It's good that there's a comment underneath the top-voted answer, but still, I doubt anyone uses split-screen, let alone split-screen mode to talk about a primarily multi-window arrangement.
By uses I mean actually talks that way in real life.
I mean I guess some folks might use it, and everyone will probably understand it, but the immediate connotation isn't that of a multi-window arrangement, in any event.

I know this is true, but I always feel like it's especially true when I have conversations with my brother.

Q: Correct pronunciation of EFI

Ivan OlshanskyOutside the UK/USA people pronounce acronym EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) in two different versions: [ɪfɪ] and [ɪ-ef-aɪ]. The first argue their pronunciation that 'I', for example, mean 'Interface' ([ˈɪntəfeɪs]) and should be read as [ɪ]. The second argue that the English letter 'I' is rea...

Um, surely not? No one would ever use either pronunciation.

I'm thinking of how to respond. They must think the letters in their transcriptions mean different sounds than they actually do.

Perhaps they have trouble distinguishing between the FLEECE and KIT vowels, as well?

Well, everyone seems to be ignoring that aspect of the question and just assuming they meant something they didn't say. Which is probably fine, since they probably did, but it's a little weird.

@snailboat Yep. But it won't hurt to correct them anyway.

Do note that /ɪ/ and /i:/ are not the same thing. The letter E is pronounced /i:/, so the initialism EFI would be pronounced /ˌi: ef ˈaɪ/. If you pronounce EFI as a word, rather than as individual letters, I think you'd end up with /ˌi:fi/. Regardless, I think you've gotten your point across. — userr2684291 2 mins ago
There we go.
Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes.

I've finally fixed the up arrow key. There wasn't a tutorial online for my particular model, so I had to make do with what there is.
It appears the little rubber thing in the middle is showing signs of wear, so I might have to replace it somehow. I tried uncapping another key, but the rubber thingy in the middle won't come off, and I'm afraid I'll tear it somehow.
Also, my fingertips hurt from trying to essentially stretch the hard plastic hinges so as to insert the tiny protruding pieces into their corresponding holes. The whole thing feels shabby and I didn't like the sounds I heard when I pressed the key cap back into its place.

Q: SB and STH in dictionaries

Araucaria tell sb to do sth (Cambridge Learner's Dictionary) When I look in dictionaries, I often see the words sb and sth. Are these proper words? What do they mean? Can I use these words in my essays, for example? Can I use these words in my posts on Stack Exchange?

@CowperKettle many children’s songs have hand gestures... so don’t just make an arch, compose a song ;)

I immediately thought that we use hand gestures when teaching little kids stuff... but I think secondary school kids would feel right tits if they were being told to make hand gestures. Though we did use gestures when learning gauche, droit and droite in French. Can't remember any other time we did, though.
