'Just to add some anecdata'

Is 2018 the year when anecdata becomes a thing, I wonder?

If we make it so. I had to duckduckgo it to make sure it was correct, but I like it and am adopting it. Seems more efficient to just say "anecdata" than "anecdotal evidence".

Now back OT, I find little microcosm issues like this that show a gender disparity very interesting given the current cultural climate. It shows that in many ways the inequality doesn't exist unidirectionally between male and female in all areas (though it does in some). Physical labor jobs are a great particular example of this.

The real lesson I've learned over the years is appreciation. Men tend to really not understand just how much women do for them or the family (I tried the househusband thing for a bit and learned much of it the hard way), but the reverse is true also, women often really don't understand how much men do for them or the family either. If we all just worked a bit more on saying "thank you" I think the world would be a better place.

With as much as gets thrown around on the Internet, I think it's time to start looking into building anecdata analysis tools and maybe even a big anecdata platform. Anecdata science is going to be a huge field!
