I’m reading a book about SAP Commerce Cloud. I noticed that the authors consistently use she instead of singular they. At first, I thought it was a typo. But when I encounter it for the tenth time, there’s clearly something behind it šŸ™‚ can someone explain what’s going on? :)))

Of course, there are articles by different authors claiming that “…The singular they is ear-hurting, eye-burning, soul-ravaging, mind-numbing syntactic folly.” However, even they all write that it is correct to rephrase the sentence, but I have never seen them write she.

Folks, who knows – what are the actual chances of getting a US visa for my mom (72 years old), living in Moscow region? I am worried that after paying the visa fee, one might wait for an interview for six months. Secondly, I’m not sure about how the situation is with visas for retirees. I have a green card, and mom owns an apartment (it seems like both points could be important for the process).

My new article on Hybrismart.com. Today about “merging carts,” beautifully translated into Russian as merging carts by someone. Essentially, this is when you enter an online store with a cart of products and log in under your account, which already has its own cart from the day before yesterday. What to do? There are five options, I dissect them, explain how it’s done in SAP Commerce, and how it could be done better. In general, for those who love proper e-commerce.
