        Standardized word meanings being recognized and adhered to really brings me joy.
        I don’t like that meanings change over time.

          Oh man, I have bad news for you about living languages…

          But no, I know what you mean, I don’t like it either.

            bad news for you about living languages…

            Is it “the good ones, like French, gate-keep changes to prevent capricious drift by vapid Instagram whores, and the others are ‘literally’[sic] English”?

      So on one hand, yes. On the other hand, there are tasks that are onerous to non technicians.

      If you asked me to do it manually, sure. I’ve interacted with a bunch of software, understand measurement systems, done some programming etc.

      My wife on the other hand… There’s no overlap between ecology or life sciences in this task. Outside her ability.
