  • Singular they sometimes works and sometimes it sounds odd. It usually sounds off when used by itself without following something explicitly singular.

    “The customer forgot their wallet. Can you bring it to them?” sounds correct but if you just do

    “They forgot to pay their bill” it sounds like you’re referring to multiple people instead of a singular person.

    Edit: Changed to a better example.



  • The command line is always going to turn people away from Linux. I’ve only had to use the command line to fix a windows issue once in the past 10 years while I regularly have to use it every time I have to work with Linux.

    People like convenience and will almost always go with the more convenient option even if it’s not the best option.

    Until the majority of issues can be solved using point and click (and help forums show that method over command line), Linux will always lag behind Mac and Windows.
