I prefer one L in traveling. There's an unstressed shwa sound and it makes no sense to double the consonant after. It almost implies the stress falls on the vell part.

They were. I remember going to a shop with my father to spend his checks before the banks phased them out. Even I had a checkbook that came with my children's bank account.
I think the phasing out happened in the 90s but apparently banks still accepted checks until 2021.
If you've lived through covid, you would have seen that people just don't give a fuck about sick and old people.
I'm not in the Netherlands. Where I live, potatoes were 1.20 eur per kilo last year so I don't buy it. Normal price should be 40 cents.
I go almost every day. It's a good reason to get out and go for a walk.
What I buy mostly depends on prices/discounts. And only what I can carry in my backpack. Potatoes when affordable, otherwise rice; frozen veggies, ham/cheese, bubbly water, beer.
I've never understood why Americans want to come over and tell us it's "racist" to dress up as a character that happens to look too much like an African in their eyes
When a lake or river has this color, we call it blue

And now we have a whole industry of people flying around the world to get wasted every day (🇬🇧)
I don't know how common it is, but when I grew up, being smart was basically an insult. Not being posh, but any sign of smartness. I was already a quiet kid, which made me a target (because quiet people are smart? My grades surely disagreed), using "difficult" vocabulary is definitely something you had to avoid; kids better not find out you have "smart" interests like computers or reading or something or you'd be ridiculed.
Maybe people carry their hate with them in adulthood but just don't show it so much (until it's time to vote 🙂)
Het was de enige dag in het jaar dat alle buren buiten kwamen en het wat gezellig was in de straat. Er waren altijd wel mensen die er flink in investeerden en wij hadden allemaal wel wat klein vuurwerk. Het lijkt me maar triest, een oud en nieuw zonder vuurwerk.
