Nah, I don't blog... But something similar does happen to me often...

1) Encounter a difficult problem
2) Spend hours figuring out a solution and coding it
3) Try to move the new code into my common libraries, only to realize it's already there... With exactly the same name as I was about to give it... And has been there for over a year.

Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Ah yes, often to find that your previous solution is an elegant work of art. How did I forget this!?

Nice.

What would be funnier is sending a thank you note to the author for his article, and then immediately getting an email.

I remember what I write about, but yeah, I often revisit an article I wrote to figure out how the hell something works.

What's worse, I wrote a (Dutch) article on co- and contra variance with generics once.
At the time it all seemed very easy.
Now I don't understand my own article anymore (well, after really careful reading) Laugh | :laugh:

Whenever I see it I'm amazed at how smart I once was Poke tongue | ;-P

You're having old man problems.

On the bright side all those really bad jokes you heard will be surprising and funny again.

So whenever I'm writing I often wonder about all kinds of small and silly language details.
I just wondered what the (more?) correct translation of the Dutch word 'ingevuld' is.

My first thought was 'fill out' (as in "can you fill out this questionnaire?").
Then I though 'fill in' (as in "can you fill in this questionnaire?").
Google Translate just gives me 'fill' when I give it 'invullen'.

I think both are correct even though 'in' and 'out' are each others opposites...
Of course 'fill in' can also be used in the following sentence: "Can you fill me in on the details?", where 'fill out' would be a no-go: "Can you fill me out on the details?".

Any ideas on what I should use? In or out?

Is there a gender issue as well?
As in "she really fills out that dress" or "he quickly filled in the shallow grave" ?

Richard Deeming8-Jul-15 5:51

And why not "she quickly filled in the shallow grave"?

Or even, "he really fills out that dress"? Or have you never seen Sean on a Saturday night? Wink | ;)
