I actually didn't know that. I googled and learned that it came into use in the 50s, interesting. Edited and changed.

Edit: too old to edit! But still, thanks for the info.

I do not believe this thread just happened.

I smiled reading this comment. If you make a mistake and someone corrects you, I assume you also try to learn from it.

On HN, I believe that people are trying to make a positive contribution when the post, and while correcting people on the internet can seem pedantic, I take it to be a positive contribution and an opportunity to learn something.

Hopefully I don't make the same mistake twice!
