- Also I’m not sure if this is well known but Gemini has a nice quiz/test mode that you can use for learning. Ask it to quiz you on a subject and you can increase/decrease difficulty and keep going. I pair it up with textbooks as a learning tool; not in school or anything just for my own enjoyment.

- I lowkey am enjoying this conversation lol.
- A prescriptivist in the wild!
- For speakers of the King's English, we wouldn't say "econ 101" either. We would say economics.
101 is an interesting number! Winston was taken there in 1984 by a fascist group whose tactics included the rigorous standardisation and abolition of all variation and redundancy in the English language. Nice.
