This is the b vocabulary encountered randomly by online reading unfamiliar somehow and researched for some reason.
I realized these files are not so good or useful as cards due to how they are created and how they are used.
Handwritten cards are better for impressing than copy / paste, the time it takes to write allows the material to cycle, the thought put into editing reinforces while c/p is zap there you go. Cards are at hand beckoning to be shuffled, there with you in your car idling in line at McDonald's, there with you at breakfast, on break, at lunch, on the throne whereas computer files just sit there untouched and unexamined. Cards can be bookmarks. Cards are dumber but better.
Indented, I don't know why I looked those up. Maybe to find the source, maybe to check something, sometimes to look at photos. The files have a lot more c/p information, but it never gets read. This right here is the most use the files ever had. As files, they're nearly useless as cards they could be worth something.
