Talk:2485: Nightmare Code

As I feared, I got into an Edit Conflict after doing (significantly more than I intended) editing of my own 'starter' explanation. I can't easily resolve exit conflicts, and I really want to review the new item at more leisure before I junk my input entirely, so I include my initial effort below, hidden in an HTML comment so as not to be too intrusive to the casual reader. I shall come back and edit it out ASAP (when I'll be on another device, without a simpler way to just carry across a portably-stored copy and keep you lot out of it!) or feel free to dip into this edit yourself if you want to look for any gems amongst the copious spoilheap tailings. Sorry about the awkward way I'm doing it. Didn't expect to have a new comic at this time of day, but got drawn in, and now I'm too short on time.

Is the Alphabet gag in the Title Text related to Alphabet, the company that owns Google? Kev (talk) 17:32, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

It would be more expected that Alphabet would change their name if Alpha and Beta become associated with nightmare codes. OTOH, many thought that the Corona beer brand would suffer marketing problems during the pandemic, but it wasn't impacted very much. Barmar (talk) 20:21, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
