And I completely disagree that any of those should be called a burger. Those are names for people too lazy to actually name something, and instead try to capitalize on the existence of something else.

I see no reason why watermelon shouldn’t be grilled, but given the fact that the main ingredient is an intact cut instead of ground and formed, I’d say this is just a sandwich and doesn’t fit under the narrower definition of “burger”

I eat grilled watermelon all the time in the summer, and it’s great, although grilled pineapple is better. I’d bet that a grilled pineapple sandwich would be better than a grilled watermelon sandwich.

Damn, you’re right. I’ve gone and done Shaq wrong. 😢

67, they done goofed.

.....it’s spelled correctly, dingus.

The *vast* majority of the apps I use were installed via .exe rather than the Windows Store or other type of appstore

I’m over 50. I’ve found it best to disregard all these text etiquette rules. 

My understanding is that the 👍 emoji is a device to politely avoid the “who gets the last word” problem. It doesn’t convey any meaning other than, “I’m not gonna be offended if this thread ends here.” But it’s not as definitive as “I’m done talking with you.” The old, “Gotta go ...” is still the best way to sign off

For me, the final nail in the coffin was when it became acceptable for literally to mean figuratively.

it’s probably a real thing.  there’s a special class of people who seem to expect everyone else just “know” what they find rude, and get all bent out of shape when they don’t. 

A hundred times this. On my work slack, this is pretty much protocol. “Hey, could you approve this thing?” Thumb up. “Can you close out this entry?” Thumb up. “How’s the project going along?” (longwinded paragraph). Original asker responds with thumb up.

No, it’s a semi-polite way to acknowledge that someone said something without needing to respond with something asinine like “ok” or “fine”.  At least that’s how my group of friends uses it.  

Not universally. My friends and I use it as “Acknowledged. I have seen this message but have nothing more to contribute to it.”

I NEVER END A TEXT WITH A PERIOD!!! I USE EXCLAMATION MARKS EVERY TIME!!!

Let’s tackle people spelling “lose” as “loose” first.

Wow.  How far into the B-roll of blog ideas are we by now?

Are the writers here just bored anymore? Doctor of opinions over here trying to fluff that paycheck. Imagine thinking using periods right now in the world is an issue that warrants this type of write up...

No, I thought it was a documentary happening in real time.
