@PsalmsNifemi @MerriamWebster Their formidable cache of knowledge has no solution. As the earth melts into oblivions, what is the key that humanity is missing? Will mankind work together to discover the clue their benefactors left them to preserve their eternal night of bliss? 2/2

@PsalmsNifemi @MerriamWebster Hundreds of generations ago, a benevolent alien race stilling the roiling soil of a newborn planet, creating an Eden for a nascent race. Today, that sentient race learns that Planet Earth is slowly regressing to a molten wasteland. 1/2

You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it. English: N + eight = Night German: N + acht = Nacht French: N + huit = Nuit Spanish: N + ocho = Noche Italian: N + otto = Notte Portuguese: N + oito = Noite ⬇️

@ghostonthstereo @MerriamWebster "it is happenstance"

@MerriamWebster Well what’s the significance of it? It was like “no, that’s not the reason, WAIT! No that’s not the reason; the end”

@ghostonthstereo @MerriamWebster "coincidence"

@saratyleresl @MerriamWebster Did you just dictionarysplain @MerriamWebster ?

English has tons of heteronyms where the stress completely changes the meaning + part of speech: Noun → stress on 1st syllable Verb → stress on 2nd syllable So: • We REcord (noun) amazing reCORDS (noun) • But we reCORD (verb) those records 📼 More super common ones for students: • PREsent (gift) vs. preSENT (give) • OBject (thing) vs. obJECT (disagree) • CONvict (prisoner) vs. conVICT (find guilty) • PROduce (vegetables) vs. proDUCE (make) Once students hear the pattern, it clicks fast! Helps so much with listening & speaking confidence.

Something interesting you might not have realized: A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable... But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. -SUSpect/susPECT -CONflict/conFLICT -PROtest/proTEST -CONvert/conVERT

With deep sorrow, we say farewell to one of the final sentinels of the Tuskegee Airmen. George E. Hardy, who once danced across the skies of Europe in his Mustang has taken his final flight at the age of 100. Leaving behind a legacy forged in courage, resilience, and unwavering dignity. It began in a quiet room in Philadelphia. A 16-year-old boy hunched over his homework as the radio crackled with the news of Pearl Harbor. In that instant, the world fractured, and George’s childhood evaporated. He didn't wait for history to call; he went to meet it. Denied entry because of the color of his skin, he didn't retreat. He leaned into the wind. He joined the U.S. Army Air Forces, arriving at Tuskegee not just to learn the mechanics of flight, but to dismantle the mechanics of prejudice. By 19, George was a "Red Tail," a guardian of the clouds. While the world below was segregated, the flak in the European theater was indifferent. He flew 21 combat missions over Nazi-occupied territory, a teenager in a cockpit proving that valor has no pedigree. Most men would have seen enough of war. George was not most men. - World War II: 21 combat missions in the P-51 Mustang. - Korea: 45 combat missions, braving the dawn of the jet age. - Vietnam: 70 combat missions, a veteran hand guiding a new generation. For nearly thirty years, he wore the uniform of a country that didn't always love him back, yet he protected it with a devotion that shames the very idea of hate. When he finally climbed out of the cockpit, he didn't stop serving. As a Lieutenant Colonel, he helped architect the military’s first global communication systems. He spent his sunset years ensuring that those who followed him would never be out of reach, never be truly alone in the dark. "He rose above the clouds so we could finally see the light." Today, we don't just salute a pilot. We salute a man who endured the sting of Jim Crow to earn the silver wings of a hero. He was the quiet defiance in the face of "no," the steady hand in the cockpit, and the humble heart in the room. The "Red Tails" are thinning now, their formation heading into the eternal sunset. But as George E. Hardy crosses the ultimate horizon, he leaves behind a legacy etched not in ink, but in the very air we breathe. Rest well, Colonel. The watch is ours. The sky is yours.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

Walk the ground where Jefferson and Madison turned bold ideas into a new nation. Plan your Central Virginia outing today!

@BPositive104 @APStylebook @mweinbach Uh, actually... Country code is 1. We use the 00 prefix to call it from some countries. @APStylebook , please reconsider the + to indicate an international dialing string, and let us figure out how to dial, since that will change depending on where we're calling from

@APStylebook @mweinbach US country code 001 not 011

We updated our style for telephone numbers in 2024 to drop parentheses. We now recommend the form: 212-621-1500. For international numbers use 011 (from the United States), the country code, the city code and the telephone number: 011-44-20-7535-1515. Use hyphens, not periods. No parentheses. The form for toll-free numbers: 800-111-1000. If extension numbers are needed, use a comma to separate the main number from the extension: 212-621-1500, Ext. 2.
