Who says you get a choice?

Maybe it was someone else impersonating you, or maybe you accidentally fell into a time portal, or were pushed. Whatever the case, the fact that you’ve already experienced the result proves that whatever you may try to avert it won’t work.

The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI’s fsn file manager running on IRIX.

used the word ornament, or an adjective to describe the balls

You say that as though testicles can’t be ornamental. (Or festive, sparkly, etc.)

I think the most obvious example is loop unrolling. An unrolled loop can be many times more code, but runs faster because you’re not updating a counter or doing conditional jumps.

The former is typical of British RP, and the latter is found in General American (though it varies regionally). So it really just depends on who you’re taking to.

To your questions, I would use “German” and “mispronunciation”.

The Baja Blast is non-negotiable, though.

Yeah it’s more like asking the village wise man to read a letter to you, but he’s also mostly illiterate and just makes stuff up.

You sound pretty sure about that.

Arthur is an animated TV series based on a series of children’s books about an anthropomorphic aardvark. D.W. is the eponymous character’s little sister.

Coca-Cola switched from fresh to spent coca leaves in 1903, so the '50s are about a half century too late for cocaine in sodas.

They were lying about the perjury. Even though they swore they wouldn’t.

Needless to say, they’re wrong.

Not least because there’s no such thing as a “compiled” or “interpreted” language.

Which is to say that it’s a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There’s nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.

The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor.

I’ve only ever heard that term used in Cajun cooking, where it refers to onion, celery, and bell pepper.

The version with carrot is mirepoix.

Seriously, it’s like nobody in this thread even read the seminal paper, “Scrimbling Considered Harmful”.

The war on Christmas must not end until Christmas ends its illegal occupation of November.

My mom didn’t hyphenate, but she does include her maiden name when writing her full name, after her middle name. It never even occurred to me that that’s uncommon.
