And I wonder why schools are obsessed with exam grades...

Better still, they go to give blood
Yeah, they're terrible. And no other team in any league ever commits fouls.
Probably shouldn't have called it "triangle measurements", tbf
Moving home in the summer. New place has a bum gun. Cannot wait!
In recent years I've come to think that introducing graphs as a relationship between two coordinates is a far better approach than slope-intercept form. It builds long-term understanding more effectively.
"Few care about the words"? Do you mean, "among my friends, most of whom are similar to me in many ways, few care about the words"?
Is it really that big of a deal?
Thankfully I don't have to experience US new media too much, but I'm certainly willing to believe it's worse!
Drama and comedy, yes. But the news service has become heavily politicised to the point where BBC World is nothing more than propaganda. Maybe it was always that way?
Does true randomness even exist?
Have Spurs been trialling that this season?
And I believe the UK did the same thing with billions of dollars of Venezuela's sovereign wealth that had been deposited in UK banks.
Divorcé, rather than divorcée, I assume?
Perhaps a non-stationary point of inflection, assuming I've understood the original statement correctly? (Just been teaching about concavity to my Year 13 students)
Have we just passed a point of inflection?
Nicely put! I'd say I'm increasingly introverted (but not "increasingly more") and have learnt to embrace it, too.
I've heard that you can put things called "pictures" or "photographs" on the grey walls to make them less boring. Not sure how that works but might give it a go.
I'm not sure that the mode would be all that helpful
Have you met women?
Have you listened to her stuff with theaudience? It's very good
And you can't park on the road? The bit that's for cars?
You do know that the path outside your house isn't your path, don't you?
The dictionary is responding to current usage, but that current usage is illogical (as your link acknowledges) which is why so many people think it's wrong. And let's face it, it is clearly wrong.
I hope "worse" was just an innocent typing mistake!
It's up there with "I could care less", and "it's not that big of a deal" 😔
"Set foot" or "step", but never "step foot". Never.
:)
Also, I feel that clarity is more important than length. In fact I might go so far as to say I'd put elegance above length. "Obligated" adds length but does nothing for clarity, and reduces elegance. But always good to stay imformated on what other people think!
If used universally there are some (not many) situations where it could introduce ambiguity. I've seen far more cases where omitting it causes a problem, which is why I became an Oxford Comma Cult Member several years ago.
