yes

That's great and all but how was their work?

I'll have to look into this. In some limited cases verbosity that leads to a more obvious and understandable presentation is preferable, at least to me.

Factoid is is used correctly here. There are two meanings though strangely they are opposite in terms of truthiness

These two stuck out as well. I wonder if the issue is with their coding practices and not necessarily a fault with the language.

If the issue is one of fundamentals it will only follow them to the next project or language

They might not even know the answer themselves and have a solution in front of them that they are comparing yours to.

Then they just said the first thing that came to their mind rather than that they don't know.

I would prefer it be more explicit and say, "each digit can only be used once".

Different can be interpreted in multiple ways.

Reminds me of a physics test where the question is something like:

Susie is almost at her house and comes to a stop in 4 seconds. What was her acceleration.

What is the scientific method used in physics

An alternative idea is that the pope is only saying that so the science-minded folks don't leave.

I know it hides similar parts of a series of emails because it cuts off my email salutation and sometimes people think that I'm being disrespectful. I wish I could stop it from doing that.

If true, I wonder how similar these emails were to have that happen.

I hate to say it but after reading all of your comments this on in particular think I'm sold on the idea and I was really against it when I read your first comment. I don't know if will catch on but I would definitely give it a chance.

Is it the is/are issue?

Maybe they are using it as a mass noun or speaking specifically about the the phrase itself or the idea of data structures. Could stem from a cultural or ESOL reason.

I take commercial to mean lian-li (who made their old cases), cooler aster, antec, etc. Large volume manufacturers.

It's probably easier for them to vertically integrate the case into their business than go with a low volume niche manufacturer and deal with the hazards that come with that

I have the same issues with rules like that.

Like not ending a sentence with a preposition. It is a thing for which I will not stand
