... the ungrammatical use of ātheyā to indicate one or persons of any sex is stupid.

Lazy for sure. I absolutely know better and the people who I typically communicate with also know that I know better. I take advantage of that and use ‘their’ when I just don’t feel like spelling out “his or her”. I’ll take myself out to the woodshed. I don’t find that nearly as irritating as people who use the word “that”, instead of “who”, after any word that refers to a human - “the man that came to the door”, instead of “the man who came to the door”; “My husband is the one that does most of the cooking.” instead of “My husband is the one who does most of the cooking.”.

I concur. Demonstrates how well they have co-opted the language. They are good at what they do.
Very true.
Yes, we are all becoming so impatient and cranky. I am not the only one, I am sure, that sounds like the kid in the back seat asking, “Dad, when are we gonna be there?”
I am pretty sure it is a crow. And they do bring things to people.

That reminds me of a George Orwell quote, let me find it....
“There is no swifter route to the corruption of thought than through the corruption of language.”
I’ve used s-he-it, and recommend saying it fast.
āWe are living in biblical timesā ?
which bible ? which version ? which times - old testament ? revelations - Armageddon\end times ?
A halo lightening strike in nyc is biblical ?
a lightening strike in D.C. is biblical ?
a Giuliani revelation on a pay for play scheme is biblical ? was the revelation done ? If so, where is the fallout ?
Godfather III is biblical ? is pope Francis to be assassinated ?
Q drop 4541 (Q trip code but no Q signature) can open a whole can of worms in a discussion. Religious circles is noted.
Was any of this discussed at the time of the drops?
No i wont go back and look.
I probably should have posted this and ask that the prior related posts be sent to festival.
People are getting tightly wound. Q followers have a big advantage.
āIāve used s-he-it, and recommend saying it fast.ā
No s-he-it?
Idomatic usage definition, as in the video clip Q posted several times:
https://answerdatabase.org/what-does-it-mean-when-someone-says-its-going-to-be-biblical/
lot of crazy disasters happened in the bible. like the big flood and the 10 plagues of Egypt. so when someone says something is going to be biblical they mean its going to be huge and probably devistating. thatās what gerard butler meant in the movie, he was going to mess stuff up
When something is referenced in this way it means that it is going to be big, its going to be huge.
Everything in the Bible was huge ā¦ the flood where Noah had to build his ark, for example.
Excellent news.
As in, “No s-he-it, Sherlock”.
:-D
āAs in, āNo s-he-it, Sherlockā.ā
Indeed.
