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!

Edit: typos

"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.
