I get it. Use the second-to-the-last letter in each word -- kind of...

@Maristya No its not. A Lettice is any species of lettuce where the cells are arranged in a lattice. Not to be confused a Lattuce, which is anytime you have many heads of lettuce arranged in a lattice!

I was really depressed for the last two days because I left my ring on the lawn and the crows stole it BC shiny. It's irreplaceable and Akkas gave it to me two years ago so I was devastated. I dredged the pond and used a metal detector all over the lawn but it was gone. But today I cooked the crows bacon in the morning and this afternoon it was returned RIGHT WHERE I LEFT THE BACON!!!!!

Are cloaks considered cool again yet. Its really the only fashion trend i keep cheering for a comeback.

Here is a neat little trick to help you remeber the names of the five great lakes.

I imagine how he started the conversation...
"Mom, if you keep working as a nurse I will never be able to afford a proper gaming rig.
You know... My friends think you're quite sexy. Wouldn't it be better to get some good money by shaking your tits for them?"

Apparently using they as a singular pronoun (to use instead of he and she) is hardly a new phenomenon. It dates back to 1375 in written records!

In fact, singular you is much more recent! Dating back to the 17th century! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh, this quote’s fun, and it shows that our gender-related issues has been going on for centuries:

In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no โ€˜honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.โ€™ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because โ€˜we wished to conceal the gender,โ€™ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much.

I’d say it’s probably safe to use they in general. I do use singular they regularly and it’s the least fuss imo.

Maybe something is not right ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ˜œ

@stux did they open the dutch borders yet? I think I can slip off for a visit soon and we can have that beer

Looks like in about a month I will officially be in charge of running an entire company that is publicly traded.. Will be weird running a company on the stock exchange but I'm up for the challenge,

I was worried about leaving an open standard, saying my org was changing wso2 for tyk -- I was mistaking wso2, a monolith mostly-opensource service, for oauth2, the standard. Tyk is actually more open-source than wso2, built on Go, and designed for performance and open-source extensibility. I am excited to switch to Tyk.

My organization seems intent on abandoning anything related to open standards. They are dropping WSO2 for something called Tyk. How worried should ...
