English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo depicts an urban scene with a large semi-circular metal sculpture in the foreground, partially hidden by a hedge. Behind it are modern high-rise buildings with glass facades and Chinese signage. The buildings feature vertical lines and grid patterns, suggesting a commercial or business district.

Both Quikscript and Shavian were essentially the results of a design competition,
sponsored--posthumously--by playwright George Bernard Shaw,
who laid out the terms in his will.
Shaw wanted someone to create an ideal phonetic alphabet for English that trumped Pitman shorthand.
British designer Ronald Kingsley Read, a finalist in the 1960s competition, designed both Quikscript and Shavian, the latter being named in Shaw's honor

Here are 50 Different Written Languages. Can You Tell Which are Fake? - Core77
Below are examples of 50 different written languages. Unless you're Indiana Jones, I doubt you'll recognize more than a handful. However, of these 50 scripts, five of them are contrived 20th Century creations. Two of them are shorthand-style phonetic alphabets designed for English; one of them is an ideographic writing

I really feel bad for sysadmins who don’t have great English skills. There’s no way a world of LLM translator bots can ever get all the discussions amongst English-speaking sysadmins close enough to correct. Too much jargon and more importantly too much nuance in how words are used. I’ve spent a lot of time crafting technical prose, often finding it necessary to proofread and harmonize precisely how I say things. I doubt any LLM can be equivalently fastidious.

Was editing and noticed that if you rotate-left "those" you get "ethos". Was curious how many of these are in English. Big dicts have a lot of junk, and most endings in "s" are for plurals. Here's a good list of rotwords.

amen -> name
anger -> range
anon -> nano
cone -> econ
earn -> near
earth -> heart
eighth -> height
hint -> thin
idea -> aide
leaf -> flea
leap -> plea
lump -> plum
open -> nope
ought -> tough
outer -> route

So far my list is just Electronica in Germany, are there others I should be aware of?
DesignCon and IMS (despite the "international" bit in the name) seem to always be in the US.

Green Pea Guacamole Recipe (Gift Recipe)
Adding fresh English peas to what is an otherwise fairly traditional guacamole is one of those radical moves that is also completely obvious after you taste it. The peas add intense sweetness and a chunky texture to the dip, making it more substantial on the chip. They also intensify the color of the green avocado — and help the guacamole stay that way. Pea guacamole keeps its bright hue in the fridge for a few days without turning brown around the edges. A good dose of lime juice helps this …
