    Here’s something I’m genuinely curious about: what are the things you thought you could get out of asking this Q here rather than just googling its definition or looking it up in a dictionary? I’m curious as to why people do this rather than that pretty frequently.

  • Sorry me. I never thought I was annoying, just, ... I was wondering how it works. I will never publish anything again, I swear.

  • @JohnKarl You don’t have to apologize. And you certainly didn’t have to stop publishing! My question was sincere: why post a question to strangers when you could get the answer more immediately, much easier, and more authoritatively in a dictionary?
