I wonder how the built-in Google and Apple IMEs compare.

That’s basically what Arlington National Cemetery is. The union government seized the land of Robert E. Lee, and planning for if they couldn’t keep it after the war, decided to turn it into a cemetery to basically make it useless as a farm/estate. Lee’s heirs eventually sued and won the land back, but didn’t have much use for it, so they sold it back to the government.

Stop arguing semantics. We’re done here.

Compare to Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass:

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master——that’s all.

Yeah, if you want to make up your own definitions to the words you use, and then order those around you to stop arguing semantics, then you’re basically not having a conversation at all.

Your comment was confusing because you don’t seem to understand what is or isn’t part of an operating system, and the mere mention of the operating system was pretty far removed from any relevance to your own point.

It’s a proprietary service, and if you want to argue that companies can run proprietary services in a closed manner, denying access to third party clients, cool, that can be your position, but it would be an incoherent position to claim that only OS developers should have that right.

I still say “y’all.”

Y’all means all.

Why can’t we just wirelessly transmit the power, maybe have it hit a collection device that can harness about 4 kwh/m^2/day

My favorite example, in Chinese-speaking families, is just how common it was for people to say “open”/“close” the lights, instead of turning on/off the lights.

Also, in Chinese, “no” is not a complete sentence in answering a yes/no question, so the way one generally says no is to just repeat the verb in the negative: “Are you going to the store?” is answered with “Not going.” So sometimes native Chinese speakers repeat the verb when speaking in English, too.

And my personal favorite example, is how the phrase “long time no see” entered the English lexicon: the two leading theories are that it either came from Native American or Chinese speakers. I wouldn’t take sides on that debate, but will note that it pretty directly fits a direct translation of the Chinese phrase.
