Nice idea.
get the 20
I just read the same expression in another thread. What does it mean ? I assume it's not 20 years of military service like it used to be in the Roman Legion...
If you pinch "imply" hard enough you can make it mean "infer"
That statement itself is enough to pinch all the linguists out there.
What makes that the "correct" version? It seems the line has quite the history and has taken on many forms. Fwiw, Wikipedia justifies "implies".
I ought to be jealous of you. But i'm much too lazy.
I keep looking for these two links: https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=list and https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=edit.
I just read a comment: "Correlation does not connote causation." A search found the more common adage uses "imply" instead of "connote". Though, they are somewhat synonymous.
Anyway, that seems wrong. I mean, the whole point is that it does indeed imply causation. That's why we need to remind people that it does not equal causation.
Let's get turbo encabulated!
No idea on the men-vs-women thing.
But it seems absolutely crazy for the DRMed media sales industry to remind people that their media could Just Work and be normal, instead of requiring specific proprietary players (a different one for each media source). They shouldn't even mention piracy, because that just plants the seed that people could instead have standard format files, where things are much more convenient than the awkward situation with DRMed media.
If we want people to just accept that things are shitty and must always remain shitty, then it's probably best to not encourage people to think about the topic at all. Shhhh! Don't bring it up, and pretend that the idea of a convenient media library, where users have the choice to use whatever player software that they want on whatever device that they want, simply doesn't exist at all.
