I won't argue the point further than this message, and I appreciate the details you've provided, but the point of analogies is drawing parallels to quickly aid understanding at a surface level.
Nothing analogous to finding a needle in a haystack actually involves rooting through dry grass for a sliver of metal, but the analogy still stands.
obviously comes from a mishearing by someone who didn't read books
This is assumptive and prescriptive. The link I sent demonstrates that it's been used extensively and for a long time by people who not only read books, but write books. I'm on board that "set foot" is the better phrase and likely to be the earlier one, but trying to dictate which is correct is - respectfully - a fool's errand.
Pollen kind of is analogous to semen in a very broad sense, though, in as much as the pollen grain produces (rather than carries) sperm and delivers it to the ovule, right? It's not the same when examined closely, but that's the point of analogies. Grainy semen.
I think you're thinking of a different product - these were white candy sticks made from corn starch and sugar/syrup. Your comment on the behavior is dead on, though!
Yeah, although sweet-and-sour sauce in the US typically has E129 (Red Dye No 40) rather than E127 (Red Dye No 3), which the FDA are banning. There is a whole bunch of anecdotal correlation drawn between E129 and behavior, though, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see it reviewed in the future.
Pub buildings built on the cheap or converted (i.e. single storey, flat roof) are almost always a reliable predictor for terrible beer, aggressive clientele, and a regular light dusting of snow on the bathroom sinks.
That's all well and good, but I maintain my position both with regard to the previous commenter and – though I hadn't meant to address it at the time – also to Esperanto. If uptake of the language is sufficient, it will devolve into dialects and further, in spite of the intentions of its inventors.
they come into existance from other languages that get distorted beyond recognition by the people who misuse them
"Misuse" is an inappropriate word to employ here. The correct way to speak a language is the way that others speak the language, so that you are mutually intelligible. Changes to how language is used aren't a deviation from the "correct way" for exactly the reasons you've pointed out: language is not prescribed.
I suspect it's dual-band acceleration (sometimes called "speed boost") - you're using both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands. WiFi 6 and 7 will probably show a 6 and 7 respectively, and voice over WiFi is shown separately as you say.
Try finding it in your settings, turning it off, and seeing if the + disappears?

Creme eggs have been around for 60-odd years. They're crazy sweet and not very high-quality – especially after the Kraft acquisition, as it's not even Cadbury's Dairy Milk any more.
What you get in the US are smaller and made over there by Hershey, so frankly they're probably as bad or worse, but you're not missing out on much.
