When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

Anon says that when multiple sentences are bolded, they become unreadable. They're unsure why, since common wisdom holds that bolding should make it easier for people with reading- or language-related disabilities to read a long block of text.

I (pollmonger) would posit that bold isn't meant to be used for full sentences and bold sentences are (generally speaking) harder to read. If you emphasize everything, you effectively emphasize nothing. The most useful application of bold text is for short, salient keywords. But we're interested to see what others think.

thinking about that post thats like. to avoid bloatware every game dev team should be required to have one guy that has to play the game on a shitty laptop. in the same spirit i think every movie and tv director should have to watch their movie/show on a small tv or laptop screen in a bright room and fix the lighting until its possible to see whats going on on the screen in those conditions
