minus-squareTheDoozer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·18 hours agoThis reminds me of an anecdote talking about language differences between the US armed services: If you told a Marine to secure a building, they would kick the door in and take control of the building. If you told a soldier in the Army to secure a building, they would set up a fence around it and establish a sentry. If you told a Navy sailor to secure a building, they’d turn off all the lights and close and lock the door on their way out. If you told an Airforce airman to secure a building, they would write up a purchasing contract.
