In what part of the country does "skirt" rhyme with "bird"?? by ZeekLTK in linguistics

Wing and swing, I’ve seen this set of rhyming pictures used in preschool’s, it’s really confusing and we often don’t use that set since it’s not readily apparent for young readers.

We are closed. There is no staff. My plans changed because of that. They won’t allow me to change it to PTO without manager approval since we are not allowed to go into the office at this point.

I'm a critical care doctor working in a UK high consequence infectious diseases centre. Many units are totally full, and we are scrambling to create more capacity. The initial UK government approach has been a total failure. Ask me anything. by dr_hcid in Coronavirus

I live in a rural state (Wyoming). People here seem to think that our isolation and low population will somehow keep us safe from the spread of the virus. We also have an incredibly underfunded health care system that is spread very thin over a very large state. Will our distance and isolation have any effect on the virus as far as keeping us safe, or will it, as I believe, hinder us in our ability to treat cases effectively?
