@japchap Hopefully it won't catch you unawares and you'll be able to transition elegantly.
@hazardwarning The Apple (Oxford) dictionary mentions 'tortuce' as a late Middle English spelling. It's easy to see how that could become tortoyse or tortoise. Anyway, I think I have over the years pronounced it all three ways (the last sound can be like an ess or a zed). My pronunciation is influenced by whatever I'm hearing. I just can't help feeling that tortus is a lazy way of saying it.
@japchap Have you seen A.I. eat into your line of work? Might it take business away from you?
I can't seem to think of anything interesting to say anymore. All I can think of is stupid things like why do some people pronounce tortoise like tortus?
I don’t like the name Dacia Bigster for a car. It sounds like a name a teenage boy would dream up.
Seems TextEdit doesn't do word count. What's the simplest way to do a one-off word count on a bit of text on a mac?
