Almost as if only the US cities were so planned in advance that everything is in a grid.

It’s UWQHD. It’s higher than fullHD, so it is high def by definition.

And that’s totally fair, in my opinion. Speech has to flow in the language you speak, or you’ll sound like an idiot. As long as people don’t go around claiming to know and teaching others pronunciations for things that they themselves don’t pronounce the way that was intended.

there are examples like VIP where even though we could pronounce it we pronounce each letter individually.

This always seemed a bit weird to me. In Sweden we do pronounce that as a word. Vipp.

Non-acronym initialisms are an exception. I wouldn’t pronounce the letters in German.

But that’s not unconventional, is it? Everyone has one.

That’s considered unconventional where you are? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a kitchen without one here in the Nordics.

Related. I actually thought it was a sun related thing, like a solar flare, in the comic. Turns out it was butterflies.

I did the same. I haven’t switched back yet, but I’m very close. Audio doesn’t continue playback when connecting to Android Auto, the screen shows suggestions instead of the queue, and silence trimming is all-or-nothing. Also, and this is just personal preference, the UI isn’t as intuitive.

Hmm, okay, it’s apparently debated. However, the only way I’ve learned it is that initialisms are words formed from initial letters of included words, and acronyms are initialisms pronounced as words. It seems like it varies by country as well.

Are there circles in which it’s NOT pronounced like that?

Looking For Group

Someone at work insisted the MVP emoji meant Minimum Viable Product. I get that the term exists, and that we use it, but it’s way more niche than Most Valuable Player, and it’s certainly no emoji.

I learned about a11y like a year ago, and thought it was 1337 speak for ally until I looked it up, and only then (like 20 years after first seeing it) did I realize what i18n meant.

It’s always been For The Win to me. Fuck the world seems to have been before my time.

Which I do.

I hear SQL way more than Sequel. Luckily, since I don’t like hearing it as sequel.

Other way around.

Yes! Imagine not being American, and Magic is the only thing you could ever associate MTG with.

I’ve literally never heard it any other way. O_O
