I find a lot of articles and news sources today that word themselves very strangely. They point out something that is wrong with some political system or other, but they use the word "illegal" to mean wrong.

@Natasha_Jay But if you say 'led', then read and led, do rhymeπ And you wouldn't expect read and led to rhyme. #pedantry.
@AaronDavid @argv_minus_one
also, millipede and centipede are around the wrong way. #pedantry ππ

When a payment page helpfully hints that "Name on card" means "Your name as it appears on the front of your card" and you've got one of these new cards that puts all the details (including the name) on the backβ¦ should you actually leave that box blank? π€
Why has SPF become a stand-in for sunscreen/sun cream/sunblock??

Dmitri's magnum opus on Go style is basically a shrine to #nitpicking π€, where even the smallest deviation from the sacred Go gospel is meticulously cataloged for eternity. π Why bother rewriting rationale when you can just send a link, right? π Because who doesn't love being schooled on the minutiae of code style by someone with a passion for pedantry? π

Pedantic side note about the Trump sucking Musk's toe's fake that played in the HUD building the other day. I've seen people on here, and apparently the BlueSky moderators (briefly), claiming it was sexually explicit.
It's literally not. Do you see genitals? I don't see any genitals.
It's sexually IMPLICIT.
That's why it works as mockery. It's a superficially non-sexual act (toe sucking) from which we infer a kinky sexual relationship.
