Or put the "customers" at the start of the sentence.

So -- "Customers, we are now approaching Leeds where this train terminates"

I mean you could literally arrange the words ANY other way and it would be better.

Just put a comma between the "terminates" and the "customers"

(smirk)

Maybe later. Right now I am bursting into "loathing" from Wicked on another thread, so -- you know -- I'll have to get back to you :)

are you just begging me to correct that? Because when someone says "That's what you say" in the context of "the son of god" I just want to burst into the confrontation with Caiaphas. (Not that I know it all by heart -- that would just be worrying and not of the natural order).

To be fair -- it is about cats. It's not like it's about dogs. Or trains. Or horribly disfigured men who lurk under the Paris Opera House. Or the Son of God.

But a professional one.

Tumblr teaches me a lot about things I never knew that I needed to know. Not about English lit and so on (I had a surprisingly thorough education in that area), but the science side of tumblr taught me more than I would ever have thought possible.

Also quite a lot about how to interact with cats.

Or a commentary on the crappy education system in whatever country the commenter comes from.

If they aren't taught Shakespeare or ancient history it's possible they may not have learned about this event in history.

See this is where I said "context is king"

Because I assumed the quote meant that you don't have to respect the free will of all beings, especially those who make themselves an obstacle to a kinder world.

I think it is the ultimate version of loving yourself.

Or at the very least the ultimate version of showing yourself a lot of love.

I am not even sorry.

It's literally never occurred to me before.

There were plenty of times when a scene would be described as "We see the family on a normal Saturday night. Dad is sat in front of the TV, mum is sat at the table, doing a jigsaw. The kids are sat on the floor, playing a game"

That was the language I grew up with, and to use "sitting" instead of sat" would just have sounded weird.

I mean -- "the family is sitting down to dinner", sure -- that sounds normal because it is something they are doing. But if it is passive speech (so to speak) then why would anyone use "sitting"? It's just weird.
