      @scottalanmiller Correct usage in a sentence? When would you use amongst instead of among?

      Australian use of the word
      Let's get amongst it!

                  That's a pretty rare one. Several dictionaries don't even have it, oddly enough.

                    Unrefrigerated
                    Seriously? Oh well, I guess everything at Google must refrigerated regardless of requirements.

                      Virtualization and hypervisor

                      Of course I've added these to my local dictionary, but still...

                        "Hypervisor" is one of those somewhat ridiculous tech words that I'm happy to be able to say in serious, real life situations.

                        It sounds like something out of a 90's sci-fi movie.

                            @scottalanmiller It doesn't try to pick up the n with the ~ on it (How do you even type that on an English Windows machine?)... habañero ? (the ñ is alt, 164).

                                Chrome doesn't have it either... it tries correcting it to haberdasher, which I don't think is really used much anymore.

                                  Same word that FF tried to make it. Which do you think is more common?

                                    I've never heard haberdasher used in modern English, mostly literature from the late 1800's early 1900's. I don't know if Men's fashion stores really still exist in that form anymore?

                                      "Haberdasher" is only used in comedy anymore... pretty sure Family Guy put it in somewhere, and I remember a sketch from the 90s that used it (probably Mr Show).

                                          Opera: brie and camembert (maybe it's looking for capitalization, but wth?) I know how to spell those soft, ripened cheeses I love.

                                            Brie? That's nuts.
