There is a letter G in the word recognise. Bloody use it. What people all say is "reckonise" which is not the same word. Also driving on the left just makes way more sense.

driving on the left just makes way more sense.

Only because it's what you're used to. Also I know there are countries (Sweden, or was it Norway?) that have switched which side they drive on, and as far as I know no one has switched from right to left.

I have a reason. Most people are right handed. In a Right hand drive car with manual gears your preferred hand remains on the steering wheel when you change gears. Also messing with the stereo or climate controls also leaves your preferred hand on the wheel.

That's a fair point actually, and one I've not heard before. I'm not sure it's worth trying to convert all (checks notes) 174 countries/territories to right-hand drive, but that's reasonable.

There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.

No year zero. Meaning: year 2000 is in the 20th c. and year 2100 is in the 21st c.

M:I-3, 4, 5, and 6 are excellent movies. Each in their own right. I know, Tom Cruise. But, plug and play any action star, and these are still great movies. He just happened to land the role of Ethan Hunt back in '96.

Tom Cruise. But, plug

Ohhh, okay. I see how it is.

Code indentation should never use tabs, only spaces.
