Noah Webster, Jr. (October 16, 1758 – May 28, 1843), was a lexicographer, textbook pioneer, English-language spelling reformer, political writer, editor, and prolific author. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education". His blue-backed speller books taught five generations of American children how to spell and read, secularizing their education.

In Japan, men with comb overs are called "bar code men" (バーコード人), referring to the similarity between the striations caused by the comb and the UPC on products. The "barcode style" is called "bākōdo na kamigata" (バーコードな髪型).

The lyrics for the song tell of the singer meeting a "devil woman" and she giving him love. The chorus of the song includes the song's famous stutter and speaks of her looking at him with big brown eyes and [saying] 'You ain't seen nothin' yet. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet. Here's somethin' that you're never gonna forget. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet.'

every word of this makes me think it's deep-cover satire Wookiepedia posted:A Rodian male lived in the galaxy during the finale decades of the Galactic Republic. The Rodian was present on the Republic capital planet of Coruscant around 22 BBY, the first year of an intergalactic war known as the Clone Wars. The Rodian could have been found walking the streets of Coruscant's bowels, and was once walking among a crowd that included the Jedi padawan Anakin Skywalker. or at least that's what it was on darthipedia, the good folks at wookiepedia just played it straight for whatever reason by writing five paragraphs that say the same thing

Shibboleths in computing culture [edit] Shibboleths in computing culture include the following: • Computer software hobbyists and hackers may refer to their work as programming or coding, while others in salaried positions may refer to their job as software development or software engineering. Both major alternatives carry negative connotations to some members of opposing groups and their associates. (The debate centers on the level of complexity that should be implied to people who do not have the skills or time to evaluate for themselves.) • The spelling of the Perl programming language is occasionally used as a shibboleth; the all-uppercase spelling PERL (as if it were an acronym) is often considered incorrect. (Sometimes, a further distinction between "Perl" (the language) and "perl" (the interpreter for the language) is made.) See also the naming of Perl. In contrast, BASIC, APL, and COBOL language names should all be upper-case since they are acronyms. • The use of hacker as a professional descriptive, complimentary term[26] as opposed to its mainstream media pejorative use in the context of criminal activity. • Network Neutrality is used by internet activists and netizens to describe a basic functioning principle of the Internet. Meanwhile those with political ties referencing network neutrality use the term in reference to legislation that would enforce network neutrality. • HTML5 must be spelled with no space, which is different from the previous versions. A spelling that was confusing even for the experts during a time,[27] and remains not well understood in the computing community.

Shibboleths in fandom [edit] • Within science fiction fandom, especially among older members of organised fandom, the use of the term "sci-fi" is often regarded as being at least faintly derogatory. As such, sf is far more commonly met as an abbreviation of science fiction within fannish circles.[28] • Outside the anime fandom, the word anime is often pronounced or written incorrectly, for example pronouncing it as "eh-nim" or "ah-nim" (as two syllables), spelling it as animé (with the intention of indicating the last vowel shouldn't be silent, though people in the fandom generally learned this early on), or in the case of agglutinative languages, appending incorrect suffixes to it due to their limited exposure to the word. (Such as in Hungarian, writing "anime-okat" or "animékat" instead of the grammatically and phonetically correct "animéket", indicating the plural and possessive case of "anime".) Considering these, most fans of anime could discern their peers not being fans with good certainty. • The term "geek" often has a negative connotation unless you're in the performing arts in school ("drama geek", "choir geek", "band geek"), an avid user and fan of computers software and hardware in general ("computer geek") or a dedicated fan of computer, tabletop, or live action role playing or strategy games ("gamer geek"), in which case it is seen as denoting that one is not only a member of a given community, but a dedicated one at that. Even among those who do not use the term it is generally recognized and accepted as it can often indicate that the individual using the term is an older (usually 30+ years) and longtime member of that given community.
