Travelling by aeroplane to neighbouring centres of the civilised Anglosphere, avoid wilful furore or sceptical manoeuvres labouring in cruellest judgement upon word catalogues. Lend honourable favour, a blank cheque towards writing behaviour. Orthography's grey areas harbour colour: learnt spellings sporting unharmonised analogues, each a speciality with licence to practise, none misspelt. Skilfully enrol, fulfil the programme without offence, never quarrelling over axe, disc, plough, kerb or tyre. Inhabit the mould, revelling in draughts, whisky and humour, cosy within some non-teetotaller's panelled upper storey.

Second version, with U.S. usage and some ad lib changes (ax, whiskey, toward), is 4% shorter: Traveling by airplane to neighboring centers of the civilized Anglosphere, avoid willful furor or skeptical maneuvers laboring in cruelest judgment upon word catalogs. Lend honorable favor, a blank check toward writing behavior. Orthography's gray areas harbor color: learned spellings sporting unharmonized analogs, each a specialty with license to practice, none misspelled. Skillfully enroll, fulfill the program without offense, never quarreling over ax, disk, plow, curb or tire. Inhabit the mold, reveling in drafts, whiskey and humor, cozy within some non-teetotaler's paneled upper story.
Dry AI humor overheard (from Claude Fable):

Here’s an obscurely useful number fact that can be fully stated in everyday words of one syllable:
“A gross times the log of two is close to ten tens.”
In math: 144 ln 2 ≈ 100, or lg e ≈ 1.44
An information theorist might wish to observe, “One nat is a centigross of bits.”
Here is a deep dive from Netflix about using #Java AOT caches (from Project #Leyden). Big kudos to Martin Chalupa and Ian Brown for putting the parts together, and explaining how it works at #JavaOne. youtube.com/watch?v=4kEh8hxA…
FTR here is my #JavaOne preso deck for specialized generics. (Video is in production, no ETA, but it took many weeks last year.) Coding examples are referenced from a slide at the end. The conference overall was excellent; it was an honor to be a part.
