No words

Define “better”. Surely it’s a matter of personal opinion?

I was part of a team that was trained in COBOL to help update code in time for Y2K. We’ve been headhunted by the same company several times in the last ten years to further update and maintain the same code, originally written in the mid-1970s. I’m now 56, and I suspect that code base will live at least as long as I do.

I just thought it looked cool.

Octopi aren’t fish.

Do you mean collective nouns ?

Or just “generic groups”, as in animal, plant, rock, fungi, lichen ?

Maybe group words that aren’t as specific as collective nouns and not as generic as groups:

• canine
• marsupial
• mammal
• primates
• carnivores
• vertebrates
• reptiles
• birds

Depends on the number of kids and how old. I’ve never had a problem with it.

It might or might not:

• arrive
• work
• be genuine
• be fit for purpose

Like anything else, the more you practice, the better you get. I remember how much anxiety and stress I had when I was learning; now I don’t even think about it.

Could you get a friend or relative to take you out to a quiet area to get more practice away from traffic and other road users? Then slowly build up to more stressful situations. I was taking my kids a few times a week around the quieter back streets, round and round and round, until they got their confidence up, then we went out to small roads with traffic, and built up until they were driving on busy main roads and freeways.

Here in Australia, you can choose to get an automatic-only license and not have to learn manual. Is that an option where you are?

Do people still use Chrome ?

Mainframe computers

I recognise that reference!
