It's a great feeling for sure. Nice work!

It is a chain (66ft) and 10 chains 660ft. They are historically important units for land surveying (and relevant today because of that). The measurement is nonsense, but the graph makes sense because an acre can be defined as 1 chain by 10 chains or 66ftx660ft=4356sqft

Thanks! It does work for predictive text and correcting while typing, but doesn't check for misspellings in typed text. Probably good enough

Interesting, it doesn't "spell check", but it does suggest words from its own dictionary for predictive text. Maybe I don't need the checking if I can just look at predicted spellings. Thanks for the thought.

Definitely agree

Username checks out. Not sure if you were waiting for that...

I don't know specific products, but ANSI does puncture resistance certification. You could use those ratings to find something comfortable that isn't snake oil

I'll take weapons that are as dangerous to the wielder as anyone else for $500...

Of course, the world population was probably less than a quarter of what it is now, so a higher percentage defintely died. Probably because of the relatively crappy health care at the time
