I usually don't have a strong opinion about the difference between #AmericanEnglish and #BritishEnglish. Frankly, I just use them interchangeably.
Saying zed when you mean z is so much better than saying see for both z and c. The previous sentence also sounds better wh…

GM is reportedly poaching workers who have been sacked by Tesla
The company is looking to snatch up interns who had their job offers rescinded for this summer

Amy: How many times?
Hugh: Only once.
Amy: Because somebody—
Todd: It happened twice.
Amy: It had to have happened more than one time.
Hugh: OK, then I probably did it, like, three times.
Amy: All right, why?
Hugh: I don't know. Because I needed to go so bad.
Ryan: Well, why didn't you just go to the bathroom?
Hugh: Because I was like so far away from the bathroom and—
Listeners, there is a bathroom in the basement.

Variability-Aware Approximate Circuit Synthesis via Genetic Optimization
One of the major barriers that CMOS devices face at nanometer scale is increasing parameter variation due to manufacturing imperfections. Process variations severely inhibit the reliable operation of circuits, as the operational frequency at the nominal process corner is insufficient to suppress timing violations across the entire variability spectrum. To avoid variability-induced timing errors, previous efforts impose pessimistic and performance-degrading timing guardbands atop the operating f…

"The research was led by scientists at Tulane University in LA. Their previous work had found that pregnant women or women who recently gave birth are more likely to be murdered than women of similar reproductive age, while also confirming homicide as the leading cause of maternal death in American women."
