There's a lot of things that people do that aren't for practical reasons. That's why all our homes aren't just concrete cubes. Somebody must have decided that this looks cool and futuristic.
Strictly from practical reasons, I suppose it's marginally easier and faster to identify a free stall. Whether that is worth the extra cost is subjective.
Also, the default state for this glass is frosted. In case of a failure it all becomes frosted.
What's "disagreeing with LGBT"? What are they disagreeing on? Tea vs. coffee?
You know, it just kinda clicked for me, a lot of people can relate much more to the bottom person than the top. There's quite a few people who scoff at education. Call people eggheads and stuff.
I did some research, and apparently, "United States" without "of America" could be a kind of ellipsis. But more likely, it's just an alternative country name. So I think that makes US an initialism (because you pronounce it as [yu-es]) for an alt (bonus info: this is a final clipping, or apocope, of "alternative") name.
Linguistics is such a dirt hut...
It doesn't happen very often, but I've heard it used that way. It's usually obvious from context, like I think I heard with "OLED vs. LED". And as @brachypelmasmithi@lemm.ee mentioned, it's used a lot in languages other than English, in my experience in many slavic ones, for example.
Is initialism a type of acronym? Or do they have an umbrella term? Surely, they are the same thing, but if initialism has easily string-able sounds it's an acronym (ex. CPU vs. RAM). And some are even both depending on person saying it, like LED.
They already do that. I think it was Did You Know Gaming channel's video about Pókemon ROM hacks and they mentioned that few of them were likely taken down because they were targeted by an AI crawler.
Why is Windu holding the Mjölnir?
NMS was 6GB on release. Nowadays it's still "only" 15GB.

Yeah, removing greasy hand prints is probably an extra chore.
