		ftigis on Oct 19, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: USB-C head-to-head comparison "Lightning" in "lightning cable" is spelt "lightning" and not "lightening". Lightening is "to make lighter", and "pocket-lightening" likely refers to him/her not liking to spend money on lightning cables or that he/she thinks that they cost more than they are worth.
