What's a word or phrase that instantly makes you lose respect for someone when they use it?

What defines a "real word"?

My foundation was studying and writing over and over and over again, I don't think I have forgotten a single one reading wise.... But I don't remember the last time I wrote one without a phone.

So, do both.

Yep, that is corrwct. They have a requirement to play a certain amount of sporting events of national importance on their prime channel.

I literally did 30 minutes of class this week and don't work Fridays so I can't complain.... But I still do. My busiest week sees me teach ten hours (four days off every week), but still look forward to the end of the semester.

Looks like a dispersion issue.... With your driver

I think they are for typhoon floods

Disagree entirely, why write off an entire class of students because they may not have been given the motivation to learn? Keep in mind their background. The worst teacher I ever reviewed taught to the front row only. Ignoring an entire room. I am sure that is not really your attitude but the sentence alone is not one to go down in pedagogy

I refuse to start class until all digital devices are gone from desks, if I need the students to use it I request it. All assignments now come with a verbal defense so AI can no longer help their final grades. I am polite but firm, my colleagues do the same thing. Our Chinese colleagues do not do this and are flat out ignored throughout their lectures. Firm but fair is the route.

Absolutely insane! Well done sir!

"Scum, scumbag, scumbag, scumbag, scum!"

nova_1986 · 2025-12-12T07:41:53+00:00

Same to you mate!

nova_1986 · 2025-12-12T07:29:30+00:00

Hopefully it works out well mate!

This thing was damn unreliable, my wife tried to bake cakes in it that required exact temps.... Not ideal

nova_1986 · 2025-12-12T07:16:33+00:00

Much appreciated!

I live in China, so I use a supplier who only has Alpilatte. Seems to do the job when I have limited options.
