I have been doing this for a long time now, and I cannot tell you how many programming articles I have read. I have also worked with really good programmers from all over the world, so I have a good feel for speech patterns from different parts of the world. Lately, I have found myself reading articles in the voice and accent that I assume the author to have. This might be a defensive technique I have developed to maintain the technical integrity of an article in the face of (sometimes badly) broken English.

I had a natural tendency to mimic the accent of someone I was talking to, face to face. It began when I started traveling lots, and meeting people with significantly different accents.
Fortunately, as I repeatedly caught myself doing it, and became more aware of it, I was able to suppress it.

I have done the same with this post but no it is still incomprehensible.

I really hope the answer isn't "FISH", but that's all I came up with...

Most frogs can't live in sea water: there is a saltwater frog - The Crab Eating Frog of south Asia - but it's habitat is mangrove swamps and "brackish water", and can only survive brief excursions into the sea.

VS(2017) has a maximum supported file size of 10mb? I just found out myself while trying to load a 925mb xml file.

Is 925mb not quite one bit?

have you tried Notepad then?
same thing, just with a little less of that annoying intellisense. (after all xml is "human readable", no help should be required.)

It's probably to encourage smaller source files: 10MB of code in one file is probably a little too big ...
Why on earth do you want to load a 1GB XML anyway? That's far too big for me to want to read!

That's a problem with XML; it has to be read in its entirety before you can do anything with it.
At work I receive a 6GB XML file every stinking day and I have to use SSIS to get it into a database.
I'm beginning to prefer JSON, which I can read one object at a time (provided the outer-most value is a array of objects).
However, I have written a fairly simple XML file splitter so I can make smaller files from one big one when I need to find out where a problem (e.g. non-well-formed XML) exists.

That's not entirely true. You can use XmlReader, and it sequentially reads a node at a time (it's slower than XDocument, and you can't go reverse read direction, but it solves my issue).

Combining XmlReader and LinqToXML, the memory consumption never goes above 350mb, and it takes about 45 minutes to run though the sample files (this includes adding the data to the database, one record at a time (426,000 records).
When I add a dash of TPL, it only takes about 9 minutes to process the same three files.
I think I could get it even faster if I inserted multiple records per query, but I'm tired of dickin' with it.

Well, for the most part I'm limited to built-in SSIS components.
Potentially I could write something custom, as I have for JSON and CSV files (ones which aren't stable enough for the flat-file components).

I just wanted to see what was in it. 
They range from 1mb, up to about 3.5gb. I have no control over how large the files to be processed are (they're generated by nessus security scans). The idiots that generate the files are completely unwilling to accommodate us, so it's essentially a "it is what is is" situation.
I have to parse these files and store the results in our database. Using just XDocument, I was running out of memory (the server in question only has 8gb, of which most is already used by other processes), so I have to resort to using a combination of XmlReader and LinqToXml.
Notepad, IE, Firefox, WordPad, and MS Word all load the file, but it takes more than five MINUTES for them, and wordpad/word become completely unusable.

I wish people here (not you but some others) would stop f*ckin assuming I'm a rookie programmer. I have more years in the industry than most people on CP have even been alive.

It's been a while I've seen you assert yourself on CP. I kinda miss the ol' smackdowns.

Ouch! That's a stupid amount of data, particularly for a text-based transfer mechanism. Have these people never heard of databases?
On the bright side, at least it's not XLSX?
