Learnt today that you can type any nonsense into Google followed by "meaning", and AI will assume you're searching a well-known human phrase and frantically come up with what it thinks it could mean.

@composing21 Definitely read this as “Chicago-Manual-of-Style” poutine, and I’m here for it.

@composing21 I think you’re right, but what’s a better strategy?

[Joe Matson @joematson]

@composing21 Your French really is coming along!

@anabelmaler @Komaniecki_R He could never have done this without the help of that polyrhythm video!

[Joe Matson @joematson]

@Komaniecki_R @composinghab21 lol I came here to say the same thing!

[Joe Matson @joematson]

@composinghab21 Some have a checkered past. Yours is sequined!

@Komaniecki_R How about this one: like if someone practiced fixed do for a decade then suddenly had to switch to moveable.
