The language used is not going to harm people. The intent is, which was my point.

Read -> Parse the meaning -> React accordingly. Is a correct way to communicate.
Read -> React to trigger word -> Disregard meaning Is not. It’s just conditioned response.

If you do not think disagreement is a productive contribution, maybe you’re not looking for a discussion.

You should stop focusing on vocabulary and get your mind on intent, this is getting stupid.

I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.

Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.

Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.

I’m still angry about it.

I think it’s a survival reflex. People pick up on popular trends, and follow them so they don’t get lynched. It’s hard to unlearn this kind of conditioning, even if you move to a relatively safe environment.
