Just realized that #EasyChair has basically abandoned its free plan (only available for up to 20 submissions, which is ridiculous). Do you know any free (ideally open-source) alternatives? #followerpower

In this idiom, “have” is synonymous with “ate”, like “I had eggs for breakfast.” So the expression means, you can’t eat the same thing twice.
You use semi-colons in lists when one or more of the phrases in the list itself contains a comma. So this mother’s use of semi-colons, while showing character, is grammatically wrong.

A semi-colon is grammatically identical to a period, so what appears on either side must work as a complete sentence. You use one instead of a period when the ideas of each sentence are closely linked.

Filmed 4 months after we wrapped principal photography on #ESB, it wasn't a "re-shoot", it was an added scene. Concerned about the downbeat ending & thorough defeat of the protagonists, they wanted to add an uplifting moment of hope & rejuvenation to reassure the audience.
Replying to @agraphafx
We could inquire to @HamillHimself about it. Mark, did you guys re-shoot the Medical Bay scene at the end of Empire after principal photography had already wrapped?

Today Living Languages commemorates Sorry Day. A day when Australians demonstrate their regret for the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the injustices of the Stolen Generation, and acknowledge both the past grief and the ongoing trauma.

Crowdsourcing question! What are the ubiquitous channels that show up over and over again in various unrelated Slacks/Discords? Like, ever server eventually converges to having a pet pics and a food channel, what else?

My gf’s explanation of why “ok boomer” became a thing is spot on ✔️

“Nowadays” is hideous, in our opinion.
which words should be banned ? for instance, i think saying 'holibobs' should carry a severe punishment
