Probably most people don't Xerox things or Fotomat pictures, but still ask for a Kleenex, or use a Thermos, Band-aid, Flip-phone, Chapstick or Post-it

FWIW, I utilize Perplexity a lot, and Gemini occasionally for what we old geezer call spitballing. Part of the reason I like Perplexity is because of the embedded references, and I always, always, double check the sources and holler at the

I'm 63 and tend to communicate in full sentences, that often include semi-colons and differentiate between - and -- based on context. I asked Perplexity in a months long development task that is both complex and complicated what punctu
