Please don’t tarnish our beautiful, antiquated British system with such names.

I used to be in a group that use it, and it works very well; we made great use of the mailing list feature, which Proton lacks beyond “contact groups”. The only thing is getting an invitation, which I seem to recall reading they’re not doing any more.

No, I saw the screenshot in the article of “going to PRISON?!?!?!” and thought, you know, I don’t think that’s all that schocking in itself. Granted it had the look of Tumblr about it and Tumblr’s signature move is overreacting, in hindsight.

I’m laughing quite hard now but I do apologise. Hopefully this makes it clearer:

• "Is this how I find out that
  • "other people find
    • “finding out that someone’s going to prison”
  • less normal than I do?“”

Yes! Sorry!

Is this how I find out that other people find finding out that someone’s going to prison less normal than I do?

I didn’t see in the “about” what jurisdiction (if any) you are incorporated in. I also don’t see if there’s any encryption at rest.

You only get company names with “Inc.” in the USA as far as I know?

I’ve had the odd dream where I’ve vividly smelt something putrid, but I’d say every dream I have includes sound. I’ve had a couple of dreams where the world ended suddenly and I remember the almighty rushing noise and the sound of my never-ending sigh. I’ve dreamt a good few times about people I know speaking other languages they wouldn’t normally speak, too.

We call them spatulas moneysavers in the business.

Wolf is an old name for Lupus, which of course is Latin for wolf.

One funny thing about the dictionary is that complex words are explained in simple language and simple words are explained in complex language.

Every dialect has a word for it. There’s no gap.

Well I felt the profit motive went without saying but I think you’re right.

One thing I can tell you with confidence about the Netherlands is that people there almost invariably overestimate their proficiency in English, so adverts and public announcements and the like in English often have embarrassing mistakes, so I’d put money down that they’re not going to hire a native speaker or perhaps even a chartered translator to check the translations.

I’ve got a black joker card in my wallet. I was walking to the tram stop with someone once, when I saw this playing card face-down on the floor, so I said “bet you I can guess this card,” I knelt down, and I said “I think it’s a joker.” I was about to turn it over when my friend said “hold on, black or red?” I said black and turned it over, and now it lives in my wallet.

Perhaps a lesson in heeding your elders’ word then.

I’ve recently learnt how to pronounce Irish slender consonants after basically years of wondering how to do it.

I mean, you could look it up yourself if you doubt it so.
