To answer the question: The professor assumes the email referred to 1900-1910 with "late 1900s". As this was normal 20 years ago (and still gets used). He then gets upset realising the age difference between him and his student was likely the main contributor to this incorrect assumption.

To ask a question back: From https://www.bucknell.edu/fac-staff/john-penniman, I read:

John Penniman is Associate Professor and chair of Religious Studies

I would say for religious studies it should be fine. But also for other areas, why can't you use 1994 papers?

This will break posts where the author intends to format the title in large letters

Even then I think this might be a good solution. This prevents users abusing this to get attention. I don't see a legitimate reason the receiver would like some titles to be larger than others

Rust as well? In what way? (Genuinely interested, just don't know much about that community)

A pocket-square size device that you attach to your upper body clothing and are able to talk to like ChatGPT while it sees what you are seeing. The goal was to integrate with your other apps, but that never took off afaik.

To clarify a lot of confusion I see in the comments. This book considers a country to be invaded when:

  • At any point during the history of England, Whales, northern Ireland, Scotland, and or significant predecessors any army of theirs "invaded",

  • Counting any part of the land that is now considered part of the UN country. So not only from when the country existed,

  • And being invaded meaning they had some control over, or fought conflicts in the territory.

Weird to exclude Luxembourg from that as they were also occupied by Germany and freed by the Allied forces

Edit: checked the book and:

  • Netherlands, The: it counts the Battle of the Sluys and other various navel battles fought on Dutch territory as valid examples
  • Belgium: it counts the battles that were fought on the land that is now Belgium, so not counting from its creation. It also counts assisting the local people, so for example fighting off the French in defense together with the Flemish

So the book is taking "invasion" more lenient than the comment section:

  • The act of invading, especially the entrance of an armed force into a territory to conquer.

The introduction also states "invasion, had some control over, or fought conflicts in the territory"
