Not really that much of a difference honestly. My point still stands. Language is made up. We can use whatever words we want to use to convey the meaning we want as long as the people talking agree with the meaning

May I recommend either duck or dolphin
Eh, language is both fluid and made up. Patterns of sounds or squiggles that we generally agree have specific meaning
Good news: language is made up. Les exists now. It can be used.
Proposal: either smoosh them together (eg: ella / loas) which preserves the historical gendering of the language while creating a non gendered article Or Create a separate non gendered article that can be used
Language is made up by and for the speakers of the language. Rules of grammar are not actually rules but just what the collective speakers generally agree upon.
I'm remote so either I trust the user or push commands. I know which I prefer
Between the antics, it was too real
"please call so and so, they're having issues with their browser"
Call the user, they are out for the day. Leave message to call back
Either never hear back or the issue was not browser related
Either way, tell the original ticket creator to have the person having the issue call us if they want prompt service
That's how one becomes IT
We have a running leader board for uptime. Servers don't count. That said, I've seen some people who think they actually are turning it off but the machine just enters sleep mode. I only trust
shutdown /r /t 0
My mil is freaking out about it. As long as it doesn't pull a Harvey and sit dumping a years worth of water in a weekend, I'm good. It's just a cat 1.
The suggestions were just that. All it takes is speakers agreeing with a word for the use and to use it to the point where it becomes the standard.
No different than how gruntled has reentered the English language after being lost. It also changed meaning upon return so there's that similarity as well.
