The most profound case of the colonies being involved in England's ongoing feud with France would be the French and Indian War (known as the Seven Years' War in Europe). The Thirteen colonies played a very substantial role in the fighting of this conflict which began in 1761.

Colonial militia and soldiers were active in all of the important battles of this war. The English, especially William Pitt, worked to make the British and colonial effort seamless and treated the American leadership as equals. Despite their cooperation in this conflict, the War would also expose deep-seeded differences in how the English and colonists defined their relationship.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
