Octopi aren’t fish.

Do you mean collective nouns ?

Or just “generic groups”, as in animal, plant, rock, fungi, lichen ?

Maybe group words that aren’t as specific as collective nouns and not as generic as groups:

  • canine
  • marsupial
  • mammal
  • primates
  • carnivores
  • vertebrates
  • reptiles
  • birds

Does that help?

Depends on the number of kids and how old. I’ve never had a problem with it.

It might or might not:

  • arrive
  • work
  • be genuine
  • be fit for purpose

You Are a Tourist - Death Cab for Cutie

remote work involves a previously unthinkable change in the way productive activity is structured and organised. If workers can do without the physical presence of managers, perhaps they don’t need managers at all

There it is. They want workers back in the office so that managers have some way of justifying their existence.

Neil Diamond, of all people, has a version, which you might or might not like.

Like anything else, the more you practice, the better you get. I remember how much anxiety and stress I had when I was learning; now I don’t even think about it.

Could you get a friend or relative to take you out to a quiet area to get more practice away from traffic and other road users? Then slowly build up to more stressful situations. I was taking my kids a few times a week around the quieter back streets, round and round and round, until they got their confidence up, then we went out to small roads with traffic, and built up until they were driving on busy main roads and freeways.

Here in Australia, you can choose to get an automatic-only license and not have to learn manual. Is that an option where you are?

Do people still use Chrome ?

(Not in response to the previous post; it’s an honest weird coincidence)

 
 

Is it “Camel-uh” or “Cam-ahl-uh”?

When I switch applications on iPad, and switch back to Firefox, it opens a new blank tab every time. But doesn’t happen on iPhone. Settings are the same on both devices.

Has anyone else seen this?

Firefox 123.1

iOS 17.3.1
iPad mini 5
iPhone 13 mini
