It wouldn’t make it easier to arrange meetings because you’d have no clue if you were arranging the meeting for when people would be at work, have finished for the day, or fast asleep at night.

Pays for Bruce Banner to have therapy and anger management to work through his PTSD and anger issues.

Oh and it’s called 6th form cos you’re in year 6 of secondary school. Which is also called year 12!

I think it’s a hold over from some time in the past where the year numbers started over again at secondary school, as I understand you’d do your O levels in 5 form, then A levels in 6th.

Is “6th Form” not used as an alternative to College anymore (it was archaic when I went to 6th Form 20 years ago so wouldn’t be surprised if it has bitten the dust)

But you wouldn’t text another iPhone. You’d WhatsApp the person.

Fair. It’s hard to know sometimes if someone has English as a first or second language. People can be really technically good, but then not understand more subtle cultural things.

Never know maybe both of our comments will help some people.

It’s common in English to refer to a collective like a company or government as though it were an individual. I think it’s just a simple short hand really.

Eg “The whitehouse said today…” We know that the whitehouse (a building) doesn’t have the power of speech and that really means “a whitehouse spokesperson working in an official capacity on behalf of the government said today”.

Really the headline should be something along the lines of “what, exactly, are Xbox business strategists thinking?” But because of the common knowledge of how this shorthand works they can just use the headline they did.

There’s probably a fancy linguistic name for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To smoke a fag in British English means a very very different thing to in American English.

70 k = -203 c, -333 f

I think you’ve misread it. Not that it’s that much better.

20 months sentence (though probably half of that will be custodial the rest on licence/parole)

3 years and 10 month ban then an “extended” drivers test to get it back.

Might be worth letting the uni know. Surely they’ll want to fix the site!

X Window System (X11, or simply X) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on Unix-like operating systems.

To be fair I wouldn’t say we ‘sent them’ more that they left because they couldn’t oppress people as much as they wanted.

🤣 seems like the yanks learned that pretty well from us then.

My neighbour at the time was a lovely rough diamond type with a big knife scar down his face. He said he had an idea who it might have been and was going to have words.

We moved out of that area not long after.
