When I loaded a page in Chrome just now, I got a bar at the top saying, “This page has insecure content. Do you want to load it?”

I had seen that message often before and knew it referred to content accessed over HTTP on a page that’s loaded over HTTPS, so it referred to the security of the access… but today, for a second, I had an image of some content sitting on a step somewhere, biting its nails, going “Should I ask him? I’m not sure whether he likes me at all…”.

The many meanings of insecure content :)

Apparently, in the Standard Written Form of (modern/revived) Cornish (using traditional graphs), the word for “sister” is whor. (See, for example, this glossary (PDF).)

How unfortunate.
