@mike @Kels_316 I’ll just increment another dash in my password ‘8====D——-‘

@futzle this is glue and epoxy erasure

@thegibson sudo as thou wilt, this be the whole of the law

@zens @futzle Other things I would like from Indian English:

- 'please do the needful' (correspondence signoff)
- 1 Lakh (100,000)

@futzle @zens alternatively in Indian English, postponement (later) and preponement (earlier)

@futzle to continue; 'email' would also encompass the epistles of the New Testament where they're stored on the internet (or any electronic form), which would make Paul, Peter, James etc. some of the most well-known users of email

@futzle counterpoint: it is electronic, and it is textual, and therefore counts as email

[this principle would make all kinds of other messaging, from SMS to IRC, also 'email', which I'm happy with]

@clacke @mike this is a hard conversation to have with a young man

@mike haha reminds me of an open day at Sydney Uni's campus where this poor international student looked so confused I asked if he wanted directions. He wanted to know how to get to the Orange campus. I had to tell him the bad news
