Doesn't have to be an issue about social issues to not be plain retarded in terms of linguistics. Point in case: Big L. Gangsta rap that had flow and cleverness. Lil Wayne and Rick Ross don't really cut that, but I do love that song 8 Ball by Rick Ross, he's just plain fun to listen to.
Sometimes when I'm stuck in traffic I'll say to myself, "Dead in the middle of little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middle man who didn't do diddly."
I'd agree but there are shades of grey where gangsta rap can actually be quite enlightening to listen to. Big L was very very _hard_ yet still had a real story to tell, and real perspective.
Imagine trying to fit a vault in a cubbyhole meant for shoes. That's what RESTful APIs end up fighting with. I would gander that because DELETE refers to permanent deletion, whereas destroy is reversible, they chose to use the less confusing verb.
The real problem with trying to conform to REST is that there's no rigorous definition, and this leads to the same verb being used for slightly different purposes among APIs.
There is a rigorous definition of REST; it's called RFC 2616. [1] That probably most people who implement it don't pay as much attention to it as they should doesn't make it any less existent.
It isn't proper English. A proper version of this sentence could be "I'd prefer clipping my
toenails to paying any more attention
to this movie" but even then the "paying any more attention" part would probably cause a human sentiment analyser to do a double take at it.
