Case (in)?sensitive filesystems are :doing_it_wrong:
-
@Rhywden Because to me it means the same thing. If I say it in my head it sounds and means the same thing.
Where I am from in England there is a big problem with "could of" vs "could have". the second is obviously correct. But almost all of my corrections from my English teacher and my friends were because of similar things.
TL;DR; In my accent they sound exactly the same.

Well, then show me the editor which does what he says
It's possible -- you may want to sit down for this -- for all programs to be wrong.
Perhaps even probable!

@aliceif No it isn't because of that.
I got an A in Organic Chemistry :D at A-level ... so I know what Alcohol looks like in a chemical formula.

Pray tell, in which bumfuck part of your country does "was" sound like "were"?
-
@Rhywden Come to England and find out. With your attitude you will be told to get told to "fuck off".
That is another English term btw.
-
@lucas1 Let me see: Shitty weather, people who can't speak their own language and bad food.
Yeah, no.
-
@Rhywden "people who can't speak their own language"
I can. By definition I am native English so I can speak my own language. Also everyone else in England that are English can speak English. Maybe ... just maybe as a German you can't speak English as good as we can!
I just don't speak it like you were taught. How novel, that the class room isn't the same as real life.

I beg to differ.
-
@Rhywden Well being a Grammar Nazi really is becoming of the stereotype so far.
Why don't you just wear the brown shirt and be done with it.

Naw, Prince Harry has already been there and I'm not a copycat.
-
@Rhywden Sorry "Naw" isn't a word in the dictionary. Try again.
Also he just had a Nazi band on his arm, not the full uniform.

Oh, good, you finally found one! Might I also suggest using this one as well?
-
@lucas1 said in Case (in)?sensitive filesystems are :

At this point I feel like I should admit I speak largely with Received Pronunciation. I should also point out I'm worse about bad grammar than my girlfriend @royal_poet who is German - and an immigrant, so I guess we both upset your delicate sensibilities even more.
-
There is a big difference between speaking it everyday in England and speaking / typing it correctly elsewhere.
I used to live in Spain, Thailand and their written English was perfect but their spoken English was crap.
Sorry mate the real world isn't like a text book.
-
@lucas1 Yes, yes, the glorious: "Everyone does it wrong so I'm excused for sounding like an idiot!"
The problem with that excuse: Everyone may indeed do it wrong. You still sound like an idiot.
-
@Rhywden Nope.
You are the one being an idiot because you are denying the defacto way for the dejure way because you are trying to being intellectually pure. Which nobody cares about when it comes to linguistics. Because language is something that evolves over time. I would agree if it was science or maths, but it is language.
In anycase, you are still being a prick because you were being a grammar nazi and nobody likes one of those.
-

I'm sure there's people out there who are actually into that.
-
@aliceif I have one as a friend when I care about grammar checking my work, internet forums ... not so much.
-
@lucas1 Did you just open your dictionary at random pages to inject some intelligent words into your ramblings?
"Defacto" and "dejure" are not supposed to be used like that. Because "defacto" means "life partner" and "dejure" is actually spelt "de jure".
-
Fair enough it should be spelt de-jure, but that is again you being a pedant cunt face. But everything else you said was wrong.
You just proved what I was saying.
- Defacto is used in English conversation to mean "the established standard" - "in fact, whether by right or not." It is the standard because the the reality e.g. Microsoft Windows is the defacto operating system for x86 Desktop PCs.
- De-jure "According to rightful entitlement or claim; by right". Basically it is a something that is not enforced, even though it should be e.g. something like XHTML standards or some similar spec that Browser makers choose to ignore.
I used them correctly. Fuck you.
The definitions of both words are exactly what we are arguing about. Because you are being again disingenuous.
-
@lucas1 No, "de facto" means "in fact". "Defacto" is a life partner in Australia. And lose the hyphen in "de jure".
-
@Rhywden Nope. Look at the dictionary links. You are wrong.
The term "defacto standard is VHS" would be a correct statement if we were in the early 90s.
The term "defacto standard now is bluray" would be a correct statement for disc based movies.

Dude...
-
@Rhywden Nope you are wrong.
Oxford dictionary disagrees
-
I honestly don't get how someone can have the dictionary entry right in his face and still spell it wrong.
Must take a BAC of epic levels.
-
@Rhywden de-facto or defacto. It doesn't matter FFS, you are just being a prick for the sake of it. Like you usually are.
Are you honestly arguing about a space in a latin word that isn't commonly used? Christ you must be fun at parties.
Again you keep on proving my point.
-
@lucas1 I wrote several posts that have ultimately the same point as Rhywden, which is that if you're going to use big words to prove how clever you are, then proceed to get them repeatedly wrong does somewhat undermine your point. I just didn't bother pointing it out because I knew it would go back and forth in a round of 'no, you're wrong, no YOU'RE wrong' like we're seeing here. Rhywden is just more of a glutton for punishment than I am.

I agree that UTF-16 is the worst Unicode encoding
What about UTF-18?
-
@Arantor I just stopped replying to lucas1 altogether. There's no point.
-
I wasn't using big words to prove how clever I was. These are standard terms in law, which I have some training in (mostly civil, some criminal) and some copyright law. These were usually taught by lawyers btw.
The first lecture was "ask all the stupid legal questions to get it our of your systems" before proper lectures began.
I have seen them "de facto" and "de jure" spelled differently btw in lecture halls in England by lawyers. Nobody cared until this conversation with @Rhywden whether they had a space or not.
So I will take a lawyers word over @Rhywden thanks.
I was just trying to tell him how language isn't something that is just taught in classrooms. But he decided to take an off the cuff comment as a cunt face german brown shirt.

Yesh, marshter. I'm shorry, marshter.

@Rhywden Good. Now do us all a favour and fuck off.
-
@Yamikuronue I will put that down to you being more of an SJW than anything else.
-
@lucas1 said in Case (in)?sensitive filesystems are :

Maybe if a lot of people have a problem with you, the problem isn't that they all have issues individually.
-
@Arantor I think on an internet forum where people will find an excuse to have a problem with you they will tend to say you are the "other" and "not worth the effort".
Even when being polite. I think it says more about them than I.
-
@Yamikuronue said in Case (in)?sensitive filesystems are :

Indeed. I think I'll regard him like one of those annoying Pekinese (y'know, the kind of dog with a muzzle much bigger than its brain and too stupid not to bark at a doorknob).
-
@Rhywden If you say so mate.
You were the one that was arguing about a space in a two Latin terms to prove you were the "big dog".

To be fair, while it's true that tends to be a little bit cunty, tends to be a little bit dickish (I think he's got a heavy dose of that famous German sense of humor). So that goes for both of them, really.
-

I told you guys before, our humor is removed at birth and then sent to work in the salt mines.
And the proper term is not "dick", but "prick". Get it right!
-
@Rhywden Yes you are a prick. No argument about that.

@HardwareGeek Oh you are another cunt as well.

I guess the truth hurts, Yami. You're the one who said it.

@GodEmperor fuck off. Don't be an ass. And the downvote was from me, not Yami.
This isn't a thread. All of you need to chill the fuck out.

Not since Windows 2000, now it's UTF-16. Worst of both worlds: variable length and always at least twice the memory.
No, it isn't UTF-16, because the system will happily accept invalid encoding. And I mean I just slapped
#include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h> #include "windows.h" int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { HANDLE h = CreateFile(L"\xd83d\xdca9\xdca9\xd83d.txt", GENERIC_WRITE, 7, nullptr, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, nullptr); DWORD len; WriteFile(h, "That's it!\n", 11, &len, nullptr); CloseHandle(h); return len == 11; }
into Visual Studio and compiled it and ran it (on Windows 7 we still have at $work, but Windows 7 > Windows 2000) and got a file named by that string, which you can clearly see is a surrogate sequence and reverse of the same sequence, which obviously can't be correct both ways.
Most programs, including most system ones, interpret the surrogate sequences if they can, making it kinda UTF-16. But the system still accepts lone surrogates and invalid surrogate sequences, making it UCS-2. Or perhaps WTF-16 is more appropriate.
Yup. In a recent question on MSDN forum, some POS printing library makes the surrogate characters be rendered as standalone one because of this.
