Irregardless is also a word. It is in dictionaries and was first documented to be used in the 1700s. You’re free to not like it, but people will continue to use languages in the way that’s useful to them regardless of your opinions. https://www.npr.org/2020/07/07/887649010/regardless-of-what-you-think-irregardless-is-a-word
My issue is that you can say orient as in “I use a map to orient myself in a new city.” Orientate is just a longer way to say the same thing. My point was I don’t like it, but I don’t pretend it should be policed either.
I perceive thou dost not honour English, wherefore this discourse doth lead to naught.
Did you understand irregardless?
If people say it, it is a word. Irregarless grinds against my sensibilities like orientate does, but you can’t fight the tide (and shouldn’t because language changes).
Absolutely, I once forgot my money and didn’t realize until I went to pay. The cashier offered to set aside my bag for me while I went home for it (20 min walk}. When I got back they had forgotten who I was until I reminded them. The moral is that the cashier couldn’t have cared less about the situation.
Chili crisp. Easy, cheap (homemade to make it as cheap as it gets), delicious
Then, “Well, I cleaned them, might as well use them one more time.” I am not sure how/when the cycle stops.
You seem to be pointing out that formal education isn’t needed to learn something. That’s obviously true. The person you’re responding to seems to be saying that being a librarian is a job that requires a nontrivial amount of learning. That learning is on the level of something like a masters degree. This is also true
I don’t understand this urge. Wastewater treatment plants deal with raw sewage, sure, but their whole purpose is to make it better than it comes in. That’s real, tangible good. Why dirty their names? They already take the rest of our literal crap.
QGIS is what the meme is about. I didn’t see it when I looked either
Don’t bother. I tried it. 1 star.
You can test your “flushable” wipes. Put them in a jar with water, shake for 30 seconds. Do the same with toilet paper. Wait 5 minutes. If your wipes aren’t as broken down as the toilet paper, they will cause problems in your pipes.
Not quite. No apostrophe usually means plural. With apostrophe means possessive or a contraction (what is to what’s). Its/it’s is an edge case where the possessive “its” has no apostrophe and contraction “it’s” does.
All that being said, native speakers mistype all of these all of the time, so you don’t have to worry about it for casual conversation.
For anyone wondering these are, legally speaking, ebikes. As in they squeezed a delivery truck into the legal definition for a bike to be able to use bike lanes.
What species do you think is pictured? Looks like young salmon to me.
A small script to append some characters to a string based on whether the letters in the file name were capitalized. Super simple, but I had a data migration project to a system that doesn’t recognize case and people before me coded information into case. It is essentially tutorial level but real life application. Maybe you have something similar? Practical and working before anything complex.
Also is the tree the negative space or is the sky? Your pic swings back and forth for me
