Of course they would, dropped into a communication course with no prior warning. If it was a German professor talking about buttermilk do you think he would given a build up?

I disagree with the assertion, prior to your edit, that the complaint was necessarily unwarranted. But regardless, the reactions in the comments here are verging on hysterical - references to McCarthy, and even Stalin and Mao.

I can’t believe the reactionary comments to this. Of course, we have no idea of the context. But if it was anything like the linked video - and it could have been worse - it’s perfectly understandable why students would be surprised and per

I don't think this is true - sounds like resharper, an extension for Visual Studio. I don't think this is the default out of the box.

StyleCop on the other hand - a freely available linter as opposed to the commercial resharper - mandates the use of `this` by default.

This is called a "Pigouvian tax" or "externality tax" and a common example is a tax on fuel: "In the United States, the federal gas tax was $0.183 per gallon in 2019... The revenue goes into the federal Highway Trus

I'd been using Visual Studio for quite a while before I discovered it supported something like Vim's visual block mode - you can use alt-shift to select (and then edit) blocks of text.
