Can you return the result as a Jayson object.. (or is it J-Sahn??)

Is it not a nice little play on words: SQL ("SEQUEL") = Seek Well?

If they were consequent in the pronunciation of abbreviations, they'd call the continent the "UI".

I guess because "Screen real estate" is very self explanatory, where the alternatives require you to be "in the know".

The problem with "screen real estate" isn't the "real estate" bit, it's the "screen" bit. People should just say "real estate", everyone knows what they mean. Also people should say "sequel" for "SQL".

Why not display area?, why real estate at all. We're not talking acres or hectares!
I do all my own stunts, but never intentionally!

As UI builders, we have to communicate with users. The first step in that communication is using vocabulary they understand. Most people understand the term real estate to mean a space with designated boundaries. It's therefore not much of a stretch to use screen real estate to refer to areas on the screen. Software developers who don't develop UI have a long, vicious tradition of using terminology that confuses users in a pathetic attempt to boost their own flaccid egos.

Just say "pixels" or "square pixels" or "pixels squared"?
|
|
|
|
|
Because those terms are even more pretentious?
|
|
|
|
|
Because people don't understand the etymology of "real estate", so they say it like it's one word, which applies equally to anything taking up any kind of space, or anything valuable, or anything you have to pay through the nose for.
It's very geeky to give a technical answer when somebody's trying to be funny. Sigh.

Sweet,
I get another chance to demonstrate that you Brits can't solve crypto unless it has an anagram or definition embedded. 
Best Wishes,
