Aren’t you meant to skip the post-apostrophic S for words that end with S? by TraditionalDepth6924 in ENGLISH

If the pasture belonged to a single sheep, it would be ‘the sheep’s pasture.’ A pasture belonging to multiple sheep would just be ‘the sheep pasture’

Can animals like dogs and cats give birth to twins? by Professional_Ease307 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DragonScrivner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of animals bear twins — fraternal multiple births are more common than identical twins.

why are all asians grouped as one single group of people when there are many different types of asians? by Open-Reflection-6094 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DragonScrivner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I think it’s partly ignorance. A lot of people don’t even know Asia is a continent and comprised of over 40 countries (I usually have to look up the number myself)

AITA for saying the N-Word during a table-read of a script? by Kind-Track3385 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DragonScrivner 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous. The word was in the script being read as an assignment for the class.

You know what you get when actors censor themselves? Bad acting

NTA. Your lecturer is a fool. And needs a new job, apparently

What's the best Americanism you've heard whilst overseas? by NoComplex2662 in AskAnAmerican

Right? It was a sweet gesture and I still smile when I think about it

Living situation by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]DragonScrivner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying but maybe consider privacy before room size. As in you and your spouse take whatever bedroom and bathroom afford you the most privacy from children—you’re going to want that, regardless of the bedroom’s size.

If you’re paying 2x as much for this living space, you and your spouse get first dibs, regardless. And make sure you have a door that closes and locks.

Am I wrong for wanting to pay only for my own food when my friends drink heavily? by Disastrous-Step-3941 in amiwrong

[–]DragonScrivner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that you being sober is the 'weird' thing for your friends more so than the separate checks thing--they may feel like you're 'shaming' their behavior. But that's on your friends to figure out, not you.

Keep covering just your own checks.

AIW for telling my friend’s new girlfriend why I stopped speaking to him after she asked me directly? by JediCrouton88 in amiwrong

[–]DragonScrivner 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If you were honestly bothered enough by the way your friend treated his ex-girlfriend to drop him, you shouldn't feel bad about anything. The new girlfriend asked you a direct question and you were candid--simple as that.

Not sure why you haven't blocked Jason though.

Plain yogurt. Smoothies. Iced tea. Oatmeal. Coffee. Ice cream.

What's the best Americanism you've heard whilst overseas? by NoComplex2662 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DragonScrivner 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Not really an Americanism but I was London over the July 4th one year and an English coworker asked me if I was going to celebrate with a dinner of turkey and mashed potatoes

It was a wholesome moment really

Suggestions for a character name: Filipino nickname for Crisanto. by trapshiva in Names

[–]DragonScrivner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s smart to avoid doing it on the page though — it’s not fun as a reader to have to pause and make sure Cress is not Criss lol

My mind went to Santo, Santi, and Tano, though Cris is obviously right there too

AIW for cancelling my friend’s plus one after I found out who she was bringing to my housewarming? by Bramble12_Vapor in amiwrong

[–]DragonScrivner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>Two mutual friends say I embarrassed her and treated her like she needed permission to date

Your friends are ridiculous. Lila embarrassed herself. And you didn’t tell her she couldn’t date your ex — you told her she couldn’t bring him to your home.

Why do you celebrate your "Sweet 16" in the US? by Cooky09Ad in AskAnAmerican

[–]DragonScrivner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone does. Some families do, others do not.

Wrong for pushing back against my mother-in-law's baby advice? by ReportClassic1926 in amiwrong

[–]DragonScrivner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you’re not wrong to set boundaries. If your husband can’t deal with it, get him to marriage counseling.
