It's becoming more common in English for people to say "whenever" when it should just be "when." It's like nails on a chalkboard when I hear it used wrong like that

"of" in place of "have" certainly had to come from people mishearing/misunderstanding "ve." There's no other explanation.

The accident one is funny. I had to really think about when I'd use "on", and it's when I say something like: "he did it on accident." Which is wrong when I think about it, but I know I've said this countless times. I can only guess it grew from "an accident" like "it was an accident."

Even though "on"and "by" are the same length, "by" sounds like it takes too much effort to say. How weird.

No, no, they're wincing and recovering and holding the spot they got hit at while being disoriented.

I'm on a hovercraft to Paris with my former best friend. We have to get to the cinematheque. We're not alone, but no one speaks english so we're free to look into each other's minds and see what we're thinking like we always used to. I miss talking to you.

God, I would love that. I can't sleep sitting up, even when I'm really tired. Long plane rides are torture.

And I can't even remember the last time a crime was committed with a made-at-home gun. We're really going after the people that commit all the violence. 🙄

It's such an easy window into the fact that it's about cutting the access to weapons of the population who might use them to fight back against government action. They dgaf if we murder each other, they just don't want us murdering them.

Best: flexible start/end times, not much drama.

Worst: material counts. I hate material counts.

I'm in AZ, USA, and I like it. Everyone outside of AZ is freaking out about the weather, but I enjoy it. I'm much more comfortable in the dry heat than I am in 75°f with humidity.

Anyway, I like that we're a pro-abortion state and a pro-gun state. I like that there's a lot of thought diversity here and less anger in general.

I feel good here

Uh. Yeah, but you have to drink like 12 cups of tea to get to one cup of similar caffeine in coffee.

So, it's actually cheaper to make coffee at home.

Plus, anyone who has traveled in South Asia or South America knows that Germany is much, much more safe to drive in than most of the rest of the world.
