Whoops, that should be llevando, not llegando.

Being socially awkward in that way is creepy at any age. I’ve met plenty of creeps my age that have said disgusting things to me/other people.

In Spanish, the conjugation of the verb lets you drop the subject, which is eloquent.

“¿Qué haces?”

“Estoy ~~llegando~~ llevando comida.”

Compression of the sentence “are you going to be there” into “y’gon be de’” is better than most compression algorithms can do.

I don’t care if people say “chomping at the bit”, because it basically means the same thing as “champing at the bit”, and nobody uses the word champing anymore anyway.

If you can replace the word with “he”, you always use who. If you can replace the word with “him”, you can use whom if you want to.

Whom did you lead into battle?

I led him into battle.

Who ate all the cake?

He ate all the cake.

The key takeaway is you can always use who and it will be correct, because who is both a subject and an object. So, if you don’t want to bother with the rule, just stick to who and you can’t go wrong.

I’ve started using “used to could” instead of “used to be able to”, and I will not stop.

It’s more egregious to me that if you properly implement the Office Open XML [sic] formats, it won’t work with MS Office, because they don’t follow their own specs.

Microsoft Office 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021 and Microsoft 365 continue to read and write files that are conformant to ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional by default. Microsoft Office 2013 and later fully support ISO/IEC 29500 Strict,[73]but do not use it as the default file format because of backwards compatibility concerns.[74]

That fully depends on the animal. Humans are animals, and suckling a human breast is socially acceptable. Maybe not while they’re lactating, but I’m not one to judge.

That’s when you accidentally milk a bull.

Easier solution: take off your damned metal necklace.
