They are attempts to be hip. Try not to use them. Thanks.

Why not? Others here on this site write about other problems. Stephan writes about this problem. There is no need for all the authors here to focus on one problem alone.

Your metaphor fails.

But I challenge you to name one “kitchen” with more than one “cook” in it that’s spotless.
