Comment on Building a custom octocopter from scratch with no prior hardware experienceparent

Comments

The -copter suffix is very common in the drone community.eg quadcopter is widely accepted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadcopter

Similarly, "heli" is a commonly recognized clipping of helicopter: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/heli#English

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helipad

Are you trying to say that it’s been co-opted? Did anyone consult the Egyptian Christian community about this?

Hence a nit.

Nit pick: "nit pick" means to remove tiny bugs from hair, which this is not.

Oh, language changes and now "nit pick" means "to make trivial criticisms" even though neither "nit" nor "pick" etymologically has anything to do with criticisms? How very self-serving of you ;)

It's a metaphor:)

Unrelated.
