Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. Good for him, though, he's trying.

Don't kid yourself--it will eventually become more like Twitter once the entire planet onboards. Decentralization will help a lot, though.

It's cute how you made it personal for no reason.

Funny enough I learned about it in a linguistics class from a professor out of Michigan. Never heard the concept before and I think a lot of people had their minds blown.

To go after a loose group of reporters from different countries?

They aren’t in the United States. This lawsuit is in France.

Dialect variation. For me, saying “the car needs washed” sounds truly strange but millions and millions of people say it. You’re experiencing similar with this phrase.

Haha thanks for making me laugh. If it helps, it took me years to recognize that Chipotle didn’t have the chipotle flavor Tabasco simply because it tastes good.

I agree that this is the lesson, but it's bolstered by decades of bad behavior by the previous generations who chose not to leave a livable world for their children.

Sorry, but that was a "kids these days" moment.

I would wonder if you felt the same about driving? I’m betting that part of it is that you don’t know how to react in a bind. That’s practice and training more than anything.

Try this: Go watch some kitchen safety how videos. Go by some boxed Mac and cheese. Make it, it’s foolproof.
Notice that everything turned out ok. Try it again a few times. Now go try something different that you might like.
