> Why did you write an essay on “Windows, Linux, and Mac key shortcuts are different”

How is my original post an essay? It was basically just a bullet pointed list. Are we really that deep into the Twitter generation that anything more than a couple of sentences is considered an "essay"? Or are you just throwing that term about to be derogatory about my comments?

I don't really understand what your problem is here. The OP said mac's and IBMs differ, then someone else replied saying there's only one difference. That's where I replied with a bullet pointed list of additional items the commenter before me missed off.

The conversation was really that simple.

All this extra stuff about "essays", preferences, subjectiveness, etc are additional contexts you're adding and not something I was ever discussing. It doesn't matter what you, or anyone else, prefers in relation to my post. Literally the only point I was making was that they differ. Because the commenter before me seemed unaware of many of the differences. That's literally it.
