2023-07-06 12:24:35 <KipIngram   > Well, tmux seems to let you customize "status left" and "status right" fields thoroughly, both in terms of content and styling (colors / attributes).
2023-07-06 12:24:58 <KipIngram   > But... as far as I can tell it doesn't let you adjust the color/attribute properties of the window list that it displays in between.
2023-07-06 12:25:12 <KipIngram   > You can center it, whereas left justifying it seems to be the default.
2023-07-06 12:25:26 <KipIngram   > Or, rather, you can "centre" it - seems to be a British bias there.  :-)

2023-07-06 17:50:13 <veltas      > KipIngram: You mean something is written in English? :P
2023-07-06 18:16:07 <KipIngram   > ;-)  Indeed.
2023-07-06 18:17:15 <KipIngram   > Hey, I think it's only fair to concede that you guys have a "higher authority" on the language than we do.  There's something to be said for being "the OG."
2023-07-06 18:18:35 <KipIngram   > Most of the differences don't "bother" me at all, but I do have to admit that "aluminium" just twists my head around.

2023-07-06 18:28:12 <KipIngram   > can't
2023-07-06 18:29:40 <KipIngram   > At any rate, having that pop up in tmux made me think it's likely it was written by someone on your side of the pond.

2023-07-06 18:43:11 <gordonjcp   > also in Gaelic, things are gendered, except when they're not, which might be because they have a gender you don't feel like caring about in this sentence

2023-07-06 18:52:08 <veltas      > But also it sounds very american so we need to have a different word for our own sanity
2023-07-06 18:53:19 <veltas      > Yeah full gender is more continental
2023-07-06 18:54:39 <veltas      > That's interesting about plurals

2023-07-06 18:59:05 <veltas      > Apparently it went through three names 'alumium, aluminum, aluminium'. So aluminum isn't even original but it is older.
2023-07-06 18:59:56 <veltas      > I can't imagine americans saying it differently and I can't imagine saying aluminum. Isn't it right that we have our own words for things?
2023-07-06 19:43:23 <KipIngram   > Yes, the gender stuff is more characteristic of Romance (Latin-derived) languages.

2023-07-06 19:44:23 <KipIngram   > Yeah, like I said, I generally don't have any issue with these small differences.  I don't know why that one grates on me.
2023-07-06 19:44:42 <KipIngram   > But whenever I hear it in a YouTube video or something I usually "wince."
2023-07-06 19:45:23 <KipIngram   > But centre/center doesn't bother me, and color/colour doesn't, and so on.  Maybe it's because you don't HEAR those as much.
