TN voter here. The poll workers are aware and on point. I was given a warning delivered in a very neutral tone. "Because there are so many options and the options are narrow some people have been noticing when they try to select an option it chooses the one above. Make sure the tip of your finger touches the candidate you are choosing. Double check the candidate you want is selected as a grayed box. Triple check the candidate you chose is showing on the review page. Quadruple check the candidate you chose is printed on the slip before feeding it into the counting machine. Come to us if the printed slip does not show the candidate you chose and we'll spoil it and reset your vote." Poll workers are heros.

    Very interesting! Goes to show no subject of study is monolithic in belief! Well, as an unlearned person, here's where the topic intersected with linguistics for me: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2pX2MC8vjKOeepdvCrQ07h

    The podcast is Lingthusiam.

    Long story short it's back to the changing nature of definitions based on how people use the word. Hence, my saying they are found, as they can be found to have evolved. Have a great one!

    I love losing The Game, as it causes a wellspring of memories to emerge. To keep the vibe immaculate, I don't consider social media triggers as within the bounds of The Game. The FedEx Arrow is in bounds, though.
