@hosford42@aeva Yeah, I was speaking as a non-native, for sure.
The "not liking words" thing is an intentional hyperbole but the feeling with a lot of English is still a bit Mr Torgue a lot of the time. (not to mention other barely related gripes)
It doesn't help here that "asterisk" is the same in my native language so the "real name" just comes naturally to me and the whole "star" thing just never clicked, it's like my brain throws a parser warning immediately
