But what's a single one of those called?

A one? A hundredth and thousandth??

I need to know!!

Thank you! I really hate super ambiguous gaming acronyms, that even as a gamer myself, I either can't understand or have to rack my brains to figure out. It's really bloody annoying!

Why do you hate train drivers so much!?

A small delay for a single train, on a network of thousands, is not enough for the "evil train company" employees, that you seem to think that they all for some reason.

The world isn't quite as black and white as you seem to believe it is!

Why on earth would a train operator care about timetables over basic ethics? They are human beings, not robots, you know?

The controller and driver both get paid either way, and I'm sure the train driver is used getting home late on occasion - and I expect they get overtime pay, so he may well be laughing anyway.

And the controller, or whatever they're called, will just be seeing it as a PR issue. The slight lost money on the refunds (that passengers actually bother to put through) is easily worth the good PR.

Edit: Missed random words, impatient brain running too fast for fingers.

If they were just taking it themselves, that is, unfortunately a lot of these shitwads have children and other dependants.

Hah! Three words and you still spelled one wrong.

Also... I'm all for the language evolving and words changing their meaning over time, as they've always done, but that one is crazy. Hopefully common use will, in time, fix that and get that new definition changed... but ehh, I don't hold much hope.

Bring on the AI overlords? Reading the Polity (Sci Fi) series at the moment, and it really doesn't seem like a bad option!

I'm just going to assume they meant that sarcastically.

The title correcting it to further is what caught my attention, but no, I'm not seeing people taking huge issue with it either.

And there's nothing wrong with being correct, I like to be eloquent too.

I was just saying farther is just as correct as further, and found it interesting is all. They may have been misused a hundred years ago, but not for a long long time, they have identical meanings nowadays!

Farther is the correct word, and has been confused with further for so long (over a hundred years), that they both mean exactly the same thing nowadays, so not sure why people are taking issues with it.

Unless I'm missing something?

It might take a while to get all the syllables, and I fully expect them to get 'mama' first, but I'm gonna aim for 'destroyer of worlds'.

That too. Stop the unsolicited fisting!
