Whatever it is, it must be good. Look it's got one of those clever names where they leave out the E before the final R!

Is that page available in English?

Halleleujah! –it's not just me then.

The fact that when I read the word "awesome" I always hear it in my head in a whiny nasal American teenager voice and pronounced like "Arse-Sum" makes it even more irritating.

Hence my oft-used comment on articles here, that I've bailed out of reading after hipster-speak overload kicked in:

"Stopped reading at Arse-Sum!"

Gotta hand it to 'em. They've always had an eye for design.

Yay! Lets strap a camera to an animal while we boil it alive. It's really like 'arse-sum', man!

"...Timex unveiled Wednesday its new smartwatch.."

Never mind the recent "theatre" vs "theater" debate. At what stage did the mangled syntax above become standard 'Merkin' English?

Timex's new smartwatch is called "Wednesday"?

"...So far, more than 7 million people have purchased a piece of the moon..."

Ulimate proof of the old adage "A fool and his money..."

Of course, the conspiracy theorist might say that it's a bit too convenient to suppose the hitherto extremely clever criminals helpfully and stupidly copied their private keys across to computers controlled by 'the feds'. A bit like those supposedly 'random' police stopping of vehicles which turn out to be full of drugs or explosives.

Maybe public/private key pairs aren't as secure as we've been lead to believe.

One small step. Maybe in a few more years' time I'll be able to fill in my name (which contains an accented character) on web forms without insultingly being told "invalid name".

"...I don’t like camelCase ... The second option is to wrap your link in two brackets, like [[Example link]]..."

You can also just jump into Visual mode and highlight a word or words and hit Return and Vimwiki will add the square brackets automatically and make the link for you.

Possibly the worst piece of allegedly humorous writing I've seen this year
