not if you had one of those setups where you can burn right from a source CD to multiple target blanks

But the way the sentence is structured is saying that burning happened to the OG disc. Burning is what happens to the copy disc.

Did you want the person to detail every step they took?

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's the difference between "I borrowed some money" and "I loaned someone money". They mean different things, including people occasionally creating awful sentences like "I borrowed him some money" (shudder).

None of that has anything to do with burning a cd.

It's another example of how related words are misused to provide another example. The author of the article decided to use a word they clearly didn't understand. Are you trying to pull some reverse pedantry shit?

Yes. Because pedantry is all you guys are engaging in. Grow up.

someone whose replies have ranged from AlTeRnAtInG cApS mEmE tExT to an eyeroll emoji telling other people to grow up lol

Sneer all you like, one of the things I do is fix technical specs for a living. Being a pedantic nerd literally pays my bills.
