Sorry, but if you were born in the early 90s, you're not Gen Z, you're a millennial. The general cutoff for Gen Z is usually agreed to be about 1997.

This is probably true for most casual use, but after a couple months of constant weekly Smash tournaments, my stick eventually wore down and started drifting. The D-pad is also notoriously mushy and often picks up ghost inputs when moving quickly back and forth.

Both of these issues are fixable with some not so difficult controller modding, but I wasn't willing to make the effort.

I ended up with the 8bitdo Pro 2 for general use like someone else in this thread suggested and the Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller with an adapter for Smash that has been with me for years now. The only difference is that the Wii U controller doesn't have the built in accelerometers that the Switch controller and Pro 2 have.

Just so you never make this mistake again, gametes are sperm and eggs. You probably meant "run the gamut".

"A teapot" starts with A though.

Some people don't identify as either of those. And there already is a common word that can be used for either singular or plural, which is "you."

Every language has homophones. Even before tones were created, sometimes there are just coincidences. As far as I know, there's nothing to suggest that the number four and death are inherently related in some way. No one is suggesting that knead and need are related even though they sound the same, and lead (the act of leading) and lead (the metal) may happen to share a spelling but they're still completely different words.

We do know why, it's because death 死 and four 四 have the same pronunciation sǐ in Chinese (and shi in Japanese).

I don't think there have been many major breakthroughs in murdered people's rights since murder laws were written.
