You know if you just put your 10mm socket back in it's proper place when not in use you won't lose it.

Is this implying that you have a 10mm socket in a readily identifiable location?

Yeah, sure. I bet most of them are just 3/8th or 7/16th sockets and you just don't let people use them.

The zebra crossing is black and white stripes, like a zebra. The crossing guard has a big lollipop stick to wave at the traffic/final destination people who don't stop, and is usually a lady.

Perfectly normal, wait until she hears about pelican and puffin crossings too. And the other bird related one that I can't remember but is for horses.

E: pegasus crossing, which is basically a bird and also begins with P.

E2: wait no there is another bird one it's a toucan.

Pelican, puffin, and toucan are all actually perfectly sensible names once they explain it to you.

It’s a novel that started with an unfinished forum game that had reused the setting from an MMORPG that was never produced.

Shed’s death really was a player’s character being written out, but I don’t know about Holden being the DMPC. It makes sense, but it’s not explicitly stated in this article.

Miller was the co‐author’s character.

Well, that explains why it's so bland and cliched. I read the first book and just don't get why everyone's jizzing their pants over it. Even the plot twist is zombies, again, for gently caress's sake.

The setting was interesting, though. Just terrible characters and terrible plot.

All of the other letters in the word are pronounced lowercase so the E should be too.

Zed is capital Z pronunciation, lowercase z is just zzz

E: There is actually a proper word for the difference between the way you name a letter in the alphabet and the way you actually say it in a word but I couldn't figure out how to explain that to google.

Either the same as z or "ks" depending on contekst.

German is a much better language than English in some respects because it has an almost entirely descriptive written form. Even if you can't understand it it's very easy to learn to read words out loud off the page.

Does it make an "s" sound or a "K" sound? C is dang redundant

Norwegian doesn't have a C essentially for this reason. It's not that the letter is useless, though, IIRC languages like Polish, Czech and Turkish use it to denote a unique phoneme all on its own.

English spelling is just uniquely horrible, and Anglos (whether Americans or British) making fun of "weird words" are kind of like a guy who just shat his own pants but is trying to make fun of someone who just farted.
