Yeah, imperial units are terrible. 1/3 cup nuts, 1/2 cup flour...

More granular units exist, but they're not easier to use and so no one does. The only reason anyone would refuse to switch to metric is because "it's always been done that way around here"

Edit: typo

Firefox can search your bookmarks. I'd be surprised if another browser couldn't, but it probably isn't as easy as just using the address bar

This phenomenon is called enantiosemy, enantionymy (enantio- means "opposite"), antilogy or autantonymy.

Apparently it has more names than a great old one...

The blahaj is ours now, we dibs'd it. Get your own shark. (You can play with ours too but you have to be nice.)

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your response, we can't redefine communism if you play the "communism has never been tried" card based on a rigid definition?

Is someone saying that? I don't think I am.

...are you?

I'm so confused.

I mean, I don't begin to understand it, and it terrifies me. But at least it's far away from me for now.
