@Sphinx Does anybody by chance know a trick to get the box art to correctly display on mobile browsers? I tried nbsp and pipe symbols already. i.sstatic.net/rj7c0zkZ.png

I have no idea, I think I was also struggling with this but have never found a way
@LukasRotter it looks like this on my mobile browser. Is that as intended?

@juicifer Nice find. Is "wrought" a wp-def connector? (I'm assuming "work" here means "to form", so the wordplay formed (wrought) the definition, but do correct me if I'm wrong)
> (transitive) To shape, form, or improve a material.
(Based on Wiktionary)
Although now I'm not quite sure since that's technically a different sense of "form"
yeah I guess so? I've always read "wrought" as "brought about"; I didn't even know it was a past-tense form of "work" until now
I want to say this is an ESL moment but it's not like I'm good at my native language either
@juicifer I see...

I had a friend who was brought up speaking english who always used to say that english was his zero-th language because first language implied a level of competency that he didn't feel he had
Hah
5:04 PM
If your second language is less fluent than your first language, shouldn't your zeroth language be one in which you have an exceptionally high level of competence?
@Sphinx How interesting, among other things I haven't figured out what that backward S is doing
@GarethMcCaughan Lol I did think of that too
