Who knows two hundred forty-one? Please cite/link your sources, if possible. At some point at least twenty-four hours from now, I will: Upvote all interesting answers. Accept the best answer. Go on to the next number.

We're proud of our tortilla chips and we hope you'll agree. It may seem trivial but I've seen similar remarks on other products and it just doesn't feel like a valid sentence because I can't determine what they hope I'll agree with them about. I don't think I'm just missing out on the cont...

This link states that When you use the present perfect tense you have to be talking about a period of time that you still consider to be going on. For example, if it’s still morning, you can say, “I’ve shaved this morning.” But if it’s afternoon or evening, all of a sudden “I’ve ...

I can't ask a question. The website keeps giving me "Sorry, we can't accept this question." My title: what's a consumer-tech weblog / website? My question: Hi all, what's a consumer-tech weblog / website (and why is it called that way) ? My tags: vocabulary

The point is for people to introspect about their question and why it wasn't accepted. Bear in mind this is an extremely low quality bar we're talking about here. They are being classified into the lowest quality 1% of all questions asked on the site. If we provide a "formula" then it's just ano...

Personally I dislike all the game-mechanics stuff (badges and reputation). I appreciate that others like it, but I would like there to be way to opt-out. Questions and answers would just then have the user-name with something to symbolize that this user has chosen not to participate in reputation...

The recent question by Joel on Logo got me thinking. This has been raised on user voice, but has been declined. Would someone with lesser rep or a less famous name have received the same number of votes/answers as Joel? I know the question was briefly closed, but it got reopened when the intent...

Previously, I asked about a feature request for adding a batting average, as a tool for giving more info on the person supplying the answer. From the answers given, it seems like I've been putting too much importance on the rep score - it shouldn't be taken seriously, it's just a number, judge a...

It's always fun to be collecting stuff (rep, badges etc) so it would be fun to see somewhere how many stars you've gotten on chat. I asked Marc on The Tavern and he wasn't against it but it's just a matter of finding the time. The metric would have no meaning, just a number so if it would be abu...

I've always believed the past tense of sync ("I sync my phone with my computer") to be synced ("I synced my phone with my computer yesterday"). This question would seem to suggest either synced or synched. I have a friend who insists the past tense is sunk. I'd appreciate if you could make thi...

I was never interested in grammar and English in school. Now that I am older, I am finding it was more important than I gave it credit. Especially with the people I deal with at work. Plus, I am finding an interest for it now. Anyway, I've noticed over the years that when referring to a perso...

Reading different specifications and manuals I've noticed that more often and often pronouns she or her are being used when some unknown person's behavior is described. For example: "when user opens the first screen, let she be notified about smth" or "let user input her address". Actually, I've...

Most people know that rhyming slang is a colorful addition to British English, where someone says something that is not the intended word but rhymes with it. For example, "He was brown bread," might be understood to mean "He was dead." When I watch British films I hear a lot of it, and some of i...

Okay, I'm probably being a bit slow here, but I don't quite understand this story: Supposedly an editor had clumsily rearranged one of Churchill’s sentences to avoid ending it in a preposition, and the Prime Minister, very proud of his style, scribbled this note in reply: “This is the sort of...
