@eris so it’s a vestigial linguistic structure persisting beyond its relevant context, interesting

What the heck is vestigial about it? And why do you hate it so much? One can find pertinent things through hashtags here, and one can scarcely hope to find them any other way.

well, you can also search for the word itself, no need to hashtag half of the entire post

Is there something actually wrong with wanting a post to be easier to find on search?

That is what this thread is about? People who post like that? One of us here has a reading comprehension that pisses on the poor
