Rant: A website blocked me for using incognito mode. (Paywalled, of course.) How can it even tell I'm in incognito mode?

I ordered two one-size-fits-all sports caps from fanatics.com. One of the two hats they sent me is child size, not OSFA. They charge for return labels.

"Hi, little Timmy Colton! Here's a sports cap for a team based 3000 km away you probably don't like! It cost me $35 with shipping and customs, hope you'll dig it!"

That's the spirit.
Yup, your eyeshadow's all runny.Are you sure?
Spoiler :
Erm, no:Big mistake, resident grammarian who is wont towards correcting others' trivial mistakes. It's makeup*.
Usage notes
The alternative spelling make-up is favored by the Oxford Dictionary and thus is often considered to be British, while makeup, being preferred by Merriam Webster's dictionary, is the generally accepted American spelling.

Do you realise that you've just done a onejayhawk and quoted a source that directly contradicts you?
Use fewer if you’re referring to people or things in the plural (e.g. houses, newspapers, dogs, students, children). For example:
People these days are buying fewer newspapers.
Fewer students are opting to study science-related subjects.
Fewer than thirty children each year develop the disease.
Use less when you’re referring to something that can’t be counted or doesn’t have a plural (e.g. money, air, time, music, rain). For example:
It’s a better job but they pay you less money.
People want to spend less time in traffic jams.
Ironically, when I’m on tour, I listen to less music.
Less is also used with numbers when they are on their own and with expressions of measurement or time, e.g.:
His weight fell from 18 stone to less than 12.
Their marriage lasted less than two years.
Heath Square is less than four miles away from Dublin city centre.

wont to correct
Oi! You just deleted your post! You can't delete your post! I deride your post-editing abilities!
Andyour little dog, too there should be a dotted line in between my two posts above with the words ‘Synsensa deleted a post here’ added for further clarification. Damned Xenforo won't allow it.
