@BrittanyMeansIt I derived similar joy from calling the vet and when they asked my cat's name I’d say “boobs” and they’d ask me to spell it because surely I didn’t mean “boobs” like *boobs* did I? Well yes, I did. He’s gone now but it was never not funny while it lasted

@Joyce_Karam I find the set up of someone standing half behind him talking to him really weird. it gives him the chance to do what he’s doing, just nodding his head with his eyes closed as if he’s in a meeting about bus timetables or something.

@RoboticoEl I feel you. I put buttons/pins on my bag, but on their own they’re prone to falling off. So I superglue them on. I usually end up with at least 4 fingers glued together and bits of kitchen towel stuck to the rest of them. glue is finicky and gets everywhere! Bag looks great tho!

@adamhewitt198 @Mantia @sacralised @lynneguist it is now. dictionaries describe, they don’t prescribe (or maybe more accurately, they should and shouldn’t.) if a formation gets wide enough traction to be generally understood, it, well, doesn’t necessarily stop being wrong, but does become accepted use.
