english people like to ramble it's one of the major tendencies of our language

by which i mean long, convoluted, arbitrarily nested, and with little grammatical assistance

const handlerID= request.send().then(
response => process(response)

processed => getHandler("proper object).handle(processed)
).catch(
context => {
throw new HandleError ({ context })
}

i will qualify this by saying that in college i did know people, and was for a time a person, who couldn't run the latest apps because they had an iPhone 3GS (which couldn’t run iOS 7), and i would also like to say that this situation lost Apple large amounts of dollars in potential app sales and i don't think they are keen on replicating it

you can tell whether someone has ever owned an apple device by whether they know how long they last

apple devices last 7 years

santa claus being a corruption of saint nicholas is fine but kris kringle is a corruption of christ child

you ever think about how we say “i will enter the password into the box” and not “by me, the password will enter the box”
