My native speaker friends, because I’m triggered a bit with the frequent revelation lately that Clossius is, indeed, still amongst us, wouldn’t it be “Clossius is live”?
No?..

Who’s Clossius?

Clossius is a Go teacher with an account on OGS who does frequent twitch streams.
His streams get a sitewide notification.

Maybe it was just a typo? I guess not all of the people that set the notifications are native English speakers either.

Yes, probably, and they copy-pasted to the subsequent notifications.
But it’s a bit funny to see “This person is alive!” as a notification, although my brain gets the message pretty quickly.

I thought it meant that they had not streamed in a long time, but they were back to teaching (“I’m still alive!”).

It could have also been a tsumego pun though …

Okay, a lot of talk, but I am still wondering if Clossius is dead or alive.

Well you don’t need two eyes to live. For example, one or no eyes is sufficient in seki.

If you need two I s to live, then I guess kingfishers and mantis shrimp are inheriting the Earth…
Oh, and giant squid.
