Came here to say this. Ctrl+f is find in every other Microsoft product, it's their own damn standard.

Spelling and punctuation is hard

The word 'meme' lost all meaning long ago.

And I'm still annoyed by it.

Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad

I can't stand the word 'content'

Definitely agree with you there. In an effort to appear balanced they try and present different sides of an argument as if they're both valid. I guess that's how Farage got on so much.

To be fair to the BBC, they're 'supposed' to report the facts without judgement. How successful they are at that is debated endlessly, you can find anyone of any political flavour who will swear blind the BBC is 'obviously' biased against 'them'. They can't win no matter what they do.

Nosferatu. Everyone acts their socks off and it's entertaining enough but the drama felt, I don't know, a little overcranked? And I'd call it creepy rather than scary. I enjoyed it though.

And last night I rewatched The Transporter for the first time in years. It pains me to say it's not as good as I remember. I don't think I'd noticed how edited the fights are, sooo many cuts so it all seems so much faster than it is. And I love Jason Statham, his movies are reliably entertaining if a little formulaic, but his acting wasn't great in this, I felt he came off a little wooden at times. I remember at the time finding Matt Schulze's character a bit weird and he still is. What's with stroking the envelope of cash? And had Ric Young had plastic surgery? Super weird looking. Anyway, even with all my complaints it's still good fun.

It's 'defunct' but your spelling is better.

So, a half remembered Radiolab episode or maybe it was 99% Invisible talked about this. If I remember rightly they did consider changing it because it was so much quicker and easier typing in English and Chinese character set takes up a lot of storage which was a big deal in early computers. Until someone figured they could break down all the Chinese characters into a much smaller selection of base shapes. So you could make a character by pressing a small selection of keys. So it meant a much more manageable keyboard. I think it's even resulted in quick Chinese typists being faster than English ones.
