Completly off topic, but English is such a frustrating written language. Re-read (is that past-tense or future-tense? unimportant!) the first part of the headline several times because I was reading:
Alphabet shares (as in file share) record (as in Guiness World) their worst day ever
Then pausing to try and decide if my brain was melting or there was a grammatical error; turns out I just read it poorly!
Whoever decided things like they’re, their, there should all sound the same, and read, read should look the same; I wish them the worst day on record.
dude at least it’s not japanese. Written japanese is easy to disambiguate, whereas spoken japanese is impossible to disambiguate to the point where the japanese themselves are trained to infer everything from context because everything they say is a homophone of everything else.
And yet, despite being trained to do pragmatics since birth… they’re one of the most conformist peoples out there. Go figure.
