  • External Bluetooth controllers are always a pain.

    In what way? I use them and it works just fine. Plus, I already had one so it cost me nothing to use it with my phone.

    those clip-on ones are always awful.

    Again, how? The ones I have seen used work perfectly fine, plus there is a large number of devices to choose from; I am sure they aren’t all awful.

    Plus it’s splitting the battery life between two devices, nothing bugs me more than using my phone for everything only to be shocked that the battery dies twice a day.

    Most people carry a charger or battery pack with them anyways so that is not a problem. Besides aren’t you already powering two devices when you carry this thing around with you… I’m gonna guess you have Bluetooth headphones too, so that’s 3 devices now.














  • Dialect coach Meier understands the appeal of the idea that 17th-Century speech patterns have been perfectly preserved an ocean away. “It is a delightful and attractive myth that Shakespeare’s language got fossilised” in parts of the US.

    Not a great source honestly, was expecting more of a linguistic study rather than this. Even the article doesn’t entirely agree this is true.

    English is a living language that has continued to evolve within its country of origin. Is your point that because the American dialect hasn’t evolved as much suddenly makes it better somehow?

    Additionally, English is the most common language on the planet and there are many dialects, but no one outside of England can claim theirs is the “correct form of english” because it’s not their language.
