      I mean yeah? I wasn’t counting in detail, it’s an estimate.

      Previously you got 500 requests a month and then it’d start charging you, even on “auto.” So the current charging scheme seems to be encouraging auto use so they can use cheaper LLMs when they make sense (honestly a good thing).

          Well we can argue over the niceties of the word idiom, but as it’s referring to the way the word is pronounced in specific regions of North America, it qualifies as meeting one of the definitions of idiom.

          Elision refers more to the absence of an understood word, such as saying ‘my bad’.

          My bad, elision can also refer to slurring syllables together, so it’s both.

            An elision is the absence of a sound or syllable in a word. An idiom is an entire phrase or expression that does not mean what it literally says.

            There’s no argument here, you’re just wrong.

            No, it isn’t both.

              I dunno, cf. 1.b definition of idiom in the OED: dialect usage, and 2.a is dialect usage for effect. Maybe the definition is changing with the ages, or your usage is overly strict.

                  Hm, I guess an encyclopedia article is more relevant than a dictionary definition, so sure. I was using the looser secondary definition… in this case an elision that references a dialect in order to call up regional relevance to the opinion expressed.
