Microsoft, Xbox, and Spencer have dominated the news carousel this week, drawing enormous criticism from the gaming community following the announced closures of Redfall creators Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, who developed the critically acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush.

“Has been”, “is escalating”

The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Kennedy said in the deposition.

Or fatal food poisoning.

Your honor I demand a mistrial due my client’s ineffective counsel!

To me, “log in” can only be used ~~verbally~~ as a verbal phrase, but “login” could be used as a noun or verb. Though I still wouldn’t say, “As a lumberjack, I login the woods up north”

Vhile ve are at it, Chadus, let’s get rid of the letter u as vell. It is redicvlovs to have so many letters to keep track of vhen a covple can do dovble dvty as consonants and vovels alike, as the letter y does. Actualli, let’s do avai vith “y.” And “j” too for simpliciti. “I” mai vork iust as vell in both iobs.

To be fair, it is a knock off of Righteous Roughage & Virtuous Vegetables

I hate that punctuation is “supposed” to go inside quotation marks. If you doing anything more complex than a simple statement of a quote, you run into cases where it doesn’t make sense to me.

Did he say “I had pancakes for supper?” and Did he say “I had pancakes for supper”? mean different things to me.

Similarly: That jerk called me a “tomato!” and That jerk called me a “tomato”!

It feels to me that the first examples add emphasis to the quotes that did not exist when originally spoken, whereas the second examples isolate the quote, which is the whole point of putting it in quotation marks.

Ah. My favorite Henry Ford quote:

The taxonomist can have the name in any language they want, so long as it is Latin.

A vanilla soy latte is not a 3 bean soup! There is only one bean actually in the soup. Unless you are scraping the vanilla pod into it and sprinkling grounds on top, the other two “beans” are merely extracts.

It is a vegan bisque.
