  1. There's a lot to love about elementary OS, technically. You can see the sustained effort to make the user experience a lot more cohesive and pleasant, and I appreciate it when people go out of their way to not only deliver software that does stuff, but also has enough polish to feel like someone cares about it and its users. Even their AppCenter with the pay-what-you-want idea is great. Now when I see words thrown around like "take that..." I just shake my head and shrug it off. It seems like a lot of people nowadays, regardless of political affiliation, if they have one, no longer care enough about the words they use. So if they want to insult and/or belittle someone/something, you'll see quite a few people utter some bad word, even if it doesn't apply at all. I think it's a bad thing when people get used to uttering nonsense, just as it's bad when people get used to hearing others speaking nonsense and shrug it off, because all of that only leads to creating even more communication problems. But I don't know what we should do, other than understanding the problem and insisting on using the right words, so here's yet another shrug. 🤷‍♂

  2.  @T_K7  Yup, I can only hope more people will still care about the words they use. I'll keep doing it even if it becomes old fashioned.
