Speaking of string (tong) was another funny thing in class when learning the craft.
I share your sadness, the difference in orthography makes it already very clear it's a different word.

Or when you try to debug something while a little tired, and mindlessly google 'string' without any other search term, only to be surprised at only having underwear-related results.
Or "covid", but only because I'm too stubborn to accept to say "La covid".
The nickname is a play on my family name ("Monchablon"), that was wrongly written on the first draft of my work contract (as "Mablochon"), which only needed a bit of a chicken-obsessed CTO to become "Mablopoule".
One handy habit I got from that CTO is to keep a folder of images of poultry to use as test images when coding/debugging an image-related form.
Unfortunately I imagine they're difficult to keep in urban environments; maybe some HN entrepreneurial type ought to start a "Chickens As A Service" site so those who don't have the facilities to keep poultry at home could rent them by the hour?
