Common misconception! 'the tube' and 'the underground' are London-specific terms It's 'subway' in Glasgow (however in England 'subway' means a pedestrian underpass) 'metro' is the generic, neutral term no matter the continent

just learned about this regional difference in definitions for the word "nonplussed" and it kinda ruined my day. the way we use it in america is basically an antonym to how it's used anywhere else. why are we like this?

Do Euros understand that they only get along because we hugged them tight and made them kiss? If America withdraws from Europe, Germany and Russia will be partitioning Poland within a decade, Greece and Turkey will race for nukes, and the Balkans will spontaneously combust.

🚨 BREAKING: Wireless Festival will keep Kanye West as its headliner Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said: "I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on October 7th, am pro Jew and the Jewish state, while being equally committed to a Palestinian state.  "Having had a person in my life for the last 15 years who suffers from mental illness, I have witnessed many episodes of despicable behaviour that I have had to forgive and move on from. If I wasn’t before, I have become a person of forgiveness and hope in all aspects of my life, including work. "What Ye has said in the past about Jews and Hitler is as abhorrent to me as it is to the Jewish community, the Prime Minister and others that have commented and - taking him at his word - to Ye now also.  "Ye’s music is played on commercial radio stations in this country. It is available via live streams and downloads in this country without comment or vitriol from anyone and he has a legal right to come into the country and to perform in this country. He is intended to come in and perform. We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions.  "Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing (as was mine) and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do"
