Does British English use the term “heel” for the end slice of bread? I would certainly agree with crust. Lived most of my life in North-East England and have never heard the term heel before and wouldn't have had a clue what you were talking about. Straw-poll of those nearby suggests it's NOT a commonly understood phrase (out of a dozen people, only an Irishman had heard it before) |

Difference between “artifact” and “artefact” To continue the @ShreevatsaR's offtopic, even in the UK dialog is the correct technical spelling when referring to a "dialog box". To use the dialogue spelling marks one as not being technically competent (or being deliberately awkward!) I suspect this is purely because of the number of US code libraries we use... |

Use 'got' instead of 'was'? Can't agree that it comes from AAVE - I'm a native of North-East England and I'm sure the I just got robbed pattern would be overwhelmingly preferred in common usage. That said, I would certainly agree that I was just robbed would be the preferred formal wording |

Opposite of “distributed” I agree - this is a better (or at least, more generically applicable) answer than mine |

What is the word/phrase for someone between expert and novice? You're welcome - glad I could help. For what it's worth, some of the best developers I've ever worked with had no (or little) formal education having dropped out of college - while we were learning academic theory, they were writing code! |

What is the word/phrase for someone between expert and novice? Thanks @narx - I figured you would, but didn't want to make an assumption I couldn't substantiate :-) |
