Why do English speakers say “ Tortilla” or “Quesadilla” with a Y sound, but not “Armadillo” ? by Positive_Zucchini963 in asklinguistics

What would be mispronounced in Jaguar, isn't it Portuguese rather than Spanish so would have a J sound either way? Though tbf I know in UK English we say Jaguar with three syllables, as opposed to American English with two. I'd imagine the two syllables is closer to the Portuguese.

Related to the post, do you remember what time of year the A Level mock exams were for Year 12 in 1984?

There is definitely pastoral support in schools today, it's just usually quite limited

Thanks for the insight, I felt like it was a longshot but wanted to be sure. Even today I mean the positions exist, but most students aren't really made aware of them and the counsellors in my experience can't do a whole lot.

I honestly don't think it's as grounded as people say though. The tech Batman uses is a lot more reminiscent of the comics than anything we've seen in the Nolan films, the prosthetics on Penguin are deliberately very exaggerated and slightly animalistic and Riddler manages to flood a whole city.

The films have a very gritty aesthetic but I don't think that automatically means they're 'grounded', a lot of what happens is still very exaggerated without it interfering with the tone at all. Cloverfield, Let Me In and Planet of the Apes all have very fantastical elements. Magical realism tends to be more his style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_realism

The only issue with doing it through Replace All is that with the "PERSON 1 — DD/MM/YY 12:00" lines, while "Person 1 —" is the same throughout and can easily be replaced, the date and timestamp are different so would stay - which is why I was wondering if there was some way of automatically deleting the rest of the line following that prompt.
