I think they were making a kind of play on words on your misspelling. It is short for on premises.





No, worries, I knew, I couldn't remember if it had the s or not... I'll have to look up the etymology.

Just a tease :-)

On-premises means in a physical location, i.e. data center (or garage) in this context.

On premise would mean based on an argument/inference.


No offence taken :).

Just today I saw a post (on Reddit) 'Mauling' over whether to get a Framework 16 or not (I assume that English was not their native tongue). Me? I would have just let the bear have it ;-p
