I also started setting up this page on my personal wiki (based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikiwiki ) for the ongoing "/dev/null is WebScale" meme - http://shlomifishswiki.branchable.com/slash-dev-null_is_WebScale/ . There was also a facebook discussion about it, but I'll have to ask the person I talked with for permission to share it - it was both amusing and insightful. Anyway, I'm not too active on wikimedia wikis - mostly just fixing typos and doing other cleanups as I go. The other day someone on freenode spelled "exercise" as "exercize", twice in the same sentence, and when I pointed to him that it was not the correct spelling, he insisted it was the American English spelling. However, both https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=exercize&searchToken=8jsnwk7uwxs57egwx936j59d9 and https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exercize agreed with me that it was not a correct spelling, even in American English. And he claimed I was trolling. Oh well.
