Oh Hey There

but to be fair…

I’m not above a little pedantry with respect to semantic language change. I dislike the use of “random” as in “that’s so random”—i.e. unexpected. Is this a battle worth fighting though? No. Everyone knows what random means when you talk about rolling dice. [*insert joke about the human mind being inherently bad at statistics*]

Edit: Nice conversation going on in the comments.
