  • I think it may 100% depend on alcohol and/or THC intake, both of the person writing it and the person reading it. I believe those are the accepted rules as written in both the New York Writing Style Guide and the Chicago Writing Style Guide.

    I believe it fits under the section titled As the mood strikes; grammar’s mishaps’s and bewilderment


  • That’s one option. But Sandwiches’ is valid too, as it ends in an s and is a proper noun, it’s not exclusive to plurals. AP style guide for example requires it (and got a lot of flack when 's was proposed as acceptable).

    Plus sandwiches itself is a singular noun which is a plural word, so it’s s’ not s’s for most cases there.

    Anyway, grammar is weird.



  • Yeah, super crazy, had to look it up. Al voices a character named “Cheese Sandwich” (ffs Weird Al is amazing), who in a finale is shown years in the future to be married to Pinkie Pie.

    Apparently Cheese Sandwiches’ personality is just… Weird Al. Which is also pretty hilarious.












  • Like anything else, it’s good to know how to do it in many different ways, it may help you down the line.

    In production in an oddball environment, I have a python script to ftp transfer to a black box with only ftp exposed as an option.

    Another system rebuilds nightly only if code changes, publishing to a QC location. QC gives it a quick review (we are talking website here, QC is “text looks good and nothing looks weird”), clicks a button to approve, and it gets published the following night.

    I’ve had hardware (again, black box system) where I was able to leverage git because it was the only command exposed. Aka, the command they forgot to lock down and are using to update their device. Their intent was to sneakernet a thumb drive over to it for updates, I believe in sneaker longevity and wanted to work around that.

    So you should know how to navigate your way around in FTP, it’s a good thing! But I’d also recommend learning about all the other ways as well, it can help in the future.
