    All opinions are my own, ... and thus incontrovertible! 😉

    "as per", another one that falls into the "it's either one or the other" category, depending on context: Wrong: "As per usual, …" / Right: "As usual, …" Wrong: "As per your request, …" / Right: "Per your request, …"

    Remarkably smooth landing in Spain by an plane with a damaged landing gear, after hours circling to burn off fuel. All on board would appear to be okay.

    At extreme zoom, this big boy is "El Gato", the feral cat we've been feeding in our backyard for years. I don't know how much longer he'll live, and it saddens me that he'll never let me get anywhere near him to show him the love he deserves, or to invite him into the family. 😢

    Canada 🇨🇦 is in HUGE trouble if they can't get rid of these scum ASAP, if it isn't too late after having missed the recent opportunity.

    I think I brought up this one on previous occasions, confusing nouns with identical-sounding compound verbs: "During *logon*, my computer plays a sound" vs. "I *log on* to my computer", or "I created a *backup* of my files" vs. "I regularly *back up* my files". Examples abound!

    The mid-sentence "person switch": Frequently encountered in advertising, and exemplified by "Sears (3rd person) is proud to announce our (1st person) annual White Sale", it logically can only result in questions like "So who are YOU?" and "Why is SEARS announcing YOUR sale?".

    "rate of speed": Frequently encountered in "Officialese", like police reports, this term is nonsensical, as it translates to "rate of rate of motion". It's "the suspect fled at high speed", Officer, not "at a high rate of speed"!

    "equally as": It's one or the other, folks, not both!

    I'm starting a thread on language abuses I frequently come across, not because I expect anybody to read them or change their ways as a result, but strictly as linguistic therapy. I haven't been keeping a list, so I'll just add to the thread 👇over time as items come to mind.

    I'm no particular fan of 's Lightning connector, but this is yet another overreach, meddling in what should never concern them. The is well rid of these megalomaniacs, before they decide to legislate the value of π!

    These constant content provider vs. carrier pissing contests continue to be highly annoying, each party lobbying customers to take their side with doom & gloom bullshit when we all know they'll eventually come to a negotiated renewal, because they have to!

    5/3 (I clearly didn't think this through in advance 😀) Note that interesting consequences of this system are that the ball would only advance if the offence makes at least a half-yard on a play, and being tackled behind the line of scrimmage would lose no less than a half-yard.

    4/3 😉 With this system, not only are chains eliminated, but it would also become possible at the start of every sequence of downs to instead train roving cameras on the 10-yard marker corresponding to the next 1st down, to help make a determination when it's close on 4th down.

    3/3 Possible solution: at the end of all plays, bring the ball back to the nearest half-yard (yeah, paint some new markers) and continue from that point. The offense only reaches a new marker when they "break the plane", as with touchdowns now.

    2/x … all along, are brought out and the result is accepted to the last millimeter, experimental error be damned! The needs to hire an expert in empirical measurement to come up with a sensible system that doesn't make scientists cringe.

    1/x On the eve of the , a reminder that football's methodology for 1st down determination is ridiculous: ball placement after plays is based on officials trying to walk a straight line, but when it's close on 4th down, the chains, the position of which was eyeballed ...
