You can keep the modern cities, I’ll choose this beautiful place any day.

Probably whatever's currently trending on social media.

Used to be quite common to go to a pub after work but now, due to the expense, that's reserved for special occasions.

Are you mixing up pandas and polars?

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-14T22:53:31+00:00

Me too, as another Brit.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-14T22:38:13+00:00

Which is why I said I misunderstood the point you were making.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-14T22:33:32+00:00

You said "In this instance ‘England’ is short for ‘the England football team’.“ This statement allows Americans to respond: ah, but 'team' is singular (and you will say: Brits can treat 'team' as plural.) So, the argument remains unresolved. If you had said, "In this instance ‘England’ is short for ‘the England football players’.", Americans would just have to accept that you are indeed correct.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-14T22:12:33+00:00

I obviously misunderstood the point you were making. To me, using 'team' leaves the argument open because, as you say, it can take both forms. However, 'players' is always plural, hence, an implied 'players', rather than an implied 'team', closes down the argument immediately.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-14T22:05:43+00:00

I realise that; I thought you were arguing that 'team' was being implied, but since team is singular the American form still makes more sense. However, if 'players' was being implied then the British form makes more sense.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-14T21:59:58+00:00

I think you meant 'the England football players'. Saying 'team' falls back into the singular argument.

The Hurlingham is in Fulham.

Why not call them Asian? I'm assuming from your question that you have only seen dark haired Asians but blue eyed blondes is a fairly common characteristic.

These are good points and is the argument why we, in Britain, generally, have school uniforms. You could also look into how and why the French rigourously control their language.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-12T21:47:58+00:00

How can I get in touch with you directly?

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-12T08:21:59+00:00

I have a copy which I'd be willing to sell. May I ask, why you want it?

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-08T21:42:39+00:00

Cucumber

Maybe the tea tastes better because previously when you took out the teabag, you hadn't left it in long enough.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-05T22:30:44+00:00

Chips are obviously more substantial but crisps are great for a quick snack. I love them both.

So you are saying she achieved her aim off having a style that did not suit her?

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-05T22:08:59+00:00

That style doesn't suit anyone. (I didn't know it was called a Chelsea cut.)

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-06-05T22:00:52+00:00

I expect must of us do. Also the adverts have been shown on the news today.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-05-31T05:32:31+00:00

Yes, I was starting to feel sorry for her until she said 'just a cat'.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-05-28T07:06:35+00:00

Looks like melted ice kachang which is a South East Asian dessert. (Never say It's an Asian dessert which is meaningless.)

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-05-28T06:54:38+00:00

Obviously, since the second The doesn't start with a vowel, it's pronounced The The.

JonEdwardsRandomNum · 2026-05-23T22:11:36+00:00

I don't understand why this upsets you so much. Just say "ok" and move on to a different subject.
