Yesterday I accidentally learned that you can reposition the closed captions on YouTube videos. I waa at the Smartboard talking about how the cursor and my finger were a couple of inches apart, and I accidentally dragged the captions of a YouTube video that we were watching.
A ton of stuff. One that I figured out by myself and not many people seem to know is that in most softwares you can triple click on a word to select a full paragraph of text (double click selects the word). It works on code editors and IDEs as well, to select one line of code.
“softwares” makes as much sense as “traffics” or “emails”; i.e. none. And now you’ve learned something more.
Thanks! I’ve used emails as a plural of email for a long time, referring to the messages. Not a native speaker, maybe it’s something Dutch people do with some loanwords. Never softwares or the (more recent) codes, though.
Nah, people do say “emails” all the time and it’s perfectly fine.
Eg. “But her emails!”
Wait emails isn’t grammatically correct? So, if you got an email, you could say “this email is cool”, but if you had multiple you wouldn’t say “these emails are cool”? It’d be “these email are cool”? That sounds wrong
I was guessing that the intended usage would be “email messages”. And I would compare it to (snail) mail. You can get a lot of letters, but it is still a lot of mail.
