Thank God!

I don't know how I'd react while under attack if someone was yelling at me on my screen too.



Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!

Correct reply flow format is "hopefully they don't drop x".

You fucked it up.

I'm more surprised they haven't started communicating in motivational poster images or internet memes yet.

I recall something about how they would stop using a red pen when grading papers for kids. Because it was too mean or something. So, I guess those kids grew up and are now able to join the armed forces. Wouldn't want anything scarwe.


eta: Oh, I know. The letters were too big and it was too much of a strain on their wrists to hold the paper up.

Call me crazy, but it sounds to me like the real story is that the Navy is updating their systems, and in the process they're throwing out a convention left over from 19th century technological limitations. The fact that it won't look like your orders are yelling at you is basically just a humorous side effect, which this story is spinning as the main reason for the change.

In the Navy, only the CO can use a red ink pen. Only the XO uses a green ink pen. Everyone else can only use black.



Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
