Come on, come on. Did you not go to university? So yeah it illustrates a point. If I look at that as a developer and I and I'm testing to see if localizations working, I say: "Look, I saw these squiggly lines. They're all there on the screen. What's your problem, dude?".
But as it turns out it does contain a serious error. And so let's figure out what it is. Well the problem with it is that those two characters or that run of characters needs to actually be held together because otherwise it's simply illiterate. And so for... you know Western European languages, they have dictionaries which are allow you to split things based on actual you know syllables within a word. And that doesn't ship apparently with iOS or on Android. And so you know the problem is again our job is to go out into the world and say: "Hi we want to be your local source of entertainment. And we want to speak with a literate voice". And we were failing with that one where the... I think it's the word "drama". It was just not reading correctly. And so that was a big problem. And so we were scratching our heads and saying: "Well what do we do now?". So there are many books and topics that talk about everything I ever needed to know in life I learned when I was in kindergarten. And one of the important lessons that I learned in kindergarten is that you should hold hands especially when you're walking through the world dangerously. So I spared no expense in performing an Internet search to get some unlicensed stock art for this. And to illustrate a point. So there is actually something called a "word joiner". So it is an arcane character that you can insert. It's U+2060. I sound like a political, so U+2060. So you can actually insert that now. So one of the things we did is so... there's a little bit of... And so the problem existed for Android, it existed on web, it existed for iOS. So all of our client platforms talk to a single repository to get their strings. So they're pulled from a server and they're written into the project at build time. And actually we can do it at runtime as well. So that really kind of saved us in this particular case because we could do that little rejects and insert the word joiner characters and everything was grand. The hero got the girl, the Sun rose. Everybody started singing and it was wonderful. And so it kind of made me think that this word joiners thing is really powerful. And I'm wondering how many people here are married? Some people, okay. Now some people who aren't married, you one day may ask somebody to marry you. And what I can say is that forget wedding rings. You know you want to be able to say: "Darling, I can't bear the thought of ever being away from you will. Will you U+2060 me for the rest of your life?". So I'm hoping that one day you know somebody will write to me: "John, 5 years ago I saw you and I wanted to do something unique, and I didn't do that but it's in an inscription in my ring". Like you know Boris and Natasha U+2060 or something. So my point again about this things that details like this they matter. And it's actually really hard to explain it. So no joke it's like I asked anybody here who speaks Korean. It's like: well, okay I don't speak Korean. And not everybody can speak every language in the world.
