The summary and article are border-line unreadable.

Drop is not a good word for releasing new features. Even in the slashdot comments here someone mentioned that Apple dropped firm 3D touch. And in common usage we say a company drops support for something, meaning that it's stopped. eg. Microsoft dropped its support for Windows XP.

Yes English is a living language, but I hope this doesn't catch on even more than it has, we don't need more ambiguity and hard to read articles.

Can't we just "release" new features. And have "updates" or "feature rollouts" or something. I don't see any need for drop.

This is particularly bad in an article where one company is stopping a feature and another is starting it.

Sorry, got this mixed up with micro figures (and a 2010 big bag of assorted figures). Seems like the pre-mini figures are so old at this point that mini is just redundant. Like mini computers (1960s) and micro computers.

Typo: "I" because slashdot on mobile. The most tech-backwards tech website in the world.

That's pretty cool, so if your birthday is August 31 l, that would become yyyy/06/31 and then you could spend your whole life explaining why it looks like you've made up an extra day in June.

Oops. Today I learned Lego figures = Lego minifigures, and the mini is redundant unless you're talking about really really old Lego that no-one's seen since the 1970s. And they made a Minifigures line of minifigures (in 2010) with more variety of faces and outfits or something, but not relevant to the present discussion. For a moment I thought there was an even smaller scale. Ah, that's microfigure. When I was a youngster we just said "Lego people" and everyone understood. I'll get back to my lawn now. Keep off.

Lego Minifigures came out in 2010, so unless you're really keeping up with Lego, under-20s and parents of 4-20 year olds?

Is it so hard to put -Guardian?

or

says Guardian.

And since gif (jif) with a soft g is also commonly pronounced, then this is also the correct way, I'm sure you'll agree.

Do you pronounce laser with an unvoiced s then? After all, it is for "stimulated" with an s sound not stimulated (ztimulated) with a z sound.

The real question is, SQL pronounced sequel? WTF you guys? I say S.Q.L . just as fast.

Just because it makes a word doesn't make it better.

It's not supposed to be the sequel to anything, (at least any more than any other technology is).

Dad jokes FTW!

When you reinvent the wheel, you wouldn't want a rollable one?

... I dropped it on a hill and quickly lost it.

Give me a phone with flat edges any day.

First time I've heard "neat" applied to coffee. Pouring it at room temperature seems pretty strange to me, but who am I to play gatekeeper?

I'm not justifying anything. Just saying, someone else already made sense of this, and your trolling didn't make any sense because you didn't read TFS,TFA or the post above you properly.It dragged out a bit because you continued to paraphrase without reading.

"Though the asteroid certainly played a factor, the psychological deficit which rendered dinosaurs incapable of learning to refrain from eating certain plants had already placed severe strain on the speciesâ. Species is plural. Makes sense as is.
