Lower is with an “e” though.

It’s kinda weird that it isn’t coming out of the mug…

Thinking cheaper automatically means you’re getting more value out of something, (example: I got this whole cake that can feed 10 people for $15 bucks!) ignoring the quality of that thing.

Thinking something expensive automatically means you’re getting something of better quality (example: This bottle of wine is over $100. It’s definitely better than one that uses much better methods of wine production that only costs $20).

Robots.txt is a standard, developed in 1994, that relies on voluntary compliance.

This is all from Wikipedia’s entry on Robots.txt.
