And I'm like: I get it, we're in Canada, just chill k?
"Spectacles" as a synonym for "eyeglasses" probably has the quickest semantic satiation of any word I can think of
I say the word once and I'm like "no that's not right"

@deejoe I mean, do you still have the same computer, or even a continuous carry-over of files from the computer you used in 2001? Hahaha
An image format that includes the original image as taken by the camera, but also a non-destructively applied and constrained set of alterations or filters
So you'd have the original photo data which is never changed, but then it procedurally adds the brightness/contrast changes, straightening/cropping, colour, blur/sharpening, etc.
People could look at an Instagram-style photo and compare to the original, and photo editors wouldn't have to keep multiple copies

Have any culture ever devised a proper #hexadecimal notation? I'm not speaking about utilizing the Latin #letters (a-f/A-F) as the #digits.
