Mine is people who separate words when they write. I’m Norwegian, and we can string together words indefinetly to make a new word. The never ending word may not make any sense, but it is gramatically correct...
Rule of thumb is to add an apostrophe at the end of a word ending in S, otherwise add 's. I imagine this is only because the extra S sound gets cut off when you sleak
My biggest apostrophe pet peeve isn’t a fault of the language but with the misuse when pluralizing acronyms and years.
It’s not the ABC’s, it’s the ABCs. It’s not the 1970’s, it’s the 1970s. You don’t need apostrophes to pluralize.
I was paying extra attention to this the last 3 days and i noticed that about 8 of 10 people: hold their dogs close preemptively (most of the time nothing happens wiht those) dogs bork and need to be held back people cross to the other side...
Most people don’t train their dogs but it’s not a new trend. I’d wager that the last time you could rightly say “most people train their dogs” was in the first couple decades of domestication
Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the “Return Youtube Dislike” extension wasn’t working, as in, I wasn’t seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?
I’ve been thinking about getting a Nebula subscription for awhile now. Most of the channels I subscribe to are on there so I’d feel good paying to support them. And Practical Engineering’s new (now finished) series was so good, I want to see more stuff like that instead of hoping the YouTube algorithm suggests something worth watching
You’re way ahead of most people learning guitar even if none of those instruments are fretted. Give it a go, I’ll bet you’d surprise yourself with how capable you are after a couple of days!
Get the fuck outta here putting them in the good category. They got rid of immobilizers which led to thousands and thousands of cars getting stolen - mine included. Then when my car was recovered, the repairs took 5 weeks and they told me to pound sand when I brought up how the remote start THEY installed when I bought it didn’t work anymore.
You should really include your reasons instead of waiting for people to ask. I just reread your list and it seems extremely arbitrary
One of the ways of dealing with illusion magic is by disbelieving it, so a simply paranoid party could get advantage to dispelling illusions by saying they don’t believe what they they see, in theory.
Thank you, that explains a lot. I haven’t played DND yet and I definitely don’t know the history of it like that!
The new one that bugs me is saying “actually” and “genuinely” before every fuckin statement. Those (a long with “not gonna lie”) make me think I shouldn’t trust anything you say unless you clarify you’re being sincere first
Yesterday I posted a picture of the tower I made while waiting for my friend to get back. Last night we worked together to extend the tower to new heights....
So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.
Has this been done somewhere?...
