I mean, the dress is b&w if you have one of the forms of colorblindness. Although, what colors is it? SilverMagpie (talk) 16:33, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

The gold/black part is 61522F hex and the white/blue part is 8190B2 hex. Grabadora304 (talk) 16:55, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
So that explains the colors represented by the photo; what about the colors of the dress itself? I'd guess black & gold, based purely upon the discussions I've heard. ProphetZarquon (talk) 20:52, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Currently adding transcript. Chbs (talk) 16:38, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Did top row. Feel free to format it differently. SilverMagpie (talk) 16:42, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Screams in edit conflicts. Chbs (talk) 16:53, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Okay, I've normalized the formatting to what seems to be the standard: uniform indent with ":".Chbs (talk) 16:57, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
What about using tabs?  ;D

AFAIK In normal (British) usage the phrase is "In my humble opinion" and I have heard it said, when someone prefaces their contribution with IMHO it is rarely humble but is definitely an opinion. RIIW - Ponder it (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

No lie, I had a manager who used to refer to the database language as Squeal. As in a high-pitched animal sound. We had an in-house database tool called PiggySQL. Thaledison (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

I've always preferred that pronunciation too. ProphetZarquon (talk) 20:53, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Dammit. Now my brain will always translate "OMG" to "oh, my genitals".172.68.58.167 17:45, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Pat

The single space convention became the standard waaay before HTML. Cgrimes85 (talk) 18:13, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Standard, but less readable. For printed documents (especially stories with a lot of lengthy paragraphs) I'd still strongly recommend using double spaces because it's easier for the reader to discern sentence breaks. Incidentally, I had points deducted from English papers lacking that extra space as late as 1998. ProphetZarquon (talk) 21:10, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Tabs vs Spaces might also be a reference to the programmer's war on how to indent code correctly. Ruffy314 (talk) 19:25, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Agreed. I prefer " " (U+2003, A.K.A. / ) ProphetZarquon (talk) 21:10, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
