I was scrolling through Matt Cutts’ blog<\/a>, where I saw this entry<\/a> about how to make your own favicon. I knew how to make a favicon for a few years now, but I since I was scrolling through (just to get the author’s style, etc) I read it. One sentence got my attention (see in bold, the second one is for the context):<\/p>\n

That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s two dashes before the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153color.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Silly WordPress converts it to a single long dash.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Being a non-native English speaker, I was amazed at that very moment. You see, most of my non-native English speaking friends, myself included, would’ve wrote “Stupid WordPress”, not “Silly WordPress”. Although both words are well known and are in active vocabulary.<\/p>\n

And I was amazed by the difference that is made with just one word. In both cases, there is a complain towards WordPress. But using “stupid” instead of “silly” suddenly makes it all heavy, rude, and accusative. “Silly” on the other hand is a much lighter version.<\/p>\n

I’ll try to use “silly” instead of “stupid” from now on.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
