  • That's absolutely a ridiculous stance. Yes, you can personally go through everything, but there's also searching around to find out what other people say about it, actually look through the issues people have raised. Some of it applies to proprietary software as well, find out what other people say about the software. You don't need to do everything yourself, but you do have to take responsibility for trying to make sure it will work as you hope it will.

  • I kinda think that the IP address is public information when you go to a site still. Since it's needed to get data back to you and you're requesting to get data back. But maybe I'm just a bit too old and stuck in the thinking of the phone book and such.

  • Yeah, that was about what I thought it was...
    \ Same with the attempt to make people call pedophiles "MAP"s instead. (For those who haven't been made aware of the abbreviation; it is meant to stand for "Minor Attracted Person". While it's a more broad term than pedophile, since it includes the other age ranges (Something like hebephile and such, I don't remember them all, learned about it from a joke a comedian told), for normal conversations I think pedophile works fine for talking about everyone attracted to people below a certain age of which we (society) deem them capable of consenting to some things)

  • Spell checking doesn't help with that either, since it actually is a word. Though with the amount of people I see use "payed" instead of "paid" and the dictionaries being mostly descriptive instead of prescriptive (as far as I know) it'll probably end up being a recognized conjugation (is that the right word?) of that version of "to pay"

  • I think it makes logical sense that acronyms are initialisms, since initialism just implies that it's formed from the initials, thus all abbreviations formed from the initials of the words are initialisms, while a subset of those can be pronounced as a word and thus can be called acronyms. Personally I think it's very important that things are named such that one can logically deduce their origin and meaning.
