en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_ca

= "Upper camel case" or Pascal Case
= "Lower camel case" or Dromedary Case

This is not a hill I'm going to die on. There are better hills. But I would prefer we used the specific term as it triggers me every time I see someone call a specific term by its more general name.

According to the WaPo article, Judge Beryl Howell, in her finding against Rudy Giuliani, said, "... despite Giuliani’s 50 years of experience as an attorney, he repeatedly flaunted his discovery obligations.”

Flouted. She means flouted.

Notice my username.

YRabbit reads documentation in his normal mode. "This code shows...", no it doesn't, there are no such @$ symbols here at all😜

I think Secret Invasion’s writers mean “Heads of Government” here and not “Heads of State.” Otherwise it’s really weird if the UK Prime Minister is attending a European crisis summit with an assortment of largely ceremonial Presidents, Kings, Queens, and Grand Dukes.

Argh, more with The Cartographers. A modern-day character is presented with her mother's fountain pen, which was presented to her mother in the mid 1980s. The pen writes perfectly. The person who presents it to her explains, 'I had it restored. I clean the piston and refill the cartridge every few years.'

AAAARRGGHGHGH.

Okay. Those of you who know the first thing about will understand everything wrong with this statement. For those of you who don't, follow along.

One quibble I have with the IPA set available is the inconsistent use of phonemes and allophones. If it's only contrastive phonemes, then why have the tap [ɾ]? If some allophonic variation is represented, why *only* tap? I'm thinking about today's [ɔ], which it transcribed as [o͡ʊ].

Subtitle from ‘The Batman’: [melancholy song plays]

Me, having heard just the first three notes of the song: It’s Nirvana’s “Something in the Way” and you will show Kurt Cobain some fucking respect by labeling it as so.

Bonus points if you do have a script, but it's only working for code and you're my docs (I'll spare the mention where I encountered this).

Extra bonus points if you have automated the nitpicking with a script, but not the correcting (actually one of my own projects qualifies here :X).

The Washington Post's article on Listeria says:

"The bacteria is tied to lettuces, improperly stored lettuces, meats, cheeses and other foods, according to the agency."

How is that different from saying, "Listeria can be contracted by eating food"?

What does it matter if the chalice from the palace is broken? It never had the poison to begin with. NOW, in theory, they are BOTH poisoned.🤦‍♀️

and
From an article discussing whether a suspect had "Visual Snow Syndrome":
"The condition impacts up to 2% of the world population, according to the Mayo Clinic. Because it's so rare, researchers are only now beginning to understand it."
The US defines "rare" as < 200,000 affected.
2% of US population would be about 7,000,000.
C'mon, news journalists.

I don't like the emoji's being in the chat window. It might not be as bad if it followed you down as you typed a message, but it doesn't. It'd be better if it floated or if it was fixed down where the spoiler warning is.

IMO.

@rc2014 I think there might be a typo in the CPM Upgrade docs.
The green CTS probably should say RTS. 😉

@neauoire can we rename H to hold, rather that halt, since that's what it does, and halt is also used to describe comments (#). Halt is also usually used to describe halting the execution as in the halting problem. . . Or am I missing something.

Been working my way though Orcas examples folder.

Excited to read more .orca s like yours and others on YouTube.
