@MattLevy51 American English is notorious for frequently used but rule defying idioms, turning adjectives into verbs, and having to abide by multiple old language rules when using words with origins in Latin, Greek, German, Yiddish, French, Old English, etc.

[Morgan G Dowd @MorganGDowd]

@MattLevy51 I feel that the reason autocorrect is so infuriating is because the device tries to correct the sentence word by word when that's not how English works. One has to take the sentence as a whole to know which meanings and/or spellings of words are appropriate.

@LBGoose @LivinIsntEasy86 @adamconover Pomander Walk would be an example of a private sidewalk, it looks like a public way but it's technically the center of an apartment complex made to look like row houses

@adamconover Plaques like that are a requirement for a tall building that got a height exemption in exchange for providing plaza space. It's basically proof that they used an exact percentage of their total lot for public use.

@Spagh3ttiJoe Julius Fromm invented latex products, such as latex gloves and condoms, in 1920s Berlin to deal with the rampant syphilis. The story of the inventor and the company takes all sorts of dramatic turns in the war years as the Axis and Allies fought for control of his condom factory

@AnthonyKapfer I remember when we didn't have to be so nostalgic all the time. Those were the days...

@ESL62848918 @BBCWorld Gold has minute antibacterial qualities so, similar to brass doorknobs, rich people think it insulates them from germs

@TheAnuhart @shannonrwatts @clylealt Our wood/metal shop burned down so everyone took Home Ec. I was amazed when I went to college and no one my age knew how to cook an egg or clean a toilet or make a grocery budget.

@russell__mania Maggots are baby flies and they poop antiseptic so they are technically clean

@StephenSpinola That's how we got Pope Leo X

@DaiMacculate @OhColeman Thanks! With those clues I was able to find that it was episode 150, "Repression" : On board Voyager, Tom Paris and his new wife B'Elanna Torres enter the holodeck recreation of the Palace Theatre in Chicago to watch a classic film.

@evanlesliejones Sounds like the J. T. LeRoy scandal all over again

@tammygolden John Chthulu settles down in R'lyeh, North Carolina and opens a cat café/mind flaying palace

@FrankConniff This might be the movie that gets me to go to the cinema again.

[Morgan G Dowd @MorganGDowd]

@evanlesliejones He was also an executive producer of that English-language remake of the Spanish soap "Grand Hotel" that ran for one season
