    Sure, there’s a lot of plug sockets there, but I don’t see a single plug in that image

      Five-bed home looks gorgeous on the outside - but inside there’s a horrifying amount of NEMA 5-15 receptacles

        I’m from the UK.

        It was a joke. Don’t take things so seriously

            Maybe let’s just say that you and I have different senses of humour and leave it at that.

            For me, the humour comes from the fact that I pretended not to understand the image and point out that there are no plugs in the image. It’s a bit of wordplay that relies on the fact that people sometimes call plug sockets plugs.

        To see OP make a funny, here we go!

        First (above)

        Can we please stop with this pedantic nonsense? This is just such exhausting ass behavior. Especially when you’re still wrong. Not everyone calls things the way that you do in your local area. That’s a news article from the UK where a plug socket is called a plug.

        To be a joke it has to be funny or have some comedic or humorous value. You didn’t have a punchline. You didn’t make any comedic observations. It was just pedantry and I’ve never seen anyone walk up and go “Um actually, this” and then get a laugh without being on the show Um Actually.

          I’m just here to plug for Um, Actually. If anyone wants to see pedantry be funny it’s a great show. It’s mostly behind a pay wall at Dropout.tv (formerly collegehumor) but if you like DnD actual play, whose line is it anyway, or game shows it’s well worth the $5 a month to support a streaming service that isn’t evil and makes great content.

        the technical term is a convenience receptactle, which accepts the plugs from the item that needs power.

        Colloquially you’re correct. But in discussion its proabably worth it to differentiate, but I definitely still say “wheres the plug-in” at.

      You would have to come to my house to see a horrifying(but impressive and… Expensive) number of plugs
