Would the dieresis be placed on top of the s in lineöfsight? Or would it be for vowels only?

Also, by your coöperative pronunciation example, people would be mispronouncing reëlect.

Don’t worry. That article was awful and the reporter is ignorant of how statistics work.

First of all, it’s not all men. It’s “all Australian men.” And second of all, it’s not 1 in 6. It’s probably more like 1 in 20. Still a high number, but not as high as the reporter makes it out to be.

The reporter ignored that the data can overlap.

Sort of like saying:

Pete would never let anyone slap him. Joe says he is willing to be slapped for $1000. He would also do it for $500. He would also do it for $200. Based on the above, THREE men out of four would be willing to be slapped for $1000 or less!!!

Get the fuck out, man.

Teenagers fuck each other all the time, consensually.

So there goes your argument about people younger than 18 being incapable of giving consent.

For the record, I’m in my 40s and I wouldn’t go out with anyone below the age of 30, before someone accuses me of anything I ain’t.

I hate predators as much as the next person, but let’s not go over to the other extreme.

Well thanks. TIL.

Having said that, “mentioning” is not inventing.

It would be cool if we had fat burning pizza. There you have it. I mentioned it first, so I invented it.

New Zealand entomologist George Hudson first proposed modern DST.

Easy to google, bud. Also, the concept is ancient.

Edit: downvoted by Russian agents.

70%

I would like to know how they reached to this number.

Because it surely isn’t out of all Americans.

Source: nobody polled me or my friends.

Edit: not all Americans, as you claimed in your comment. All voting Americans; and my claim still stands. Nobody asked me or my friends.

Edit 2: The same poll asked if Trump is a liar. Almost 70% said yes. Compared to almost 60% saying that Biden is a liar. I’m very suspicious of polls these days.

Edit 3: to be clear, I also believe that Trump is a liar. Just that the Biden numbers are suspiciously too high.
