Yeah, my parents took this approach with veggies too. Luckily it didn't put me off completely, but I can certainly see how it could.

It's a shame how many of my parent's generation just don't know how to cook anything that isn't boil it in a pot until it's soft - it isn't like the other, tastier methods are difficult or take longer either.

Honestly, it makes sense. Something's gotta give or we're all fucked. We should already be eating less red meat and dairy anyway since they're less healthy than white meat and milk alternatives - adding the economic incentive would be a push in the right direction to be healthier and more eco-friendly.

Considering the grey market is filled with dodgy keys, it'd be better to just pirate, especially when there are easy and safe ways to do it like with MAS

If you must have MS office, then I'd go with MAS/Massgrave like others have said.

It's well documented, requires minimal setup (if going default route), and is much less risky than going into the grey market for keys or downloading cracks elsewhere.

Hamas wants a permanent cease-fire. Israel wants a temporary truce.

I suppose having your victims very publically calling out for peace, and actively trying to push for negotiations alongside other countries would "confuse" the narrative that they're supposed to be bloodthirsty animals.

Exactly. If they'd gone with the carrot approach rather than the stick, I bet way more people would've just gone with it for way less fuss

That may be their objective, but they’ve clearly failed and should be rewritten to reflect reality, evidenced by the fact that half of scientific journals use Aluminum.

Once again - American journals.
You're downright ignorant to suggest that because one country refuses to follow an internationally agreed upon naming scheme it should be rewritten to suit you. That's the kind of logic that should come from a little kid, not a country.

Of course if you’d like to stick entirely with the academic prescriptions, you’re free to not use “email” in French, singular they in English, AI instead of KI in Norwegian [...]

I don't have enough context about all the examples you list to make an informed opinion of them, but I can certainly take a crack at a couple...

singular they in English

Singular they was historically discouraged in academic writing as it was seen as informal, but doesn't mean it was never acknowledged.
It has been used, just not widely - though with an academic swing towards gender-neutral language, it is seen as acceptable by most academic style guides...
However, in the scientific world you're not really supposed to refer to yourself personally in papers in the first place, so it's about as accepted as any other pronoun.

AI instead of KI in Norwegian

That's not just a Norwegian thing, it's a difference due to language.
AI is not an internationally standardised terminology, so of course different languages with different component words and/or grammar are going to end up with different acronyms.

For example, the Germans and Dutch also refer to it as KI (though in Dutch AI is also acceptable), and in Spain and France IA is the standard - that doesn't mean that academics wouldn't just agree on a term when working internationally.

As said before, I don't know enough about the other examples to make informed discussion of them, but the examples I do have context for are do not fall in the same category as America outright refusing to use internationally agreed upon terminology.

In any case, I don't think you're going to be convinced by any of the words I'm saying, nor do I think I'll be convinced by anything you could say, so I'm going to leave this here before I throw too much time into an endless back and forth.

Ah of course, the heavily American-centric forum is obviously the perfect way to prove the entirely American misspelling is the correct one /s

You can spell or pronounce Aluminium however you like, but there is only one internationally recognised spelling, and it's not "Aluminum"

Those "archaic rules" exist to standardise international science communication, not to make America feel better about its inability to standardise to save its life.

Oh, really?

The official IUPAC spelling is "Aluminium" - notice how there are two "I"s in there.

Since IUPAC is quite literally the international authority on chemical terminology, I'd suggest their spelling is the correct one.

If you want to spell it wrong, you do you, but don't act like it's the correct way to spell it.

I downright expect this behaviour from mega-corps, they're basically evil by definition - but it's a damn shame to see that kinda corruption out of a charity

Haste makes waste - if you want quality content, let the dev and their team take the time they need.

Rock. Stick will rot quickly, but the rock will stick around as long as I don't lose it
