@ricci I will never forget when Danny Somers in the first grade was given "hamburger" and spelled "lunch."

@ricci also for contrast: the red squigglies just told me that it's "omelette," not "omlette" and "spinach," not "spinich" so I am easily impressed.

@ricci Same. "Beautiful" is a tough word for a 3rd-grader.

@ricci I recall one of my high school English teachers taking points off on an essay because I spelled "squirrel" egregiously incorrectly and she thought it was me being defiant or insubordinate or something.

@ricci In a whole school 5th grade assembly, I, in the 20-contestant round, was told a word, heard another word, pronounced and spelled that other word correctly, and was disqualified. The frozen look on the examiner's face stuck with me more than the wrong word.

@lanodan I don't understand why anyone other than imperial scribes would need to write things down

@stefano If you want to force yourself to go to bed at a certain time, just install a physical button on your nightstand so the house’s main power doesn’t shut off 😆

@justine @stefano that has been me since forever.
My mother would be out with me as a baby in a stroller wandering around the neighbourhood past midnight because I was too bored to sleep and needed mental stimulation

@stefano you need to eat more for dessert then. If you're not in a food coma you're not even trying :P

I've seen me go to bed and try sleeping then my head starts chirping "What if you tried this? You know it might just work." and I then have to get up and try before I forget. 🤣

@stefano I have got the impression that especially when doing stuff with FreeBSD, it’s like go other people working on a model railway. It’s very time consuming, not always really productive and most people don’t understand why you invest so much lifetime in stuff that at the first glance has no deeper sense.
