Just so you know, the phrase you're thinking of as historic and racist is "colored people". People of Color is a more modern example of people-first language that has been broadly accepted as politically correct. Admittedly, at face value it seems like a very minor difference, but the historical context of a slur is 90% of the problem a lot of the time, so here we are.

People always argue that -num isn't a legitimate way for the name of an element to end, but I never see you guys talking about Platinium.

Genuinely curious if this applies to moron and idiot, since they have basically the same origin story.

Yeah, I feel like anyone giving OOP the benefit of the doubt is overlooking that part.

If something is marketed as "unlimited", I don't think there is such a thing as "wildly excessive use". This isn't a competitive eater going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and being mad about getting kicked out. It's a business using a service in a way that's seemingly in-line with what they paid for.

I just want to say I'm sorry, on behalf of all Americans, for exporting Black Friday to the rest of the world.
