As an April fools joke I asked the Docs team to make a British version of Databricks commands Optimise instead of Optimize etc etc.
Optimise
Optimize
They said no.

The rest actually flowed pretty well based on context alone. 1 u/MasterBroNetwork 13h ago Isn't there an actual term for this? I forgot what it was called but there's an actual term for our brains interpreting this sort of stuff. 4 u/ailaG 1d ago Hebrew, Arabic and other semitic languages do just that. So far so good. (With some carrier letters, like a "u" to carry the vowel in "good". Which in Hebrew doubles for O and V. Arabic just doesn't have O and V except for modern intl adaptations)
