Again not reading what I wrote FFS! I did not call you uneducated but said you were kneejerking by intentionally missing the point, which looks suspicious, then said you are being anxious, because you were not reading the comment, and making it about you instead of the previous commenter. It’s not an insult.

I didn’t even imply that, so I will now call you anxious.

I was defending people who write well and craft long detailed answers. Read it again.

Really, kneejerk somewhere else, some of us paid attention in school and actually format things properly while using decent grammar. Bonus if you’re an organized thinker. Definitely a touch grass moment, the internet is wearing on you.

Those are good points but Torino as Turin is complicated, some folks there still call it that in dialect etc. and historically, run by the Lombards and all that.

English is terrible at this, Venice is Venezia, if you can say pizza you can say that.

Oh yeah, I get it. On iOS I use a simple database app called Collections that I really like, I use it for mileage tracking and certain kinds of journaling or lists that need extra features like a relational key or lookups or sketch or calculation fields etc. When I can’t find an app that does what I want.

Basically a simple roll-yer-own approach. I haven’t looked into sharing the data dynamically, though. I think Collections is iOS only, probably similar apps galore on android. https://collectionsdb.com/

I don’t know of anything like that, but it seems like parsing out multiple different formats for recipe ingredient lists would be one of the major obstacles to consistency and reliability.

I don’t know much about digital recipes, other than the crap that is various websites with their ingredient list obfuscation game.

Hm, I feel bad enough trying to trust that apple is respecting our privacy in iCloud sync, it’s a stretch, but data processed by an aggressive retailer about my shopping, don’t think I could do it.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable feature list!

Yep, this method works really well in a busy schedule.

My spouse and I use iOS so we share lists that we dictate to: “add onions to the grocery list” or “add vitamin c to the pharmacy list” is pretty adhd friendly, and updated live so if one is shopping, that’s inevitably when we remember something and the other one of us can update the list without texting.

I like kitchen owl, but have to use iOS for various reasons, and it’s pretty low friction, even autoorganizing the list by section of store to make it easier when roaming the aisles.

All our recipes are in print or our heads at this point so we don’t need a list-from-recipe feature.

I started by swapping floppies for PS 1.0, and used it professionally since.

Cut the umbilical last year. To replace it I need a few programs for different aspects of what PS did for my workflow, and it’s not 100%, but close, it’s waywayway cheaper, and now I can pollute my RAM with all kinds of tools at once without swap loading up hard.

Affinity did a pretty good job with muscle memory for switchers, though I don’t rely on it as much as I expected.

Ehhhhhh, it’s missing a season!

No, baron, I was just pointing out that there are lots of different rules depending on the medium and genre and participants. le sigh

Indeed

Yes. Correct. Accurate.

dude/ette

read some fukan poetry OK thanks

The different context means it’s not a literary communication, but notation for casual speech.

More script or score than Strunk and White.

In that mode, punctuation is performative, and with a period after one word you should weigh heavily on a grim tone of voice, or perhaps sarcasm.

As an old fart and former editor, context is key: there are many modes of expression, and the rules vary.

Two spaces as a convention is due to the monospaced fonts in typewriters.

If you aren’t using a monospaced font it’s typographically awkward.

Oh, read some Octavia Butler then! Brilliant and, well, kinda what you just said. The Xenogenesis series.

I guess foggy there means it’s “mildly” xenophobic when you don’t bother to get someone’s name right.

A lot of names got changed during immigration due to wilful xenophobia last century, for example. Xenakis to Johnson, etc.

Structural linguistic problems like not having notation for foreign pronunciation isn’t necessarily xenophobic, but failure to address the problem might be.

Idiomatic usage of ‘intuitive’ regarding interfaces breaks down into

1. ‘familiar’, so, confusing intuition with knowledge, or

2. ‘discoverable’, which is more accurate and describes things like icons and tooltips and menus, where the rules of usage become more or less apparent with exploration and logic.
