Maps (2014-10-02 16:23:43) :
The three attributes of colour that people usually consider when designing something for visual appeal are hue, saturation, and value/luminosity; value is essentially brightness (lighter colours vs. black), saturation is essentially colourfulness (strong colours vs. grey) and hue is the average wavelength of the colour as perceived by the eye (i.e. a rainbow.) Luminosity is this weird in-between thing between value and saturation where the range is extended upwards towards white, and the actual ...

It looks fine to me! ... But I think you may be trying to hurt people with colour-deficient vision. There's a reason why maps often have overdone colour schemes of questionable aesthetic value.

Is English in the early stages of losing pronoun case and verb concordance? (2014-09-30 15:20:30) :
"Me and him went to the store" is, honestly, pretty familiar to me. It's always been one of those things you're not supposed to do, but it slips out in casual speech from time to time anyway, especially among those who haven't been inculcated into the church of prescriptivist wisdom.
