I actually came to post this. After noticing some weird terminology in the Twitter thread (I've never heard the term "Cucamonga Valley" used to refer to the neighborhood by Ontario International Airport) I found that hustle.co article which has very similar wording. I think the Twitter thread is just a paraphrasing with some jazzed up details
That’s a generous way to say plagiarism IMO. Link should probably be updated to this (@dang?). Plus it avoids the abomination that is long form text mutilated into a thousand tweets.
Yep, yes it is. Not confusing at all..! (To be fair I've tried to check in to a hotel on Newmarket Rd, Cambridge for a booking in Newmarket, North of Cambridge; which was at least wrong with reference to the same Cambridge UK and not Cambridge Mass. USA, but to do it with an international airport just seems particularly mean, especially when the ambiguity is on county/province/state (as you prefer to term it) level.)
I love that there are 2 Ontario, CA. And I love that Los Angeles could also be described as “freaking huge.”I have driven across both Ontarios so I realize it’s a different order of magnitude.
Thanks for posting the original article. I remember it being posted earlier on HN. The second I saw the tweet about "Make sure they know a Montanez" mopped it, I knew it was the hot chip story, as that was a line I remember from the article.
