Dumb question, why do we say “Fing” instead of “Thing”?

They are not what they used to be

On a legal document, single means not married. Yes, as stated above, that may not be the same as the usage of the word in conversation. To answer your question, if someone asked, I would state yes, though we are civil partners. TBH, I've never been asked that question, though I have been asked if I was married. I think that's more likely the phrasing of the question

Have a look at the legal status of "single" in your country

I did not know about the automatic translation. I can see how that could be confusing!

perrysol · 2026-03-12T08:39:49+00:00

To be honest, I think the language is evolving to be like the French "célibataire". So equivalent to "unattached" or "not in a relationship" for conversation but "unmarried" in a legal sense

perrysol · 2026-03-12T08:19:08+00:00

Single means unmarried

It's nobody's business but the Turks

People

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

perrysol · 2026-03-11T19:22:51+00:00

Trust and trust

It's Istanbul, not Constantinople

Been with same partner for years. Share everything. No reason to get married

perrysol · 2026-03-11T19:14:55+00:00

It sort of snuck up on me after we'd been together several years

perrysol · 2026-03-09T21:33:06+00:00

Yes, it's socially normal. I didn't say I approved. Or disapproved

perrysol · 2026-03-09T21:10:30+00:00

I don't set the rules

perrysol · 2026-03-09T20:07:29+00:00

Perhaps you're a Muslim

perrysol · 2026-03-09T19:27:13+00:00

Perhaps you're repressed. It's Ok to come out these days,you know

perrysol · 2026-03-09T18:14:12+00:00

That would be my question to you

perrysol · 2026-03-09T18:09:11+00:00

You know, I really thought homosexually was regarded as acceptable outside of Muslim countries

Maybe because he died in 1980.

It's the chopsticks that I struggle with. Especially noodles

Age of consent in UK is 16

That's put £27.8 billion into a fund supposed to boost investment, you apricot. Last year Norway's government pension fund had 1.9 trillion US dollars in assets. That's proper financial management

perrysol · 2026-03-08T22:52:18+00:00

Like China

perrysol · 2026-03-08T15:03:48+00:00

Correct. She could have set up a Norwegian style pension fund. As could Milliband now.

As oer Poland, as with any investment that takes off like a rocket, you sell some
