As a kid, it was a cartoon - The Little Mermaid. As an adult... It is a cartoon - Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse.

2009? It will expire in 5 years and we'll be inundated with devices that require you to get up from your seat and yell out the name of the brand to end an ad ☹️

I've just asked Gemini about cheese that slides off pizza, it didn't recommend glue.

Yeah. I took my second-hand car to an authorised dealer and they offered to extend my warranty from 3 to 10 years. For money of course but it wasn't ridiculously expensive, and had no excess.

New cars. After a car has been owned by one owner, for however short a period of time, it dramatically reduces its price. At least in the UK.

Oh I didn't take it as such 🙂 I just disagree.

Although using "data" as both singular and plural is acceptable in modern English, I once sat through an online training stating "[there can be] negative consequences if data are misused or falls into the wrong hands" which is just so cringe!

"be" is an irregular verb in all languages, so it's not unique to English. Bonus fun fact: Russian doesn't have the verb "to be".

A vowel is the core of a syllable. Y is not always that, as in "yes" - it works as a consonant in that word.

What linguistic rules does it break? 🤨

 

I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was "minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X". My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.
