I mean, Kotaku didnt have the best journalistic integrity track record to begin with, and the EIC approves their articles, so...
50 guides a week sounds ridiculous, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kotaku authors were already doing this.
EDIT:
Also, maybe don't immediately publicly disparage your boss after resigning because they made a choice you didnt agree with?
What does this even mean? And shouldn't it be a herb? (Not trying to correct you on it, I know you're just quoting, but I can't figure out how or why you would say an herb.)
A/an before a word is dependant on how the subsequent word is pronounced, not spelled. So for that sentence, the implication is that it's pronounced closer to "erb", thus "an" to precede instead of "a". Another example that's a bit counterintuitive is "one" being pronounced like "won", so you'd get "a one time thing" rather than "an one time thing".
I'm aware of when to use "a" versus "an", but I wasn't aware that Americans don't pronounce the "h"! It makes a lot more sense now, thanks!
...well, a little bit more sense, anyway - I'm still not sure what calling someone "a herb" actually means...
Yeah, I'm with you there, not sure what they mean by that
I wonder whether it doesn't have any inherent meaning. I mean, we all get the sense that it's an insult.
I say this because one of my favourite insult formats is "you [multisyllabic adjective] [random noun]. Stuff like "You incorrigible spade" or "You abominable turnip". They're next to meaningless, but my intention is clear
