I never understood the reference "It really whips the llama's ass"

Was the llama a competitor or something? or some kind of weird in joke?

Vertical has always been much wider than the horizontal layout is tall, at least when using the small taskbar icons setting. However the third-party utility 7+ Taskbar Tweaker allows narrower vertical taskbars, which actually makes the vertical orientation ideal if placed on the left-hand side (the least interacted with edge of a desktop, ie: less likely to be accidentally interacted with).

Got a few comments about that one and a few others! I just updated the existing word blacklist and re-deployed.

"fibroblastosis" -- appears to feature in some medical journals

"bryosphere" -- something to do with moss

"biosprint" -- a brand of yeast.

Many of these 'non-words' have already been taken....

You can measure grit. The military routinely does. It takes an ordeal like BUD/S.

A process which most recruits survive. Not too useful for university admissions, which are generally expected to have a 100% survival rate...
