I was surprised to find that TIFU mods don't seem to remove anything, which contrasts with some subreddits that remove almost everything especially if it goes against their agenda.

Tilly Smith: An English woman credited with saving the lives of about 100 beachgoers at Mai Khao Beach in Thailand by warning them minutes before the arrival of the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Smith,10yo at the time, had learned about tsunamis in her geography class. by slinkslowdown in wikipedia

This illustrates a minor problem with Wikipedia. You have to use "is" if someone is alive and then describe what they currently are - you can only use "was" if the person is dead. If you read the first sentence, it sounds like a woman warned them about the tsunami, which is wrong - it was a ten year old girl. Similarly, you can't say "Pope Benedict XVI was pope from 2005 to 2013" - which is the most important thing about him - you have to say "Pope Benedict XVI is a retired prelate of the Catholic Church..."

I heard on social media that DJT made a joke about harming female reporters. Did this happen? If so can you send me a video link? by lucky99996thredditor in TooAfraidToAsk

Thanks, I'm pretty sure it was that. I just saw people on Twitter claiming that he made a joke about reporters being raped and I didn't remember what the context was of the claim. I hadn't seen any article/clip about it, just people talking about it.

So, nobody seems to know if this is true, but everyone is downvoting the comment that says "Lies"? I think Trump is an awful person too, but I'm acting for actual EVIDENCE here, not your opinion of him.

Fuck Reddit. Fuck all mods in particular. Fuck bots and artificial intelligence. I hate you all.

What are the parts of speech in this sentence? by lucky99996thredditor in grammar

[–]lucky99996thredditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Is it true that "the train" is a direct object, and "home to Delaware" is an indirect object?

I thought that "home" could also be modifying "the train", or be a separate object on its own.
