English spelling wasn’t even remotely standardized at that time. So phonetic was pretty much all there was

I’m sorry, but the example in your comment is nonstandard usage. The part after the semicolon would typically be an independent clause, whereas the “because” marks yours as a dependent clause.

There are still comma-like uses though. The major one I can think of is as a separator in a list where each element is long, possibly containing commas of its own.

I’m not Christian, so I don’t have a view on what interpretations are “correct.” But if I might ask, how did you come to the conclusion that your interpretation is the right one?

In some Christianity. Many define it in terms of disobeying God, which can conflict pretty badly with the not-being-a-dick thing depending on interpretation

It would only take 11 decimal digits though. Sadly, an uneven 36 in binary

My biggest caution about this test is how some questions ask about your beliefs about society and gender in general. Someone could be a cis woman through and through but also recognize that someone’s gender can change over time, or dislike the gendering of a lot of things in society. I think it reads knowledgeable people who give a shit as being a little bit fluid and a little bit agender no matter what they actually experience of their own gender.

There are specific learning disabilities around math. If you think your issue might be something fundamental about how your brain works, you should look into dyscalculia

With some industry software, the proprietary stuff really is better. There are plenty of great FOSS tools out there, but not always the exact thing you need. For example, PDF software: I don’t know of any editor as powerful as Acrobat. And I absolutely hate Acrobat, but it’s the best tool out there for modifying a PDF.

Don’t know the last time you updated, but Inkscape layers got an overhaul in 1.2, released about a year ago. Still not perfect, but a massive upgrade from how they used to be
