Sorry but not a good doctor if they shame you like that.

And for a linguist the question is really whether there are native speakers who consider it correct. Here there are millions who say yes.

I think you’d call this elision. Assume that the phrase is originally “the car needs to be washed” but you cut out “to be”, making it into a shorter form. It’s pretty common in language to shorten things to make it faster to speak. Think of the endless contractions in English or perhaps leaving part of a sentence completely unspoken because the content is easily assumed by the interlocutors.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Good for him, though, he’s trying.

Don’t kid yourself–it will eventually become more like Twitter once the entire planet onboards. Decentralization will help a lot, though.

It’s cute how you made it personal for no reason.

Funny enough I learned about it in a linguistics class from a professor out of Michigan. Never heard the concept before and I think a lot of people had their minds blown.

To go after a loose group of reporters from different countries?

They aren’t in the United States. This lawsuit is in France.

Dialect variation. For me, saying “the car needs washed” sounds truly strange but millions and millions of people say it. You’re experiencing similar with this phrase.

Haha thanks for making me laugh. If it helps, it took me years to recognize that Chipotle didn’t have the chipotle flavor Tabasco simply because it tastes good.

Those aren’t bike lanes. They are merging guides for the cars. So yeah it’s still lacking but better than a cloverleaf.

Edit: sorry, there are bike lanes. I hadn’t noticed that there were two colors on my mobile

Since there are traffic lights, I personally would no be worried about taking my bike through

I agree that this is the lesson, but it’s bolstered by decades of bad behavior by the previous generations who chose not to leave a livable world for their children.

Sorry, but that was a “kids these days” moment.

Gotcha

You have to vulcanize it to make it usable. That also makes it not degrade in the environment.

I would wonder if you felt the same about driving? I’m betting that part of it is that you don’t know how to react in a bind. That’s practice and training more than anything.

Try this: Go watch some kitchen safety how videos. Go by some boxed Mac and cheese. Make it, it’s foolproof.
Notice that everything turned out ok. Try it again a few times. Now go try something different that you might like.

I hear about a lot of school shootings but not bombings. Don’t think that’s really a thing.

Fuck cars

But if there are cars, you want these

I’ve only had two people say they would block me. In both cases it was me asking questions about their comment and them getting angry and not having or wanting to give an answer.

I only block when people get personal for no particular reason.
