Toughness is a perfectly good engineering term with a defined meaning. Look it up. Wikipedia is a decent start. "In materials science and metallurgy, toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing."
It's typically measured by an impact test.
I wonder what a "plastically deformed, but not fractured" phone screen would look like?
I hear paper mail and its infrastructure is in decline too, but many slashdotters wailed about a country needing a national paper mail pushing system. But reality means cuts will further erode revenue in a negative feedback spiral. USPS is going down, hard
Really? In my country the decline in letters has been compensated for by an increase in packages, from online sales. So the postal system is changing but not declining.
Oh, as a bonus, you can use that same tool to format code the way you prefer, and switch it back to whatever style your company requires at the press of a button. Why is this a bad thing?
How would that work out with revision control? Your copy would always show as modified, unless you did some other trickery.

Why would you go to Australia when you're already in New Zealand?
