Ask Lemmy

US newspaper headlines.

"Polilitician lies, world ignores, carries on."

I get the idea is to abbreviate to fit as much in, but it hurts my mind every time! There has to be some retention of language!

Anyway not anyways. I don’t care what the dictionary says. Anyways sounds backwoods, plural, and the “s” is pointless.

That my wife HAS to dust off her feet before getting in bed. Dirty bed? Go fudge yourself!

Nuts only make sense in something that's already hard, like a cookie. It complements it by going from something hard-ish to another hard-ish texture.

Nuts in cake DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I hate having to chew something smooth and spongy and suddenly - CRONCH. It's repulsive. 99% of the time it also tastes worse than the cake itself. If you actually want to put nuts on your damn cake, put it on the top so I can slide it off and eat it separately. Thank you.

When saying "Next" in reference to a time "Next" means the soonest occurrence of that. Don't skip one. If today is friday and I say "Next Saturday", that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.

Why not just always use fewer. It's really effortfewer to do so.

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

Funny: Mine is correcting people who try to enforce a prescriptive distinction between “less” and “fewer” when “less” is often used with count nouns. They can be interchangeable, and it’s been this way for hundreds of years.
