My wife tells me she can take a joke.

I told my wife that she needed to embrace her mistakes. She hugged me.

I thought I'd try a little distraction with an anagram for a change!

It did distract me initially because I could see Cymru in my country - then I thought, he wouldn't do that ? oh yes he would

I did ponder Wales to Whales for a sec but decided to try the anagram route first. Good thing I did. Otherwise I'd have been fishin' in a dry hole for a while. But, Crymu would have completely eluded me. You learn all kinds of weird trivia working the CCC.
(Well, not to say Crymu is weird) ... mmmm, maybe I am.

Yes. I googled it after reading your previous post - and learned a new thing. So, if you try to use it in a clue now, I'm on to it!

Long ago I had to use VI during a course on a XENIX[^] system, it was a "memorable" experience

I use vim sometimes to edit config files in my Fedora machine... For my simple needs it is easy and much better/faster/accessible than gedit...

I use nano, with a lot of that heritage, for simple editing on my server which doesn't run a GUI.

After a brief foray in the Linux world, I decided I'm getting too old for that and will stick to using Windows and Notepad++.

It's been a long time, but I used VI about 30 years ago, during the time when we had Unix-based workstations for development. If I remember correctly, ESC :q! will discard all your edits! To commit them first, it'd be ESC :wq! So it's actually a demonic parody of the KJV.

From Szurkefarkas's reply:Quote: This inspired me to ask the following from ChatGPT:
Write a biblical verse satire in the style of the Monthy Python and the Holy Grail's Holy Hand Grenade scene that explains how to exit Vim:
And the programmer didst cry out, saying, "How do I exit this cursed Vim?"
And lo, there came a voice from the heavens, saying, "Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt type these words: 'ESC' key, followed by ':', and then 'q!'. This shall exit thee from Vim and free thee from its clutches."
But the programmer didst protest, saying, "But what if I accidentally hit 'wq' instead of 'q!' and save my changes?"
And the voice from the heavens replied, "Then thou art truly screwed, my child." And with that, the programmer didst throw down his keyboard in frustration and weep bitterly.

My standard text editor in the DOS days used to ask me: "There are unsaved changes! Do you want to exit anyway?" Thankful to be warned, I hammered on 'N', No!!
When switching to Windows, the standard text editor gave a similar warning: "There are unsaved changes! Do you want to save them before exiting?" From old habit, I hammered on 'N', No!!
I didn't keep a log, but I am sure that the total amount of work lost would add up to at least a man-week, maybe two or three, before I had learned my lesson.
