I have a degree in linguistics and can therefore tell you that this "debate me" fella is talking bollocks.
There has been a really bizarre outpouring of sympathy/defence in some quarters for Paul Doyle, who deliberately drove his car into hundreds of people, causing horrific trauma and injuries. This person says that he knows more than Doyle’s own lawyers because he happens to have a degree.

Trying to work out if a secondary camera exists that will let me do pre-match photography but still be allowed to come into the stadium with me (so that I can, you know, feasibly have it on me before the match - apparently anything 'large bodied' is verboten even if it stays in bag) and...argh

A lady complimented me on my cool sweater, which would have been nice had her enormous dog not been doing a commensurately enormous poo at the time.

Person next to me at bus stop: "Dunno what that shop is. Uniqlo. Never 'eard of it. It's for youngsters?'
Fighting urge to tell them husband - a man who thought the Tesco staff only knew the words to Call Me Maybe because "they must play it a lot in there" relies on it for his outfitting needs.

Unhinged behaviour is usually, by its very nature, shocking and surprising, but when mad shit like this happens every day it gets so fucking BORING. Indescribably, eye-rolling tedious.

When Charlie Kirk, a commentator who stirred up hatred and prejudice was killed, the Trump government led a purge against anyone who commented on it in a way they didn’t like. When a beloved director & actor is brutally murdered, Trump mocks and criticises him just hours later. Revolting hypocrisy.

Just seen a thing I am considering buying - but pondering over heavily as I'm not convinced I can really justify the expense - is enormously cheaper on a US website....until I see how much gets added on for VAT for us in the UK. Could I wait three years?
