To say that the internet has played a massive role in the shaping of global society is a bit of an understatement, really, but one area that often gets overlooked is its influence on language. At least 'hangry' is now an officially recognized condition
Or at least in the dictionary so I can remind people it's real.

Will "teh" be put in the dictionary as well?

That will save so many of my typos

Negligence and mistakes? Sounds like someone started my biography without permission. As long as I get some kickback, I don't care.

MSVC has been shipping implementations of std::optional, std::any, and std::variant since the Visual Studio 2017 release, but we haven’t provided any guidelines on how and when these vocabulary types should be used. When null isn't vague enough?
|

Humans have been doing this for years. People send messages like "I hate you" or "I dislike what you just said" by punching them in the face for years. This is science now?

Malware developers have started to use the zero-day exploit for Task Scheduler component in Windows, two days after proof-of-concept code for the vulnerability appeared online. Not much of a 'Zero Day' if it took two days to write an exploit

Last Thursday, NASA informed the public that there was an air pressure leak aboard the International Space Station. "Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage"
