Don't start this again.

How can we trust the calculations of native English speakers who write it's instead of its so many times?

What about Johnny Mnemonic?

He was the actor in Moon??

Gosh, I never saw it as a very good movie. The use of Robbie the Robot in particular was really uninspiring to me. Not as bad as Jar-Jar, but about on the level of adding Clyde to Smokey and the Bandit.

Actually mine is another John Ritter movie: They All Laughed by Peter Bogdanovich. It was a really good film but got ruined by the gruesome murder of one of the actresses just after its release. I don't know why they didn't hold onto it for a year and release it later.

People keep using the word digital. I do not think it means what they think it means.

Did you say the croupier uses his fingers?

Not true. Salad means different things in different contexts. In America, mixture often including lettuce. Whereas in British English, salad is most often synonymous with lettuce leaves, cut ready to eat.

This logic only follows sometimes. Cheeseburger also implies beef. And something new, like pineapple burger or avocado burger - will likely mean an addition to beef to an American speaker, and replacement for meat to a British speaker.

Exposing your "bany" to weakened viruses... how is this much different from just letting the breathe air, suck on toys, eat food?

Who was killed?

(Sorry, my whitespace was removed)

And by my final comment, what I meant to say is that I think this whole vaccination thing has reached a fever pitch. People just need to relax a little bit. How can you live so worried about what idiots think?

Interesting. Here's what I don't hear anybody saying: Is the measles rate really very "high"? Certainly, it's higher than New York's last year, but how does it compare to Paris? London? I think it seems like NYC has less measles than London. And deaths? Sure, measles is really serious. But these days, is anybody actually dying from it? I kind of suspect this is just news theatre rather than a real (meaning interesting or significant) story. I have seen many a meme on reddit etc. calling people out for their weird beliefs about completely optional vaccinations like the flu and chicken pox.

I had a boss once who accidentally disclosed her pregnancy with a Windows desktop notification that said something along the lines of "my pregnancy, week X. Now your baby is beginning to blah blah..." She had to recover the situation with a one-on-one meeting with each of us, to discuss the confidential nature of the disclosure. When she did eventually disclose to her boss the reaction was not supportive. She got screwed over by the company eventually, which was unfortunate.

Did you have to quit? How did you recover the situation?
