  2. You clearly know how to use your Shift key, as you capitalized "OpenAI" *and* "Google" in the middle of your sentence, but somehow you "forgot" how to do so at the *beginning* of all your sentences? Each and every one? I don't think so... you lazy shit.

    Capitalization is important for clarity of communication. It's not there to steal your precious life away by making you hit an extra key. Oh my gawd, the EFFORT required! The TIME invested! How *DARE* I?

    And don't *even* try to tell me it's a "style".

    It really depends on the meaning you give to *Sovereignty*. In the truest sense of the word Australian #sovereignty is analogous to *autonomy* and *self-determination* in terms of its #Statehood. It is fully exercised as long as we’re not invaded and completely subsumed under foreign **rules** and **social systems** — as in: our govt(s) and our institutions (Constitutions) no longer exist to serve us.

    Half-functional, or even non-functional military assets (peacetime or in action, as they tend to do anyway) do not diminish sovereignty in their own rights, though general military capability attrition followed by military defeat will.

    Sovereignty cannot mean buying equipment that we fully control. Because for one, there’s no such thing (I could expand but it would take too many words - think software we buy, or the EV we drive), and second, there is non sense of *self-determination* intrisic to a piece of equipment we operate.

    I think we are misusing the word to mean other things which we do not fully articulate. Isn’t #English a wonderful language?

  17. Interesting. So Suella Braverman doesn't think Winston Churchill (American mother) was "truly English"?

  18. I remember when I was younger I used to watch the newer version of Carmen San Diego. Whenever I was finished my internal monologue would have a very French accent just like Inspector Devineaux.
    Anyways, now I have an old timey upstate New Yorker in my head because of Holden Cauffield.

  19. CW: question for native English speakers, please answer honestly, no need to overthink it

    please answer what comes to mind, don't overthink it or try to overcomplicate things. just answer what you think.
    what is the difference in pronunciation between can and can't? when you say them or when you hear them, what makes one word different from the other?
    i'll explain why i'm asking this after i get a few answers, though i suspect some of you are enough of a nerd to know what's going on.

  21. #English: “However” vs. “nevertheless”—the latter is more formal and (roughly):
    • however = but
    • nevertheless = in spite of that

  22. "Jumper" is one of those words that differs between US English & elsewhere. The US equivalent is "sweater." This always made sense to me as a garment to make one sweat (stay warm). The closest thing in US English is "jumpsuit," which is a full-body garment. I always wondered where this usage of jumper came from. Get your fill, language geeks.
