I realize it’s mainstream (hah!) in some areas, but not in Indiana
-
Causes or contributes to many other problems – pollution, high unemployment rate, war over scarce resources, etc.
-
An off-the-wall answer, but think about how much more text and artwork you get for so much less with a newspaper, for example

Definitely would be misspelled less if it were pronounced “dee-FIGH-NITE-ly”

At the very least, shouldn’t be sufficient cause on its own for a cop to pull you over

You are correct on 10. If you bought a ticket and find you can not use it, you should be allowed to sell it. It is not any business of the law.
Just curious – where are you? This spelling is incorrect in the USA, but standard in Britain.

I had to do the math for #5. 20% commercials leaves 24 minutes out of 30 (or 48 out of 60) of actual show, which I can live with.

- Okay, it’s just my pet peeve today, but my 17 year old just told me that I probably wouldn’t have been a good English teacher (I teach math), because she can’t trust me to edit her papers. I use too many commas and do other “weird things”. So she only relies on me for spelling (which she’s horrid at). Well I wouldn’t do weird things if the rules hadn’t changed since I was in school!
:smack: that’s what I get for speed reading and having a sun-fried brain
