isn't that the plural of pigus?!

I believe the correct spelling in the singular is igpay, the plural being igspay.

igpay atinlay and pigus latinus are different languages that evolved from the same root. They share a relationship similar to that between Italian and Spanish.

2 weeks ago, news broke of passing on of a WWE wrestler, Kamala whose real name is James Harris. Then, a few days later, Biden announced Kamala Harris as his running mate in the Presidential Election. Clearly, this is the work of a lazy Matrix technician who won't put in enough effort to think of unique names for his characters in his simulated world.
Knowing that I am living in a Matrix, I cannot do nothing: I have to jailbreak!
Please, if any of you, kind folks can share with me the phone booth and number to dial home to speak with the Matrix technician.
Your help is very much appreciated!
Thanks!
Special thanks to CP insider news (on 20 Nov 2019) that I was able to connect the dots.

Come on, there should exist a phone booth where a pretty woman walking towards.

Not anymore. They have all been coverted to walking telephone booths themselves. Their brain pacemakers are now plugged into their hollow heads, adding yet another level of simulation they can't escape from.
Besides that, you can't tell me you did not have a summer job as NPC in Doom or Quake as a student.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Alas, I was a student long before Doom - the best I could get was a temporary gig in Colossal Cave to occasionally say "PLUGH" when the player walked through my room.

Nah, I missed that gig - pity, he made a fortune in royalties from that one.

Look - it's not too late (so long as you don't want to be paid). ROGUE is still alive and living in Dungeon Crawl.
Surely you could help in that endeavor? For example, you could create a new dungeon offshoot for obtaining an orb that is modeled after Whales, or if you really want to go dark, model it after France.
But you can still be a part of something enduring and oh-so-much fun.

You'll see it, if it exists: it'll stand out like a sore thumb and I haven't seen a single phone booth in real life for what? Twenty years?

Here is what s programmer who often speaks bad or broken English would type when programming. The code he would add is something like:
var mike
If (mike =jerk) Than
mike=0
end
var less_then
if (joe = less_then ) than
joe=100
end
joe.status = definately
Then the log reads:
Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than"
Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then"
Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"

Um. I don't really get your point.
Yes, that's rubbish code.
No, it won't compile in any sensible language. Even English.
But quite why you posted it here I have no idea.

Don't you speak in your mind when writing code? If this happens then do this, but you type out c#. If your English was not very good, you're c# would also not compile.

I think the whole point was to get to the (highlighted) punch line:
Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than"
Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then"
Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"
To give whomever it is a break, I'd say it must have seemed funnier when he/she thought of it when it actually turned out.

Exactly. If the compiler catches it all, then why is it even a problem to be discussed?
If it doesn't compile, it shouldn't be checked in. Which means I'll never get to see your broken code.
(well, not any code that breaks any syntax rule...)

Maybe take it to "Weird and Wonderful" ?
It does point out why computer languages should not be based on natural language.

Better yet...
Start a "Weird and Not So Wonderful"
Remember, no matter where you go... there you are.
