This. Imagine if supermarket opening times were posted as "Sunrise plus 27 minutes" or whatever. The one in the next town would say the same and mean something slightly different.
This is sort of how it was before the railways, in fact. It's just that nobody really noticed as it was a day's walk or a few hours by gee-gee and by the time you got there you'd forgotten why you went.
The verbs are very simple; only two conjugated tenses, everything else is done with auxiliaries, as is the subjunctive. No silly gender nonsense either. That's a lot simpler than French or Italian.
The downside is that the spelling is an absolute bastard, and some learners screw up phrasal verbs - but they can all bugger off.

FTFY.
Here's another example. Let's say I work in a restaurant. I have access to the fridge. Does that mean I can piss on the salmon mousse?
Sabotage is sabotage. Criminal damage is criminal damage. You're the one that doesn't know anything, you glorified cable puller.
The greatest legal minds advise that if you have access to a system you can do whatever the fuck you want with it.
Good comeback, Cal!
Your hatred of everything white, western & democratic. For example: https://slashdot.org/comments....
Asshole hangs out with assholes. Whodathunkit?
Good comeback, Cal.
Hate? Really? Drama queen much?
More like disdain, or maybe contempt.
Not sure how putting stickers on them will help.
You mean David, the cricketing bishop?
"Establishing regulatory standards" is the single point of failure.

Why are you stigmatising people who are alternatively cerebral?
It's not the 19th century. I bet you think they should be kept cooped up for your amusement, you white cis oppressor.
Whatever. At least it's not pure fantasy...
For the same reason master criminals have to stroke cats.
If their they're ads I don't want them hear.
In Soviet Russia, horizontal and vertical control YOU!
Rats' cocks, that's other one isn't it?
Slight flaw: even if this costs 0.00000001 cents per device that's 0.00000001 cents too much.
