But why would Revolut do something like that? They will lose customers and it's not just in spite, I'd assume.

Edit: loose->lose, customers

Terribly sorry, I try not to be a pedant about these things, but this is major pet peeve of mine. Up there with people saying "anywho"

It's "lose".

Loose describes the screw I have

Lose is what I do with my mind on the daily

I love you anyway, have a great day

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Anywhere exists, anyhow exists.

Why the discrimination against anywho and anywhy??

Who can do it? Anywho can do it? Why can they do it? Anywhy they can do it?

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

NGL, I'm racist against "anywho" because my sister says it and she's super annoying. Is it unfair? Yes. Will I change? Never

[–] Peffse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

alright boys, we have a mission to take out SirSamuel's sister so we can use "anywho" again.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

I like anywho. It's whimsical

[–] bilb@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Mine is "hence why," I become irrationally irritated when I see it, but try to harbor no malice towards people I see using it.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Irregardless, we all have our peeves and foibles

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago

Thanks, learning never hurts.

[–] cageythree@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

I don't understand either. What benefit do they have from blocking it (or what disadvantage do they have from not blocking)? There has to be some reason, no?
