Also, for what it's worth, it feels a lot more natural with mixed genders here to me:

Steve gave Christina his phone

Right, in English you have to rephrase the sentence because the pronoun you need doesn't exist. There's just a pronoun for "male person" not one for "subject" or "object" of the sentence.

That's why I replied with it to a "what word would you make up?" Question, because that's what I would bring into English

The Americans I know outside the US (including me and my family) are devastated at the state of the US.

The Americans I know who still live there fully agree with my sentiments, but also are coping because they have to. Some of the cope is not reading news as much, not talking about it as often, shrugging and trying to just get by. It's not good long term but it helps get through things like this. I think that's actually part of the point from the fascists– make things so shitty you can't keep up the anger.

Having visited both and now living in Copenhagen, it could change your life to visit! Great places to be a tourist

In Danish we have two different words for the pronoun "his" (or equivalent). In English you say:

Tom gave Steve his phone.

Which person's phone is it? In Danish that would be clear depending if you used sit or hans

Same in Danish, overmorgen

Yeah that'd be Hamilton to Ferrari levels of silly season if he moved teams

Makes sense to try to make your drivers a bit fixed while the regs change so much, if possible.

I'm assuming a few people, like Russell, have a good chance of staying in the same seat

Danny Ric as the honorary American? Maybe with Yuki or Checo or Kmag? I doubt they're gonna go with a real rookie

You're welcome and I'm sorry to show you that.

So anyway that's a great example of why we moved from the US to Scandinavia (Hej fra Danmark)

Oh man this is great news for the sport.

Seb back when?
