I still remember when "Where My Peeps At?" was inescapable on the internet and real life for a period of time I want to say in the early 2010s.

Welcome to the reasonable world of staunchly pro-delay people.

Delaying until 3 days before the deadline (mostly because I had other projects popping up the entire month and a half previous) is the reason I had to crunch so hard, lol.

Lego Masters Australia has begun for 2024 and once again, I am perplexed by anyone with long hair who doesn't tie it up when you're doing things that put it constantly in your face. How do you live? I would kill myself. Mine's constantly in a ponytail for this reason.

The Lego Masters starting just as the U.S. Masters ends... I see how it is.

It never fails to annoy me that no matter how many times I click on the "suggestion is wrong" button when Word or Google Docs tries to "spell check" me for using British English, the programme never seems to learn and so anything I write is just full of red squiggles.

Click on file, click on language, problem solved for google docs. I assume there's something similar for word.

The solution is probably to change keyboard language to British English, but then you have to deal with fun stuff like @ being on the " button. Incredibly annoying minor nuisance, that.

I always end up cutting my hair short on the cusp figuring out how to use hairties.

Really? I've never had that and I don't think there's a Canadian English setting, so I must be using British.

See, if I did that, I just know my hair would be in my face even more unless I kept it extremely short, because I inherited exactly one physical characteristic from my mother and it's the unruly, gravity-defying nature of her hair. Gotta keep it long to weigh it down/keep it ponytailable.

actually no wait I also got her permanently flat stomach. sorry for slandering you, mother. two things.

I'm afraid that doesn't work as both are already set to "English (United Kingdom)" - heck on Google Docs it even asks me if I want to switch to the American English setting every time i click for more details on a supposedly misspelt word.

That's so strange, I use British English and the "corrections" go away the moment I change the setting for the individual document.
