There was a funny once where in some internal email thread at ARM Cambridge, a bunch of furriners started debating some aspect of English grammar or whatever.

Someone (offline) asked the opinion of a native. They responded along the lines of "these people learned English by studing it, I'm not getting involved".

Defrosting button is great. Only mode I use the toaster in unless it's bagels/crumpets.

Of course, our toaster is very fancy. It has an "a little bit more" button.

Trying to see rules in the English language is like trying to see intelligence in chatgpt.

Sounds like every "use open source inside $megacorp" project I've seen.
