Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated
moakley@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI find it deeply offensive that an app could suggest I may not know the word “cornucopia.” I wouldn’t give a shit if it was the only app I could use to pay my bills; if it at any point suggested that I didn’t know a word as common as “cornucopia,” I would delete it immediately, leave a 0 star review, and post the offense to a community like this.
And just to be clear, the bar for how uncommon a word would have to be in order for it not be offensive is way higher than cornu-fucking-copia.
“Terpsichorean.” That’s a word I wouldn’t be offended if they thought I didn’t know it. Or maybe “legerdemain.” I know both of those words, but I wouldn’t be offended if an app assumed I didn’t.

Hmm, those are cool
Terpsichorean - “pertaining to dance” Legerdemain - “someone who is particularly skilled with one’s hands in the use of conjuring tricks”
