  1. I don't like the idea that some insignificant event has major repercussions, and therefore that event must be changed / preserved. Even in real history, when you look at minor events that caused major changes, there is a broader context. The momentum of history will push things in a certain direction. You can't point to a pebble in a raging river and say that pebble is altering the flow. If event X hadn't lead to the event, then it would have been something else.

    Besides that, if you're going to use time travel to solve a problem, then just tell the people what they need to do. Don't be all vague about it.

  2. @Splashee I guess Javascript is passive aggressive. I just read another example, "is not an option or convenient." The author meant "not an option and not convenient." It could also have been written "not ( an option or convenient )." Reading English is like solving a mystery! :Cozy: I'm going to take things literally from now on.

    At work, the counter in the parts room has a sign that reads: "no food or drink allowed." Therefore I can have a drink, because it is allowed.

  3. God created woman from man, so man was first. In our language, masculine terms are also gender neutral terms. I don't know if this is true in other languages. But people are smart enough to know that mankind means all people. I think you are making too much of this. Besides, George Carlin did it already.
