2 units (in this case houses) down and 2 across (a perhaps intentional misinterpretation of the original slightly ambiguous statement). Reasonable to assume down and across are perpendicular directions. Let's pretend space-time is Euclidean. How far away is the listener from the sneeze? Pythagoras, our faithful companion, guides our understanding...√(2²+2²)=√8=2√2

It's my favourite format. I think the original was 'stop doing math'

Your second sentence does not follow logically from your first though. A randomly selected male might be half as likely as a randomly selected woman to be a victim of domestic violence, but what a man in the far smaller set of people who have googled that particular phrase? I would venture to say the ratio might be a lot closer

This is a miscommunication, you two are not really in disagreement as far as I can see. If someone {presents as an effeminate man} AND {they say they're non-binary} => {they are non-binary}. However if someone {presents as an effeminate man} AND does NOT {say they're non-binary}...... Then it's not sufficient.

That is the more common modern usage. I believe 'factoid' was originally used to mean a pseudo fact, or falsehood presented as a fact, but that usage is rarely found today.

AFAIK, those 'fleece' type materials are directly made from recycled PET (like water bottles).

I strongly agree with this comment.

You could as easily say it's increased by 2800% (correct me if I'm wrong) since then, which sends the opposite message, but neither are good ways of showing what's really going on...

I think part of the problem is that alcohol itself tastes bitter. So I guess look for quite a low-alcohol beer, maybe a fruity one with not much hops...
