I dated a girl who had been raised by a single mother, one sister no brothers, then she went to an all-girl’s college. At 25, I was her first boyfriend. I’m not sure I convinced her we’re the same species. A 5’7" 200 pound man dating a 5’1" 110 pound woman, I was almost twice her size and casually lifted or moved things she utterly couldn’t. She very nearly screamed the first time I picked her up.

I’m not “trying” anything. I’ve encountered a lot of websites with Choose Your Language dropdowns where English is represented by Old Glory and not the Union Jack.
I was specifically referring to this which proposed many of the changes you’re talking about, but very few were actually adopted.
The Voice Of America has a standardized Simplified English they use for broadcasting to regions where English isn’t commonly spoken.
There was also that attempt at destupifying English spelling, a very small amount of which stuck. Color.
Nothing. I’ve heard it used occasionally for decades.

Reminds me of Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey. “Dude! Hell sucks!”
I kinda miss Pontiac. For my entire lifetime, they were “What if GM products were just a little more ridiculous?”
The Trans Am is a Z-28 with mutton chops. Prove me wrong.
Untitled Goose Car.
I have an old Roku 3 that is, basically, a Raspberry Pi. Like, if you could swap out the OS it could do Raspberry Pi like things.
I give Minnesota permission to annex one county from any surrounding state. Which is it?
Don’t (at least some) frogs use their eyes to swallow anyway? Like, when they close their eyes they get sucked into their head, which decreases the volume of the mouth, which pushes food into the throat?
I was actually taught how to use spreadsheets in Microsoft Works. Which was the cheaper home alternative to the Office suite, that was good enough to run a small business out of.
I think on the Slate, the only part of the frame that is exposed as outer body are the A pillars. Everything else is a panel that bolts on.
My understanding is the Slate is kind of body-around-frame.
Not exactly a ladder chassis but I don’t know if you can call it a unibody.
Repraps were controlled with Arduino Megas for a very long time. Up until the MK4 series, Prusa’s Rambo or Einsy boards still ran on the ATMEGA2560 microcontroller.
All of this work is done.
The floor is made of lawn.
Mouse figured that out but Switch was a wet blanket.
Man, I went to a coffee shop with a girl once. This coffee shop sat maybe 24 people, okay? It’s a shallow, wide building. There’s the counter with two baristas working, in front of the counter along the front wall of the building are those narrow “table for two” booths, like 2 or 3 of them. Both the counter and those booths run to the right wall of the building. To the left is a small more open area with maybe 4 four-seat tables.
There was this guy. This male homo sapiens. Who brought an acoustic-electric guitar. A microphone. And two, count them in the eyes of sweet zombie Jesus TWO. 60+ watt amplifiers. Because this was the artistic opportunity of this existing organism’s life. This creature, this placental mammal, was going to REACH his audience on this night. Through all the noise of a commercial AC unit and the single digit number of people that I ever saw in the building, his Green Day covers would be HEARD!
That happened during the winter of 2011. My headcanon is that guy wheezed to death of covid on one of those 3D printed ventilators they tried to get me to help make. I didn’t do those, I did the 3-ring binder slip cover face mask visors.
