I saw something described as ‘1984-style’ (referring to Orwell not Kajagoogoo) and I realized it’s over 40 years since I read the book
I don’t know how much of what I understand as ‘1984-style’ is from actually reading 1984, and how much is from 40 years of people referencing it

RT @petercmoore: I used to wear a cygnet ring until the RSPCA prosecuted me.
My word of the day today is ‘grizzled’.
#TodayILearned (or relearned, surely) that ‘f’ takes you to the next occurrence of a character in vim
Unless you’re already on that character in which case it will stay put
So cfc would change everything up to and including the next ‘c’ in the text
