Yeah; when those lines are horizontal – though –, you may want to worry. But vertically, usually not.

In the end, it’s all subjective but – if you’ll hear me out – thogh doesn’t alter the current spelling very much while maintaining a linguistic heritage (as the “thogh” spelling was also likewise used, during Middle English); also, the number of words ending in just the “o” vowel is less common, I feel, and will probably look doubly foreign to a native English speaker due to the consonant digraph (though, again, subjective; maybe not).

However, – additionally – saving “oght” for “thought” is giving that letter combination a sound already covered in English by another letter combination: “aught” (e.g. caught, fraught, taught, …thaught…?). If we’re keeping “ogh” around, we might as well give it a unique pronunciation association to avoid the overlap that was the original problem with “ough”.

Finally, a single “f” for “tough” could work (certainly, there are examples) but we miss out on employing the Germanic linguistic tendency to indicate a short vowel sound with a double consonant, inherited by words such as “ball”, “fall”, “doll”, “call”, or “puff” (of course, there’s plenty of exceptions (“get”, “bet”, “mat”, etc.) but, so long as we’re making changes, firming up an existing rule (and avoiding the brief uncertainty of whether or not the reader is dealing with a prefix) would, arguably, be useful).

For real; the second I saw “hugbox”, I was like, “Hmm….”

Mostly out of curiosity but what’d HW do? I think we can squarely put more of the war on drugs on his shoulders than Reagan’s but, outside of that, I can think of so many more concrete things Reagan did to worsen and destabilize America (even if the effects were much later) than I can for the 1-term HW (but that may just be unfamiliarity, on my part).

“Thogh thaughts are tuff,” in a more blessèd timeline.

Really wish you didn’t, though.

This.

I remember, when Unity first came out and Gnome was considering mockups for Gnome 3, so many people complaining and me thinking that, yeah, maybe these weren’t perfect but they so clearly contained improvements over Gnome 2.

It was an exciting time to be joining Linux because there seemed to be real desire to experiment with new work flows and UI ideas that improved the standard computing experience.

I feel like time’s kind of borne out my feelings, there.

No; you were clear. I dunno what that other person was doing.

What section does he mention it (if just one or two)? Don’t have the free time for listening to the full hour, unfortunately, but I am curious (if you don’t mind, of course).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made."

is generally interpreted to mean that Jesus was there from the beginning. Or, to quote the Nicene Creed,

begotten and not made, consubstantial with the Father

The problem with the r-slur wasn’t the word itself but dehumanizing mentally disabled people; I guess being more overt about it is preferable, if we have to choose one or the other, but you’re not circumventing anything.

I hadn’t had many regrets in life, originally.

No, that’s the Big Onion.

I Remember Everything (in My Ass)

Thank you, Mario!

But our princess is in another cavity!

We all pretend that it didn’t exist and do not acknowledge its presence; that’s the informal rule.

Already had most of these marked to donate to their eventual primary challenger; welcome to the list, Henry Cuellar.

GBA SP was the height of things, for me. Growing up with both the GB and GBC, I never quite forgave Nintendo for dropping GB/C support with the DS. The SP had a backlight and could play every GB game in existence and could easily fit in your pocket by being folded. It felt like the right direction in every way imaginable.
