elementary is the name used for the entire project (operating system and everything else related to it). elementary OS is just the name of the operating system, not the entire project.
elementary's team prefers typing its name with a lowercase e for consistency. So, you should always type elementary instead of Elementary (even if it's in the beginning of ...

No , it is not
There must be lots of E things like eRadio , eSoft , eFM , eSettings and eLaptop . elementary want to have the elementary brand and not the E brand (if they did want to they would call their apps things like eDesktop (instead of pantheon) and ePhotos).
It is not acceptable to use it as an achronim for elementary OS since it could mean ...

The elementary team typically only supports the latest release with feature updates, which I think is mainly a volunteer issue than anything else. The team tends to not set firm release dates and follows a "done when it's done" mentality. So now that Loki is released, there isn't a set date for Freya's end-of-life, but Freya-specific issues will likely not ...

I guess it will have updates until next elementary OS release (0.5) but the backend (Ubuntu) will keep updating until EOL, which is IIRC in 2021

You need to install elementary-Tweaks instead Gnome Tweak Tool, but maybe you can find that setting under the 'Windows' tab in the Tweak Tool. If not:

If you don't know where to begin, try the developer guide they provide, it helps a lot.
Unfortunately developing an OS don't work this way, you have to start a issue on launchpad or github (depending on the project you are working on), with the reasons why this feature should be implemented. If the team is OK with your feature you can start to code it, then ...

it is not discontinued, the latest version is 5.0 Juno, based on ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I must remind you that eOS is based only on the LTS versions of ubuntu. So when another LTS version of ubuntu comes out we will see some new version of eOS.

As far as I know there is still an "Amazon App" pre-installed by default on current Ubuntu versions. However it is really just a link to the website and can be easily uninstalled. What you're referring to in your first quote is the Shopping Lens. It could also be easily uninstalled and in later versions of Ubuntu there was a setting to disable it, IIRC. ...

Solved by burning the ISO disc on Windows 10. Running Mojave OSX and it appears the feature to burn a bootable ISO image was removed by Apple for some unknown reason. So OSX users, burn the disc on a Windows 10 machine and it will be fine and bootable.
Etcher software made no difference either on Mojave but did not test on Windows 10 to see if Etcher ...

Also, Libreoffice takes a lot of space. This contributes to making the iso smaller.

With Elementary OS's Juno release, this option is conveniently placed in the System Settings.
Navigation: Setting -> Desktop -> Dock
Once at this location, the Dock behaviour controls are Icon Size, Hide When and Pressure Reveal. The Hide When control also has a toggle. If the toggle is set to OFF, the dock stays locked in its position.

The two look similar because elementary forked Pantheon Files from Marlin in 2012 after the lead dev lost interest in the project. The dev posted in May 2013 that the two were indistinguishable apart from some text changes and the removal of settings. (The dev had other thoughts on the politics of the project.) The Marlin project was last updated a month ...
