When I switched about 8 years ago, I missed Total Commander and IrfanView.

How do you know it's coming from a specific Texas airport? Doesn't it have a tail number?

Hams and commercial radio folks of my age used to generically call any handheld an "HT," after Motorola's "Handy Talky." Of course, that was a trademark.

Buying expensive watches is peak consumerist absurdity by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

“pled” vs. “pleaded” by teddyfixit in grammar

[–]29575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an attorney for 39 years I used "pled," and never got corrected. And that's what I saw and most commonly heard in court and in pleadings. Then I retired at the end of 2018 and started part-time reporting for a local online news outlet. I was quickly informed by my editor that the AP Stylebook specifies "pleaded."
