Re: Random randomness
There are a few methods.
Manual from Sprint
Wiki on T9 text entry.
Short answer. Getting the third letter from one of the number keys requires (at least) three presses. I forget if it gives you the number first or last.

Did you tell him about putting the flag up? You have to put the flag up, otherwise the guy doesn't stop.

GRAMMAR TRIVIA: Can AI be a plural noun? As in: "AIs have trouble understanding natural language." Or would you expect that to be "AI has trouble..."?

Re: Random randomness
It comes down to whether one considers AIs to be discreet, individual units that one can refer to in aggregate (like people), or if AI is a higher-level term (like humanity). That is, one can say "People have trouble..." but not "Humanity have trouble..." I am of the opinion that AIs are unique snowflakes (maybe due to all the years I've spent playing games against them), while Wife is sure that AI is generic, and referring to it in the plural is just weird. I haven't found an official ruling and she isn't buying "I'm a copy editor and I say so." She's a tech writer and she says No.

Re: Random randomness
You and Wife are using two different definitions of AI, which is perfectly cromulent. Wife is referring to the field of study while you are referring to an intelligence (OED: "a person or being with the ability to acquire and apply knowledge") that is artificial rather than natural. I therefore rule that you are both correct. Such is the nature of the English language.Kraken wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 2:15 amIt comes down to whether one considers AIs to be discreet, individual units that one can refer to in aggregate (like people), or if AI is a higher-level term (like humanity).

Re: Random randomness
There's also a mass-noun/count-noun distinction going on.
Think "I need more beer" vs "I need more beers." Both are grammatically correct, but they conceptualize beer differently.

Re: Random randomness
The salient question is "What does MIT think?", since they're my client. I think I'll go with the higher-level generic singular (it's ultimately up to their copy editor, who probably won't change it back). /shakes fist/ You win this one, Wife.Max Peck wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 8:30 amYou and Wife are using two different definitions of AI, which is perfectly cromulent.

Pro tip: Always triple-check the hyperlink when sending an e-mail to a client.
I'm really hoping my client enjoys the the "15 Advanced Monster Hunter World Tips" video I just accidentally sent them the link to, when I meant to link to a video about our latest project offering.

That and "Don't actually put any recipients into an email until you're ready to send it"
That little rule was learned the hard way, and has been a safety net ever since.

Re: Random randomness
Another of life rules. However for me it's because I might send it by accident, mid-sentence. Like, I'm writing and suddenly the email disappears and re-appears in the sent box. That said, don't write emails when you're agree angry (OO forum posts are ok, because they are entertaining for others).

Re: Random randomness
I’ll just chime in here. The colonoscopy itself is basically a total ‘non event’.
You don’t feel a thing while you are out, and you don’t wake up feeling anything either.
The mental build up and fear is much bigger.
Now if you have something the colonoscopy finds in time to treat, you just did yourself the biggest favor ever.
And if it’s just a bunch of polyps (that are snipped and removed as they find them) then you have that peace of mind.
