Your casual use of the word "our" suggests that you assume readers to be from the same nation as you, which is of course not the case but which, since it is implicitly taken for granted by what you assume is the "majority" yet barely challenged by what you would assume is the "minority", makes a perfect point for this thread's topic.

There may be people who consider it a slur but there are also three species of butterflies, two species of mammals, and a few dozen Wikipedia-worthy people with that name. I mean, I’m all against insulting people, but come on.

How else would you pronounce it? Croy-sant?

It’s 35 °C here at the moment which makes that water balloon really look desirable.

Don’t know, didn’t watch the video, just noticed the thumbnail. IG-88 is one of the bounty hunters from Empire (and got a bigger role in Mandalorian), 2-1B is the surgeon (also from Empire) who treats Luke on Hoth and later gives him his new hand.

That is not IG-88 but 2-1B

Of course. Not exactly an elegant beauty, and looks like a tank next to a MacBook, yet a total classic.

For individuals, yes. But try convincing someone in top management … it’s hard to argue against "but everyone’s doing it". Been there, done that … big tech has won, whether we like it or not. Nobody ever got fired for choosing Microsoft.

Nice but 10 years too late

No, vice-versa
