@snailboat hehe thanks. My pleasure. These are side effects of MS Word :D

@snailboat it’s not very scholarly, but the language is entertaining.

In my opinion the article is entertaining for the sole reason that it depicts how fervently these singular and (slightly un·?)fortunately influential individuals hewed to their beliefs about language, regardless of how wrong they were (I suppose, subjectively, they weren't wrong – you can't be wrong in saying someone/something is (not) pretty to you, for instance – but their subsequent claims about language itself definitely were). Cool, they were humans too.

@userr2684291 My statement doesn't necessarily mean last month was 30 days . . .

Right...

@userr2684291 Or as Mitch said, full of hyperbole

It's not like it started a war or something

Lol.

Bickering is only considered war if you want to start one. And in, like, 1000 A.D.

Around the same time that guy put on his glasses and saw the Halley comet

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Why for 30 days though, why not ... 31? Or 29?

31 is 30 if you're approximate enough

I actually had the Hijri month in my mind, because of the eating time changes in Ramadan

Even that was 29 I think

So just, stop nitpicking

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ That's even worse.

Haha.

Fitting 30 into 29 is like, some sort of caricature of some things.

OK, I'm done.

I got my old shows to rewatch, analyze some fugly SQL (imagine a blogpost of a.CLOC <> b.LOC and a.MLD <> b.CLOC and...-like statements), and then do some actual studying.

I'm out. I've got some boring stud . . . memorizing to do

Good luck.
