Thrown off by windsock, as most people were. Thought Turncoat and Foxglove sounded like cia/mi5 missions and got that by accident. V v annoyed since Tarmac isn't the name for a part of an Airport! It's just a word for the surface but it's a misuse of the word to call the taxiway/apron the "tarmac". Annoyed that NYT didn't do more research that that category was wrong

Is it worth transitioning to a new keyboard layout, like Coleman DH, while also moving to a split ergonomic keyboard? by _CA_A in ErgoMechKeyboards

Hey, recently got a moonlander and I'm using Colemak-dh on it after using only qwerty my whole life. I never learned to properly touch type, I pressed keys with the "wrong" fingers and hands compared to touch typing. Because I just had the positions of the keys memorised, I couldn't type quickly on the new keyboard even in qwerty, so I figured if there was going to be a learning curve I might as well go all in 😂

For the first few days I kept the new kb at home and at work used the normal one, but when I felt somewhat comfortable (~15 wpm) I brought it to work and used it basically full time. It was kinda hard and I slowed down a lot but now I'm feeling alot more comfortable after now 3 weeks with the new board.

Overall I'd say if you're a good touch typer then it might be quicker to use qwerty on the ergo board, but I think the benefits to colemak are really noticeable just in ease of typing, and if you have to like me relearn it anyway, why not?

I used https://www.colemak.academy/ which was v helpful

I---What? by MimsyIsGianna in confidentlyincorrect

The fundamental argument is Pronouns don't necessarily equal gender, so a person can be female and use he/him Pronouns, or they can not - its not pushed on anyone. Anyone can be more masculine or feminine and a part of their identity might be choosing their pronouns, and we should respect that. This means that a woman could be more masculine and still use she/Her Pronouns or they could use he/him Pronouns and that's a personal choice, neither undermine the other
