@MerriamWebster No need for a dislike button but my itchy finger is hovering over the block button. ;-)

@realKyleKeegan I have a morbid curiosity about what specific policies Tuberville would mandate. Spell out all the details. Sharia law prohibits theft and murder.

@MissAlly_01 Told my mate I was off to the shores.
“What shores?”

@NewYorker The Greek name for Greece's capital is "Athina"
(A -THI - na). If this is a trick, I'm missing it entirely.

@el_roding @OliverKamm @krishgm /2 If it's a complaint about the definition of "unique" being all-or-nothing (something dictionaries don't require), then you'd see more complaints about people using "unique" without qualification, when something is merely remarkable.
English
@el_roding @OliverKamm @krishgm I have never heard a complaint about something "unique" being something remarkable so long as it's not in the context of degree or relativity. Therefore the complaints really seem to be about grammar-- and that would be wrong. /1 of 2

I know all these ghastly phrases have become normal as English evolves but “very complete” is very ugly. Complete, almost complete : fine. But “very complete” when something is not complete at all bothers me. I’m probably tired! Goodnight.

@GrammarTable I remember reading about this kind of question in the context of a newspaper's style. I think it said that NY Times avoids made-up "titles." And maybe there's a version of #2 that would require commas before and after the name. And maybe with the name before the descriptor.

@NJTRANSIT_HBLR Was this related to an event involving someone being hit with a chair? Something looking like a press release was posted to an individual's Facebook page, but I can't find any reporting online.

@LessonsLight @WilliamShatner Talking about "order" begs the question. What about UNIX time? ;-)
English
@WilliamShatner Any computer science under grad should be able to tell you why YYYYMM DD is the only logical order.
English
It’s not “logical”: there are 12 months, up to 31 days and an infinite number of years so the progression from 12 to 31 to infinity is the “logical” assumption of order.
The British just want to be annoyingly different. 😑
Dr_Prodworthy@Dr_Prodworthy
@WilliamShatner Spock would point out that DD/MM/YYYY, used by the Brits/entire non-American world, is more logical than MM/DD/YYYY. Not even Canadians use the US system, which is strange, b/c they copy everything else.
English
@WilliamShatner There is a perfect correspondence between dd/mm/yy and mm/dd/yy, so it's illogical to claim one is logical and the other not. The same information is conveyed, and there's no discernible difference in the ease of communication.

I first read about it in The New York Times a month ago.

You literally can’t find a single mainstream article about the Minnesota fraud... Not even one... How is it that a simple guy with a camera can uncover over $110,000,000 in fraud in a single day, but giant billion‑dollar media organizations behind the glass doors somehow “miss” it for years? It’s not that they couldn’t find it. It’s that they wouldn’t They are desperate to bury this, protect their ideological allies, and smear anyone who exposes how rotten the system is with “it’s not as bad as it looks” think‑pieces or by turning it into a race‑based narrative to shut people up This is as clear as it gets in broad daylight The story isn’t just the fraud... The story is the massive cover‑up....

@BalogunAbass12 The answer I heard was to announce to everybody within earshot, "does anyone know who this person is? They don't know and they're asking. "

@SydneyLWatson There are many different kinds of coffee with many different tastes. Some I enjoy a lot. I never have tasted sad, burned dirt, so I have no basis of comparison.
English
Maybe it's bc I'm a tea person all the way, but I honestly don't get coffee.
It tastes like sad, burned dirt. Why do you people drink this?
