Witness reports, for example.

Well I felt the profit motive went without saying but I think you’re right.

One thing I can tell you with confidence about the Netherlands is that people there almost invariably overestimate their proficiency in English, so adverts and public announcements and the like in English often have embarrassing mistakes, so I’d put money down that they’re not going to hire a native speaker or perhaps even a chartered translator to check the translations.

Suspicious contempt for the rhythm section here.

You can say “fleetly” instead of “rapidly”. Actually “rapidly” sounds incorrect when describing flying.

Reads better than “Tommy needy drinky” anyway.

If you’ve been told once and your job hangs in the balance, then perhaps that’s a sign of needlessly strict management, but if I just got a stern “please don’t swear in front of the public” I’d just stop swearing.

Same the other way around.

I thought Manchester United.

Haha.

It’s not that bad unless you get a shitload on there. It’s not even as bad as cutting your finger with a knife, I’d say.

Not sure how to feel about jokes where they ask why it’s so rather than just saying it’s so.

The Germanic /w/ phoneme was, therefore, written as ⟨VV⟩ or ⟨uu⟩ (⟨u⟩ and ⟨v⟩ becoming distinct only by the Early Modern period) by the earliest writers of Old English and Old High German, in the 7th or 8th centuries.[8] Gothic (not Latin-based), by contrast, had simply used a letter based on the Greek Υ for the same sound in the 4th century. The digraph ⟨VV⟩/⟨uu⟩ was also used in Medieval Latin to represent Germanic names, including Gothic ones like Wamba.

It is from this ⟨uu⟩ digraph that the modern name “double U” derives. The digraph was commonly used in the spelling of Old High German but only in the earliest texts in Old English, where the /w/ sound soon came to be represented by borrowing the rune ⟨ᚹ⟩, adapted as the Latin letter wynn: ⟨ƿ⟩. In early Middle English, following the 11th-century Norman Conquest, ⟨uu⟩ regained popularity; by 1300, it had taken wynn’s place in common use.

That’s the solution I’ve landed on for using Youtube, since Invidious and Piped always cack the bed for me. I’ve deleted my old Google account and started a new one with a fake email address, too.

If you really want to hear it, you can just watch one of his interviews on youtube or whatever.

Well, I don’t agree that making an offensive joke is necessarily being an arsehole, but I suppose you are right in principle.

I felt like I’d matured and grown as a person when I decided I preferred the standard pattern to the spooky castle and palm tree on the beach. I was still a child, of course.
