Casual Conversation

I see this fairly often for other two languages*, but the reasoning is the same.

The "language drifts" argument is actually fallacious (is-ought fallacy). In my opinion the main reasons to be lenient towards deviations from the standard are:

1. Unless heavily overdone, they don't affect comprehension.
2. They reinforce the informal register, and the register itself helps to convey meaning.
3. They allow individual expression, doubly so when the misspelling has dialectal marks.
4. A standard is just a standard. It should be seen as a reference, not as encompassing everything that is allowed within a language and its spelling.

*and I use it, at least in my L1. In my case it's typically due to #3.

With voice to text becoming more common homonyms are going to become the de facto standard. All of the there there and their confusion, will be too too much, not to mention it's it's and it's.....

My partner leaves his drink bottle near the sink, empty or mostly empty.

I accidentally knock that fucker over at least twice a day. I move it to a different part of the kitchen where it's very unlikely to get accidentally knocked, he knows the spot so it's not like I've hidden it or inconvenienced him.

But he puts it back next to the fucking sink and I knock it over and it makes so much fucking noise and scares the dog and I have to stop what I'm doing to go pick it up, just in case it does have a bit of water in it and creates a slip hazard, and it's going to be the reason I suffocate him in his sleep.

For a bit the stuff inside will keep the COG low enough that its somewhat stable, but at some point it just stops being worth it. It also seems to last forever.

Supposably gets me. I'm also unnecessarily annoyed by "besides the point" and "anyways".

I live somewhere that all of this is common language. It drives me fucking crazy.

It annoys me more when other people care.

Of course you are welcome to be annoyed by whatever you want but I think I kind of agree with this design... Regardless of what state the car is in, you always know that if you push that button, the car should now be in park. If you're a dum dum like most of us, and you forget whether you've done it already or not, you don't need to check the dash or anything to decide whether to push it or not, you can just do it. It's like saving twice in a Pokemon game. I like that it's two distinct gestures, but compressed down into one mechanism.

However, I'm not sure I like that it's push to engage and pull to disengage. In my car I'm pretty sure it's pull to engage and push to disengage, which reminds me of the old lever style of parking brake.

I think that's actually good UX from a safety standpoint. It means the button is "idempotent": doing an operation the first time puts it in a state, and then doing it again leaves it still in that state.

If you're in a moment of panic and want the brake on, you might push the button a bunch of times in quick succession to "be sure." If it were a regular button, this would rapidly toggle it on and off, which would leave it in an uncertain state after you pressed it so fast. This way it turns on and stays active until you are ready to turn it off, and then you do another idempotent operation to turn it off. I don't think all buttons should be like this, but I think it's a good design decision for a button used in an "emergency."

You win some points.

I really dislike that some companies even call out they do it wrong because of momentum. It is not an arbitrary name. Its a d-subminiature shell e low density with 9 pins. A B shell has a low density size of 25. They're different things.

I'm bad at typing, I though I caught all of those, sorry.

People... That could be a problem, there are a lot of them.

I've never heard this in my life.

What if they're being overall intentionally childish?

Same...... except the other way round.

Its Daylight Saving (no s) Time. And I am firmly on the side of standard time year round; I'm a morning person.

ackschually a DB-9 connector has no meaning as low and high density pin counts are specified for the d-sub series, and db-9 is an impossible combination.

My slow pace is still faster than slow walkers.

Where I am, the scooters are not supposed to be on normal sidewalks, and seem annoyed your using the sidewalk.

IF YOU USED YOUR SIGNAL WE WOULD HAVE BOTH GONE FASTER!

The left lane is for passing, I really don't care how fast or slow you are going, if your not passing somebody GET OVER!

anyway, you might have struck a few nerves.

I don't know about others, but to me they are both appropriate ways to express laughter, just two different kinds. I would use ahah for schadenfreude.

Not pronouncing the "h" in "herb".

Well, that's normal in the US to omit.

Or the "l" in "solder".

People do that?!
