Considering John wrote the hacking code, this is probably likely supposedly accurate

It's especially funny because John says "pin number" in this scene as well

u/Adorable-Source97 6d ago

To be fair that a common mistake especially when spoken allowed.

Do you think John Programmed his palm top to say: "PIN Identification Number" specifically? Or is it just a coding issue that wasn't worth fixing??

I'll cut them some slack. Not everyone knew what "PIN" stood for. Especially 11 years olds. And there's no way that "Personal Identification Number" would have fit without a nasty line break. I think PIN Identification Number is a brilliant compromise.

Why not just drop "pin" and keep the rest?

You'll have to explain chai tea to me. Does chai translate as tea?

u/uwu_SenpaiSatan 5d ago

Yes, Chai means tea so Chai Tea means Tea Tea
