That's my point. All news articles on technical and scientific topics are written for "normies," including likely the commenter for many disciplines. Seemed to be used derogatorily to me, but I'll concede I could have misinterpreted.

As of this moment it still gives me a 404.

Not where I'm from. Looks like a shorter version of the capital letter.

Here's a worksheet that shows how I learned to hand write w without cursive.

The low population states have the most to lose if the Electoral College is overturned. Because they are disproportionately powerful under the EC, any candidate that threatens that power could lose support needed to win under... the EC.

If people had more proclivity for voting for the greater good over their personal, narrow interests, a lot more wonderful things would happen.

With less cursive being taught and used, this association will eventually disappear. But yes, despite it not being where the letter name came from, growing up I always thought of the appears of w in cursive writing as evidence it is connected more with u than v.

I feel the same way about cocaine. There have been reports of murder in the cocaine trade.

His comment was no more insulting than yours, IMHO.
