@cstross My stepfather had polio. As a child he spent a year in isolation, thinking he would die. For the rest of his life he has had a hunched back and almost no use of his left arm and hand. He would tell you he was one of the lucky ones.

@caseyliss American pronunciation of ‘router’ makes it an extension of ‘rout’ ie. “A disorderly retreat or flight following defeat”. British pronunciation makes it an extension of ‘route’ ie. “A way for travel from one place to another”.
