Not loving the heteronormative language, " In both cases your girlfriend will thank you." ..for the same reasons that "How to explain Python to your Grandmother" etc. is not OK. In my case my boyfriend would be clueless and I'd be setting it up.
Oh it works both way for sure! I don't tell about my grandfather because well my grandmother is lot more tech friendly than he is! Anyway I understand what you mean, sorry about that.
You didn't do anything that warrants an apology.
BTW I updated the post.
I know, I was referring to your post before you edited it.
Thanks very much for being cool about it! I understand you didn't do anything wrong, it's just good to be aware of latent stuff in what we write sometimes, I totally do it to :) I love HN - only place around that I probably wouldn't get downvoted and flamed because of this. BTW, your grandmother sounds cool!
