Good article, apart from talking so much about choosing a language for the user and ignoring the Accept-Language header, which exists solely for this reason.
Most websites seem to ignore this header and just show you whatever their geo-ip says.

True, the article does say that
[the local sheriff] placed a sign at the end of the driveway warning people to stay away from the house and to call him with questions.
The farm should put up a sign or plaque at that spot that they can point their official and vigilante visitors at.
I'm thinking more like using a CMS or Wordpress by people who don't consider themselves developers.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.
[The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”
Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.
A metaphorical tongue-lashing is speaking harshly and critically, but it could easily be misunderstood as referring to cunnilingus.
When I saw how low tongue was, I thought surely not, what about "she gave me a good tongue-lashing". I then thought about it for a microsecond more and realised the ranking's probably correct.
The original is in Chinese, and the translation's worse than Google Translate managed when I just my point my phone at the screen.
When it works, it's Arby's. When it doesn't, it's hour-old Arby's.
This is too American for me - Arby's sells food? Is fresh Arby's great or merely ok? I assume hour-old is bad.
People say they want that, but do those independent cinemas get enough people through the doors to stay open?
Paywall!
