth index
First and 1st are certainly different symbols for the same concept
The spelling for the index before the first is zeroth, no need to insert an extra vowel
Americans also index their building floors from 1
A two storey American building has floors 1 and 2, where elsewhere they might be ground (zero) and 1.
Blame the restaurant for having a table identified as zero
Good luck standardizing English
Most animals don’t have clothes to take off and don’t fuck at sleep time
Humans are odd, and I think our sleeping after sex is just that we’ve structured society to leave the best time for sex late
I never slept right after sex as a youth as the end of the educational day and when my parents would get home left only daylight hours with sufficiency privacy
