The eternal fight between V and W, when transliterating Sanskrit व in English. (Also applies to other Indic languages.)
E.g., वर्ष ("year") is often written "varsha"; not "warsha" though w is the closest sound to व.

I feel like people have forgotten what "analog" means. They're living in an analog — digital dichotomy, where everything that's electrical is "digital", and everything else is "analog", entirely ignoring the whole lot of analog electronic devices, or rather dumping them all in the category of "digital".
Perhaps we're lacking a good term for all the non-electrical devices.

"...the 38-year-old Electric engineer who..."
Hmm. Do you mean "Electric*al* engineer"? Unless he had an electric personality, of course. 🤔

Jarring when people say "appreciate" when they mean to express gratitude or admiration.

Placement matters: "trying to literally rewrite history"; not "literally trying to rewrite history".
There's a figurative "rewriting history" which someone can actually attempt. There's no figurative "trying" to make literal.
