The subjunctive's a bugger in English, as well -- not because it's difficult, but because so many people get it wrong regardless.
I'm forever handing out bollockings to people for writing "if A would have [past part.]..., then B would have [past part.]..."
(It should be "If A had [past part.] ~~" -- the same as in Italian, so I've no excuse for getting it wrong)

Been to Lucca once, it was a Sunday, it was closed. Still beautiful, but felt like a ghost town.

On Sunday Italy is a ghost nation we take sundays very seriously. There are many laws strictly regulamentating the opening of commercial activities on Sunday and festive days, usually only big distribution has some kind of special arrangement (but they are still forced to strange things like opening only ont the first and third sunday of the month...).
Also every non primary city feels like a ghost town, most activities are located in the main centres of each Region (some rich regions have more than one, others have practically none). Many people prefer the small towns to live in because there is a lot more tranquility and many relations are still personal - in my 1200 inhabitants town for example the postman tries to deliver many more times in a day than the ones he's mandated to... it may seem a small thing but it can really improve the quality of life.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Compare size of a page to a compressed image of the same page
The article is rather interesting, but the calculator itself meh... not so much...
It's indeed an interesting and original approach, I'll give him that, but the formula for WebBS (or B$ ) is just too simplistic to have any actual meaning.
I mean the used fonts, elements spacing, etc. on some page can have a major impact on calculated result and I don't consider that to be relevant to page's bloatedness.
I was hoping that the result would detect for example the website's size inflation that occurred due to an underused JS and CSS framework(s) and thus indicate that they should be removed on that website.
I believe that the formula needs more work for it to be useful... for example it could take the total amount of web requests, that were send for a measuring page, into account.
However, that would probably be unfair as well, because typically you do not bundle some requests to leverage the cache or CDN ...
Nevertheless, I did like the thin vs the fat tribe story.

Fun article.
I checked my site, and it came out at 1.1.
I didn't like that, so I messed around a little (without changing any graphics), and got it down to 0.694 -- not too bad, considering I pre-load all the graphics.
So it's a useful tool for making me not be lazy.
CP varies (I saw a range of 1.65 to 1.9), but that's not surprising, because the content (and the advertising) changes.

Among others, I tested out my CP article (Find and Replace text in a Word document) and got ~2.5 [^], I was expecting worse because of this introduction image.
When optimized that image can be reduced by ~62%.
Also, I seen that the calculator's page has a nice score of 0.394.
Looking at its web request logs it seems it minified everything, including HTML, CSS, JS and icon font (Font Awesome).
I sure would like to know how was that done, I mean just the icon font part (the rest are common)?

weather.com is 12.6. Is that bad?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It's hard to tell weather it is bad or not.
