You’re not wrong. But I picture this dial to snap between two settings. Like ones that are used for on/off switches. Not like a continuous potentiometer type.

The point of the dial is there is no middle ground. You either take it quietly or you’re a troublemaker.

It actually was a pretty rapid switch where all the CRTs disappeared

Nineteen oh one

But “two thousand and one” is different since it’s a millienium. I would also say “one thousand and one”, not “ten oh one”

I agree,

2009 and before have to be “two thousand and” style

2013 and after have to be “twenty-” style

The years between can be either, but I’d lean toward using “twenty-” style for those too.

Scott Weiland was compelled to write the lyrics after an incident in which a girl he was dating was raped by three high school football players after a party. Thus, Weiland has stated the song is an anti-rape statement, not a song simply about sex, saying: “This song is really not about sex at all. It’s about control, violence and abuse of power.”

Weiland found himself in the position of defending “Sex Type Thing” to individuals who took the first-person approach he used in the song (“I am a man, a man/I’ll give ya something that ya won’t forget/I said ya shouldn’t have worn that dress”) literally. "It was, ‘All right, the “Cop Killer” controversy’s dead, let’s try to find something else,’ " says Weiland, who has been outspoken in the press about women’s rights and contends that he wrote the song in the mind-set of what he has called “the typical American macho jerk” because he didn’t want to sound peachy. “I never thought that people would ever seriously think that I was an advocate of date rape.”

Only for plural nouns, IMO.

Josh is a child and bears no responsibility for any sexual encounters

Linking to the source seems more boomerish than screenshotting to me. Boomers don’t know how to screenshot, and it’s more cumbersome to have to go to a new site.

Read the other comments in this thread for why it doesn’t work like that

I don’t think hitting more gas is going to gently slide the 300 pound buck under my car. It’s just going to increase the impact force.

This sounds made up

I respect the struggle you went thru and your choices for yourself. As someone who dealt with alcoholism you were exposed to the worst of it. However, some of us like to enjoy life and get a buzz on without hurting anyone and I don’t think that’s abusive.

There’s abuse, and then there’s taking the edge off

Correct: confused or perplexed

Incorrect: amused

Is it really confusing? You know what they mean

To save you a click:

“When I hear Donald Trump talk … he’s very quick to say to Kamala, ‘Well, you were vice president for four years.’ Dude, you were president for four years! As I recall, you were up there in the Oval Office!"

I think it’s valid to feel this way. Even so, it’s impossible to stop the progress of time. You just have to find a way to balance this in your life. You don’t have to stay up to date in everything, either.
