If apples and potaoes are different then why do the French call them pommes de terre?

Big Yud was homeschooled after biting a maths teacher.

There were enough red flags, but I should have seen more of them tbh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

That's just another reason why homeschooling is a bad idea.
