Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

I first read this as Dracula resurrected by an oculist & thought why is an eye doctor bringing back Dracula but then again, why not? Maybe existing without sun ruined his eyes. #TCMParty

I wouldn't work for Meta on a bet but it's worth noting these highly paid entry level jobs (assuming they're not bogus) are requiring hands on tech skills 'one of the following: PHP and Hack, C++, Python...' so AI is clearly not replacing everything just yet
