inMy homemade tasting note cards have a new trend I spot
Just ends up being more mental work for me. Every time I see a new icon set I have to learn what each picture means, but words are just words. My brain spends extra time translating the picture when I could already be done reading a label. Plus sometimes I tap the wrong one because two icons look too similar.

inVent: Skipping the damp course on backyard brick walls has worked for me
aaronfox has a point about clay soil, but a missing barrier isn't always the reason for cracks. I've worked on houses in Virginia where walls failed even with modern protection. Poor drainage or bad construction practices can cause just as much damage. For instance, if the ground wasn't packed right during building, it settles and cracks the wall. It's not just the freeze-thaw cycle, it's how the whole site was set up from the start.
