One of the nice things about having kids is that you have a socially acceptable way to purchase a happy meal for yourself. (Because how are they to know how many kids you have.)
It's the only workable way to get a sensible fast food portion size.
Since the effort started from some Italian developers/sysadmins, I would be surprised if dev-one wasn't a good approximation of the correct pronunciation. As an Italian, that would be how I'd pronounce it.
This is exactly the case, and people are being very US-centric about it, complaining about something which doesn't sound right to them, but which sounds perfectly natural to the original developers.
It makes little difference at 3.5 feet. I've worked in two offices like that; you might as well not have any walls at all because you can still see and talk to everyone around you. I don't see the point in even having such walls, except probably to use as structural support for the desktop surfaces. The only advantage they have is that they don't need legs like a standard fold-up table: those legs take up space under the table and you can bump your legs into them.
Stack 2 walls on top of each other! And laid that with 2 walls you'll be double effective. Then convince everyone needs it. And extend that idea from there!
