By default a normal user can abort the shutdown. They could also configure group policy to prevent shutdown permissions which also prevents aborting a shutdown.

I wonder if they would freak out if glue instructions said “apply liberally”.

I think people should be able to call a wrong out without having to call all wrongs out.

I believe it stands for concatenate.
