>when the progress bar is still getting asymptotically closer to the end
That, my friend, is an impressive command of the English language.
Thank you for teaching me the word asymptotically! [0]

I think most people that have done a CS degree would at least know the word. My cs101 class talked about asymptotic notation.
Not CS but any study of limits in math, perhaps with differential equations. And it’s a useful term generally, much more likely to come up in conversation than “subtrahend” or “mantissa” but not nearly as much as “tangent.”
And that must be why I have yet to hear it, as I never took CS.
At least it didn't say "orthagonal". Don't know why, but that word pops up here way too often.
