I have a simple manifesto. Many vtubers have the potential to vtube as a career, should they wish. If there's a vtuber you adore, consider what you can do to enable this. Please watch them, and if you can, sub and support. Nothing lasts forever, but you can help it last longer.

"Hello, Dahlia. I want to play a game."

with how bad the scop is in Night City, that might actually be a plus

Never thought otherwise, but a sincere thank you for making sure 🤙

Seems like it was unstable balanced on the single point, so I'll set it more safely: ㄥ

Isn't that 𐫔 ?

That's absolutely correct and you are 100% right, but the 'order of writing' part seems to be very frequently forgotten. A lot of people just follow PEMDAS/BODMAS in those orders exactly!

I was educated in the UK 25-30 years ago, and we were taught BODMAS. The the B stands for brackets, and you can see why my first instinct was answer being one... it may well be that there's a lot of people worldwide who were educated this way.

Masakhan is one of this Brit's staples, to be fair, and machboos (kabsa) is a personal favourite when if I don't eat it as regular. There again, op's point that one person's diet doesn't speak for millions makes a pretty sound rebuttal against me...!

I mean, I say it that way and I'm a shop jockey from North Wales? My husband frequently calls me wanky, though, so it could just be a subliminal pretension (if this reply appears multiple times please excuse me; Twitter's being weird)

I guess I kind of see it for linguine or spaghetti. They're made from similar things, in a similar way, and a similar shape. Penne or conchiglie, that would be absurd.

The nuance few want to admit is that UK /pæstə/ is as far from IT /pasta/ as US /pɑstə/, which is why both US and UK hear ourselves as more similar in pronunciation to Italian than the other said nation.

as an insufferable Tumblr millennial, even we don't want it

Fun example you may like (and/or know): the familiar 'diverse' (meaning, varied types of a thing) vs. the nigh-obsolete but distinct 'divers' (meaning an unspecified number or quantity of a thing). Diverse meats are many types of meat, while divers meat just means a few pieces.

Credulous this was actually written by one of them, or a human at all

Ah, fair enough... I was hoping for an official statement, or some professional name; if I'm not citing a source like that, people might just wave it off as personal taste. Thank you very much anyway. I do believe you!

It's not that I don't believe you, but that's still a really surprising thing to learn. It's certainly plausible enough. I've done a little searching, but so far not found a source. Do you happen to have one, or remember where you heard this?

Yea...

Some people with ADHD apparently do this unintentionally in the crossover of romance and hyperfocus: an earnest wave of affection, then sudden loss of interest. No intent to be cruel, just the end of that hyperfocus. I was paranoid I'd do this... but it's thankfully not common.
