Omg thank you for this!!! I never understood when whom would ever be used!!

I know!! I can't imagine Zuko with any other voice!!

So I think the "horse is likely to bite you if you’re looking in its mouth too closely" is an assumption we both had about this phrase. I grew up in the suburbs and rarely saw horses so I assumed this phrase was about it possibly bitting. However I now live in a more rural area and horses are pretty sweet and the only reason anyone looks in their mouth is to make sure they're healthy or figure their age. I'm guessing you, like me, also grew up not around horses so we assumed the English version means something different than it probably did in the past when horses were common place.

There are rumors the original creators are making a new animated show about the next avatar in the cycle who is an earth bender. More info is supposed to be released this year!

So not trying to argue, just have a genuine conversation. Talking from an American perspective, British implies the British Isles (place) to me and not the people (who I honestly have no idea when they lived or currently live there??). I'm not familiar with any other name for the isles (again speaking as an American).

Also, I think (or hope) that most people would understand and any research into the Iron Age is only showing a survival bias that may not indicate the whole population in an area. However, I think it's fair to state that if you see a trend across multiple sites in roughly the same time period, it indicates a larger cultural practice in that area because we are only seeing a small amount of surving evidence. For this reason, I think "some" is too broad.

It shouldn't say "Some", it should say "British" because if you read the article this seems to be a trend across British iron age communities.

As an old person who plays Genshin Impact, the "character banners" are 100% loot boxes. They have a pity system which guarantees a five star character after 100 "wishes" but even then it may not be the character you wanted. You might have to "wish" up to 200 times to get the five star character you are "wishing" for on the banner. Since you are not buying the character out right and gambling to get them it's a loot box.

For anyone who doesn't play "character banners" are a limited run (3 weeks) of a five star character that you can only get from the banner. "Wishes" are like rolls for the character. Each wish you lose gives you either a weapon (3 star/practically useless in game) and every 10 wishes gurantees a four star weapon or four star character.

I was about to roll my eyes and scroll past your comment but then I read "powdered wig". I was committed to read it all when I saw "smoothbore". The "tally ho lads" was hilarious. Great job all the way through!

I did it with a feather, two eggs, and a barrel of molasses.

I jokingly accuse my partner of stealing my glasses when I lose them. I just put them down in random places and am then too blind to find them again. A few days ago I told my partner I lost my glasses and he blamed ME for stealing my own glasses!! How can I steal my own glasses??

Oh really? Parts of Texas had a big influx of German immigrants in the 1800s. I wonder if that's why the pronunciation is similar to German?

I grew up in FL and had a "pet" opossum for a while. Her mom was hit by car when she was a baby and she crawled up to our front door during a rain storm. My mom was heart broken when she realized what happened so she let us keep her till she was old enough to be released. She was super cuddly and would crawl up on your neck and lick your hair. We partially potty trained her using dog pee pads. The only down side is she liked to borough in our couch so we had to move the couch often and clean it out.

Once she was an adult we would let her out at night when other opossums in the neighborhood were around. She usually came back in the morning and would eat a bunch of food. One day she didn't come back so I hope she integrated with the local opossums and lived a happy life.
