Announcement: A new variant of my custom designed terminal font "Neoletters" is released on my website! As has been requested by many over the years, the new variant has more traditional-looking glyphs for 'a' and 'e' and variants thereof.

I have a question about this. In Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall, chapter 6, he says that on his way to war against the Caledonians, Severus "passed the walls of Hadrian and Antoninus". This was printed 1783, long before 1840.

I don't like this "here's how..." cliché. It's annoying and sounds vaguely ungrammatical. "This is how..." or just "How..." please.

Maybe instead of fifty-five thousand remakes of already great films we could - and stick with me here - adapt books that haven’t been given an adaptation before. Or write ✨ new ✨ characters and new stories.
Imagine that.

Looking forward to a reasonable reaction from the White House to the long-previewed news that Canada is changing prime ministers, based on even a basic understanding of Westminster systems and a vague awareness of Canadian news.

"This is very cute and charming and i bet someone who's into this kinda thing would really like it" is a positive review. So mark it down as one. Help the people who would really like it find it and do so. It's not hard and it costs nothing.
