We can’t have an unlabeled venn diagram, come on, what’s on the other side?

It’s a US vs UK (and probably others) distinction. The ( ) are almost never called brackets in the US, unless it’s a regional thing I’m not aware of. Also the [ ] didn’t get used in any math classes I was in the US up through calculus except for matrices.
There’s just no way rote learning is easier than mnemonics unless you have a photographic memory.
Shit, I still remember the order of taxonomic ranks after seeing the phrase “King Phillip came over from Germany stoned” written in a used bio textbook 30 years ago when we never even made it to that chapter to officially study in class. I guarantee I never would’ve remembered the list “kingdom phylum class order family genus species”.
I worked part time at my college library for a bit and one of my jobs was called “shelf reading”, where I’d just walk up and down the rows making sure the book numbers were in the right order. It was pretty tedious.
Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is better simply because all bibles are listed under the letters BS

I was at a bbq when an asian giant hornet landed near us. Damn near reconsidered moving the entire setup to get away from it, but eventually it flew off

Feels like the gray wolf isn’t defined enough as a fascist symbol that there’s plenty of latitude for non-fascists to use it. Like if that account is known to use it that way it’s one thing, but otherwise it’s probably just a coincidence. The swastika is the most widely known symbol of hate these days but even now you can go see it on all kinds of temples in Asia, so if even that gets used in a non-nazi way these days surely the gray wolf isn’t only defined as a fascist symbol.

I think I bought maybe 1 or 2 games on sale in the years and years of free games I’ve claimed… does that mean epic marketing succeeded with me?
It’s def aggro driving but usually not stupid or insane. I never saw someone wildly cut across 3 highway lanes to make an exit til I moved to the midwest

Ah interesting, so you pretty much knew all the common ones except kid. I guess it’d be a lot easier in general if English just had an affix for a baby animal. I’ve been trying to learn Japanese because I live in Japan, and they just attach ko- to something to make it a baby (like dog is inu and puppy is koinu).
Although Japanese has its own set of weird naming conventions because you can’t just use numbers to count stuff, and instead you have to say the name of the group the object falls into. Like “one pencil” would be “pencil one long thing” and “one dog” would be “dog one small animal (non-bird/rabbit) thing”.
BTW a kit is a baby fox, beaver, rabbit, squirrel, and a few others.
I’m going with this one: Batman blows Robin on yon Gotham bridge; Vows Gordon’s next.
But wiki has a list:

Looks like it’s mostly in ROY G BIV order, although you’ve got black and brown up front, then they drop indigo and add gray and white at the end.
