The funniest thing to me is that any good manual would just say "DO NOT USE SOCKS AND FLIP FLOPS SIMULTANEOUSLY"

The cool and/or awful thing about language (not just English) is that if enough people many the same mistake, it's no longer a mistake!

I think you'll find that...

Hold on, let me get my glasses. 🤓

Actually, I think you'll find that a circle, just like a square, has uncountably infinitely many points!

I think you are wrong in this case. For example, many people would write X's when talking about multiple instances of the letter X. As another commenter said, there are exceptions and acronyms can be one of them.

But I upvoted you anyway because us pedants need to stick together.

E. One of them has the super power, and contacted the others who all know that the superpower is real and/or pretend to also have the power so claim they also saw the same thing

F. Same as E but that one person is lying too

Among many other reasons, this is one more why I always prefer to use a GUI than a terminal shell. The default delete operation is just sends files to trash, and that's easily undoable. I think you can even press Ctrl+Z to do so (can't check atm).

I don't even know how to do that from commandline.

(one online search later...)

There's a package for that but best I can tell there's no universal way.

It's so clever, in fact, that I don't get it in the slightest.

I still don't understand why and how this TV show ever existed
