Wild that every piece of software has decided we need Clippy now.
I renewed my library card online. It took two seconds and I’m good for three years. Just checked out a book and placed some holds. Support your local libraries!
Its dumb but I really think it comes down to them being similar words. "Thousand" and "million" are clearly different but then "million", "billion", and "trillion" are the difference between a middle class boomer's 401k, the market cap of a Fortune 1000 company, and the GDP of a middle power nation.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?
