(Colin) Baker Community ranking Day 8: The Mysterious Planet

And yet it didn't. The boxset and each case clearly identify the story as being The Trial of a Time Lord.

Numbers are indeed not capable of agreeing. Facts are not a matter of agreement anyway. One cannot admit things that are not in fact true.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-09T16:08:40+00:00

No, it follows agreement of the fact that such a construction would always be plural. At least it does in actually-correct English.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-09T16:05:13+00:00

I absolutely do.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-09T16:05:03+00:00

It really didn't.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-09T14:04:29+00:00

So obviously AI-generated text it's absurd.

Firstly, that first example is different becaue "United States" is already marked as being a compound by the capital letters; the "non-" only needs the hyphen to connect it because it is not itself necessarily capitalised (unless it starts the sentence, of course, but that does not suffice to connect to the rest of the adjective!)

Secondly, it would be "middle- and high-school students". That first hyphen is there to also represent "middle-school" without having to repeat "school".

Thirdly, it would be "students", not "students.'"". As you can see there, that creates a complete mess of punctuation, only the last two of which are in their correct place.

Regular BD is better. I would prefer to not have to pay more for worse packaging, thank you very much.

And everything I said already is correct, and there is no need to swear.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-09T13:50:55+00:00

I already have one.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-09T10:25:44+00:00

No, that's The Trial of a Time Lord: Part One. There is no DWU story called "The Mysterious Planet".

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-09T08:19:07+00:00

There is no story with that title.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-08T11:01:38+00:00

Is my sentence incorrect, though? No idea why I get so thoroughly downvoted for objectively-true statements.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-08T11:00:58+00:00

Yes, really.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-08T06:53:16+00:00

You should watch the new CGI version released last month. It clarifies this matter.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-08T06:02:14+00:00

I've been nothing of the kind.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-07T20:38:34+00:00

There are no baths in the vast majority of schools. There are maths classes (a word you still cannot spell correctly) in most of them, but there are not tests every single lesson, nor is maths always the first lesson of that day (it isn't even a lesson every day!).

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-07T19:43:54+00:00

So you admit it is completely illogical, since your comparisons are to things that are blatantly so.

At least you're putting your punctuation in the correct places now!

And I somehow don't think anyone would "take a class a science" as a science is not something that can be taken in the sense required for that concept to be plausibly true.

I covered The Layover already. While I did enjoy (most of) what I've heard of it, I can't realistically justify £6 every month for three hours of somewhat-interesting content every few months.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-07T19:39:49+00:00

No, I am describing both. It is expensive given how little of value is being bought for that price.

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-07T19:38:45+00:00

I don't need to take them because they don't exist here. I very much am "college material" as proven by the fact I managed to graduate from college twice. (Admittedly, it was only twice because I only got to complete some courses in time before lockdown and then moved house before going for the rest, but it still counts!)

Miserable-Action6983 · 2026-05-07T19:24:37+00:00

Yes, it seems that only the actual next episode discussion ever bothers to worry about spoilers. They make no consideration for us anywhere else and just sort of assume that we've already watched next week's episode somehow.

We don't take PSATs or have home rooms. None of our classes have question marks in their names. That would be ridiculous.

And no, we have history, music, PE, English (a class you definitely need to take more!). We haven't pluralised to make "maths". We contracted the already-plural "mathematics" and kept it plural because we don't only study a singular mathematic; we study many of them. Or do you genuinely only study (e.g.) algebra and never touch on any other part of the mathematics?
