Maybe I’m tired but this comment reads to me as if you’re disagreeing with me when everything you say supports what I said? My objection/question was how you came to the conclusion it’s a US/UK thing. There’s no support for that in the article.

Correct. But extrOvert makes no sense, etymologically (latin). The dictionaries accept it, but I (jokingly) don’t.

Tldr A British English, O American English

What? How did you get to that conclusion? That’s not what the article says at all? It says Phyllis Blanchard used the (incorrect) spelling with an O (while also changing the definition of the term to something most people I think would disagree with) in a paper she wrote and nobody knows why. And it spread from there.

I think you’re interpreting “Today, ExtrOvert is the most common spelling of the term in the United States.” to mean it’s spelled with an A elsewhere, but the author even brings up the Oxford Dictionary (UK) that says that the original spelling with an A is rare in general use. I live outside the US and I pretty much exclusively see the O-spelling.

I get so much satisfaction whenever I see extravert spelled correctly, which is very rare these days.

So confident, yet so wrong.

If it’s too long I don’t even start reading, I back out immediately.

If I start reading and see it’s a bunch of back story with too much detail I might skip to the next block. If it isn’t to the point within the first five words of that block or the next I back out. I’ve got dopamine receptors to satisfy God dammit.

That last paragraph was very short. But I hear some don’t mind it like that.

Those purchases aren’t paid for by Only Fans. It’s the content creators who pay for all that (unless there’s a way to get sponsored by OF, I don’t know). However, reliably storing and streaming video in high quality across the globe with low latency, both live and on demand, which is what OF does, is expensive af. It’s one of the reasons, if not the main one, there are no real competitors to YouTube.

So here we and giraffes both exist

Train station and bus station. Why isn’t it called boat station and plane station?

How is 70% of what customers pay the same as 70% of their profits?

Sure, but since authoritarian regimes like Russia tend to also misinform their own people, aggressive truth campaigns would be the obvious tool. (I know, “but who decides what ‘truth’ is?” yada yada)

That was actually rather hilarious.

No no, what’s best for them IS best for you! Trickle down! You should want them to get richer! Because oooh will it trickle on you. Trickle trickle!

Hopefully 12 is better

Hahaha. Oh man, I needed that laugh. Thanks. 🥲 This is a one way journey until all computers look and behave like smartphones. Hopefully I’ll have dementia by then so I won’t remember how amazing computers used to be.

- Sir, the brainwave recording shows images of… a room with walls made of boobs?

- Oh… I know who this guy is.

Both, thrusting your pelvis towards another avatar in VR Chat doesn’t count as sex!

;)

Yeah unless that n is the n-word I don’t get the censoring.

You don’t need currency for it to be prostitution. Prostitution is exchanging sex for goods, services or currency.

I read that part of the sentence about 20 times and I still haven’t got a clue what it’s supposed to mean.
