    You are so frist, thank you!

    I'd be tempted to select Middle English and start speaking like Chaucer. Unfortunately I can read Middle English, but I've never studied the pronunciation.

    Do you have an easy way to write messages with ash, eth, thorn, wynn and yogh ?

    Hey, that takes me back to when I was in college and preferred using :-Þ over :-P. That's the only alt code I still have memorized.

    The Barb one is a feature, not a bug. When I've started new jobs, it has surprised me that they couldn't just give me the same permissions as the old guy.

    "Barb" is clearly just shorthand for Conan (the Librarian).

    I filled out one of those forms at an urgent care clinic and chose English,Old (not that I speak or understand it) but no one has ever remarked on it. My communications from the clinic are in modern English.

    I cannot wait for them to adopt LLMs to automatically translate the mails to the preferred language. Many, many of these things will go wrong.

    At least the baby is still single.

    This made me remember that we our twins were born they had toenail more than half a minute for the second one to be delivered This because two children from the same woman in the same minute gave the error:”child already exists” (except in Dutch)

    Addendum 2024-08-24 17:25: DYaC toenail is to wait.

    It surely is an error unless you are expecting me to believe that your children were born simultaneously. One twin will certainly come after the other.
