We let one man ruin a perfectly good style of stache, we should not let another jackass ruin a perfectly good style of underwear.

Also bad is that hair dryers don't spread their heat around very well at all. You can easily create hotspots on the object and damage things with them.
The answer is that many languages import their demonyms from different foreign languages. The reason for the inconsistencies is the different, unrelated sources for words.
You seem to be imagining people HYAAAAAHHing their foot on the clutch pedal full force with bulging veins on their temples. It's just that you typically put quite a bit more force on that pedal compared to a brake pedal even if it's not exactly violent. It's slamming in relative terms.
He's allergic to that stuff. Otherwise he'd have done that with the ship more than that one time in that one episode, instead of wasting his life away tapping on a console like a filthy meatbag.
Yeah that's a rather important point that's conveniently left out too often. I routinely extract individual files out of large archives. Pretty easy and quick with zip, painfully slow and inefficient with (most) tarballs.
Keyboards have two layouts: a physical layout and a logical layout. The physical layout defines what the keyboard looks like, and the logical layout defines what signal each key sends to the computer. Qwerty is a logical layout, ISO and ANSI are physical layouts. Qwerty keyboards exist commonly in both ISO and ANSI layouts.
Some of those read like Culture ship names.
It's the marketing. Always the marketing. Especially the SEO guys.
One SEO guy we worked with told us not to cache our websites because he was convinced that it helped. He badgered us about it for weeks, showed us some bullshit graphs and whatever. One day we got fed up and told him we'd disabled the cache and he should keep an eye out for any improvements in traffic. Obviously we didn't actually do anything of the sort because we are not fucking idiots. Couple days later the SEO wizard sent us another bunch of figures and said "see, I told you it would help I know my stuff". He did not, in fact, know his stuff.
Excuse me if I don't appreciate when the compiler adamantly refuses to do its job when there's one single unused variable in the code, when it could simply ignore that variable and warn me instead.
I also don't enjoy having to format datetime using what's probably the most reinventing-the-wheel-y and most weirdly US-centric formatting schemes I have ever seen any programming language build into itself.
I see what you did there
