Not *IA* level, but pretty silly and moderately annoying: I was checking the status of a delivery on our bike messenger service's website and this was the result

if ne1 asks i will describe
Ha.
Apparently it meant that the order was going in the process of assigned to a biker.
Now it's a box w/ a green arrow pointing to the right. Why the hell not just use words?
I'm looking forward to seeing what icon they use for a completed delivery.
xp - i'm not sure..... ok, go ahead and describe

― potatoes-in-law (Je55e), Thursday, 15 August 2013 21:51 (twelve years ago)
Ah, it's a box w/ a check mark on it. It's so out of place on their ordering/tracking website, which is otherwise really stripped-down text.
― potatoes-in-law (Je55e), Thursday, 15 August 2013 21:53 (twelve years ago)
It's as if the written language had reached an endpoint and we're devolving back into pictograms.

This doesn't actually make me angry, but it does bug me more than it should, so I guess this is the thread for it - there is a chain of pubs in London called Draft House (I just had lunch at one). That is not how you spell "draft", unless you are American, or the pubs are actually houses where you are signed up to the army.

I hate "days off" in which I actually have to do 'some work', but only an hour's worth or so. It doesn't feel like a *true* day off.
― Neanderthal, Friday, 16 August 2013 13:39 (twelve years ago)
And I think the Col. would agree with me on this, but I don't like it when American bars spell it draught.
I have complete respect for where the language I speak originated, but "a draught of Budweiser" is about the dumbest phrase ever written in any version of English.

Not our fault, nobody would say "a draught of <insert beer here>" here anyway.

I swear I was at least 25 before I learned that "draught" didn't rhyme with "thought".
― joygoat, Friday, 16 August 2013 16:48 (twelve years ago)
this is innocuous: people that say 24 hours/ 48 hours when they don't actually mean that, they mean 'about a day' or 'about two days'. I had to get a skin test done "48 hours" before my hair appt which was a real pain because my hair appt is tomorrow afternoon but I could only go to the salon in the evening yesterday - but that would be like 44 hours beforehand. They were like, yeah that's 48 hours and I'm like NO IT ISN'T! Don't measure it in hours if you don't care how many hours it is! GODDD!!!

Makes good sense, based on visual analogy with "distraught".

special edition Evil Dead 'book of the dead' dvds with rubberized covers to look like the book of the dead. somehow I wound up with 2 of these for the first movie, and one Book of the Dead edition of ED2.
these things are the fucking WORST.
first, the rubber feels really creepy and yukky in yr hand, like that weird wrinkly feeling deflated balloons gets. second, the rubber fucking STINKS. out of the shrink wrap, you have to hide it somewhere because you can smell it from across the room. and the smell gets on your hands too! I've washed my hands like 3 times tonight and I cannot get that cheap horrible rubber smell off

Haaaaaaa I have ED2 in that version and it smells AWFUL. Eventually, the smell goes away, which is about when the rubber starts to dry rot and crack. It's probably poison.
