    And the autumn of life has finally come
    with the promise of winter thaw.

    Nothing at all wrong with that. That's algorithmically stable and faster.

    All affirmations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.

    Faster by what? miliseconds? Its just as stable as well. Only reason I ever use quotes is when it requires more than one word or number to complete the string.

    Algorithmically stable as in, an algorithm could use it without having to distinguish depending on the number of words.

    Not that any of it matters (I use the faster (to type) version too), just saying you really have no reason to complain about it, when she's doing it right and you're using lazy hacks.

    I didn't attack her and no reason you should be attacking me, I was saying she was being silly. Get off your high horse and lighten up. using a lazy hack?... how is it a hack if I'm using ingame mechanics the way it can be done? Sorry if I attacked your dream girl or something, but she's fully capable of defending herself if she felt offended.

    Stepped on an imaginery toe, I see. I wasn't defending her, I was just disputing your assessment. Lazy hacks are just any mechanisms you use that abbreviate the original (formal) procedure, even if they're provided by the product itself. And I already said that I'm using it too. Lazy hacks are implemented by programmers to make life faster and more convenient, hence lazy. If you think that's more of an attack than calling someone silly over doing something the proper (if inconvenient) way, then I have nothing else to say to you. People get so easily offended sometimes, it's ridiculous. Whatever. Lost interest, moving on.
