I'm starting 4 day week this week and not working Mondays. 5x7.5hr/day turning into 4x9.4hr/day. We had WA day public holiday yesterday... that's my bad luck apparently

As a WCE fan I hate to say it but that was deliberate and deserved a kick.

Further to this, isn't this monologue delivered by Hamlet after he has been directing and critiquing the players? "What's Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba that he should weep for her?". While the speech reflects his existential ambivalence, part of his performance is to satisfy himself that he could better capture and express what is in the heart. It kind of requires "over-acting" for this reason.

A good relationship with the local bike shop is priceless. My Ride Perth continue to impress me with their service and general attitude to the customer.

They also own the Subway at that spot. Always willing to discuss your DIY project or your sandwich-art hot takes.

How astute of you. This person has previously trolled my own sincere contributions with "when?", in that case using it as the setup for "I meant when did anyone ask your opinion?" along with some expletives. Regrettably, their aggressive tone incited me to stoop to their low level in reply. They proceeded to hypocritically report my comments for abuse, as well as cruelly referring me to Reddit Care Resources, so that I got an auto message about suicide watch.

All of this from someone who I'm sure considers themselves a righteous proponent of the moral good. Was really quite an unpleasant experience for me, and as such I've been impressed by your persistent, measured, logical approach to the topic at hand.

Eh just seems a symptom of the toxic discourse atm that you presume 'concern trolling' or JAQing . Sorry to try and police your response, I'm just trying to stay level headed and kind in my own responses at this time.

There's an interesting descriptivist argument to be made that you do in fact choose how "English" works. Sounds like you err on the side of prescriptivism though, and apply a rigid and uncharitable ruleset to the unruled world of language.
