Heeby Jeeby Man

12:26 AM

I pass on what was contacted

Rand al'Thor

@Rubio why?

@Rubio HECTARE

Rubio

@Randal'Thor why not. it's visually distracting to have alternating italics, and it's much simpler just to bold the lot at once

HECTARE ✔

huh?

That was my word

12:28 AM

oh.

Rand al'Thor

@Rubio nothing wrong with doing something a bit distinctive ;-)

@HeebyJeebyMan I suspected so.

Heeby Jeeby Man

@Rubio erlang programmers would probably take issue with it being called esoterric

Rubio

@Randal'Thor indeed. fair for them may not be fair for particular defenders

Heeby Jeeby Man

Rand al'Thor

It's a term used for asexual people.

Rubio

Heeby Jeeby Man

Sorry Brain-Flak not Brian-Flak

Rand al'Thor

"starts left" is way too little cluing to expect people to know that

Rubio

neither the language nor "stacks" were clued at all, but - sure - sounds good. :)

Christopher 2EZ 4RTZ
