I wouldn't recommend that. You'd probably catch something weird.

CSAM stands for Child Sexual Abuse Material (child porn under its old moniker).

I'm going to assume you didn't know what the acronym meant because saying "just block them I don't see the problem" to CSAM posts is very idiotic.

That math ain't mathing.

Assuming a "long drive" is at least 200 miles and most of the trip is on a highway without a lot of slow spots, you should save much more than 20 minutes a year regularly going 15 mph over.

With a lower highway speed limit of 60 mph, going 15 over will put you at 75 mph. In an hour, you're 15 miles further down the road going 75 than 60 and it will take you 15 more minutes going 60 to get to that same spot.

Specific conditions will change the numbers, obviously. I'd consider both a few hundred mile drive and driving through NYC during rush hour to be long drives and they'll have vastly different stats. By all means leave earlier but that Speedr app seems like it's mathing wrong.

Counterpoint: Gift

Literally has gif in it and is pronounced with a hard 'g'.

And as such, they get the tax deduction.

This part, at least, is not correct. (explanation at apnews.com, alternate snopes link)

Do you have any examples of words changed by adding a consonant? Additional vowels in words, such as your examples, usually change how a word is pronounced

Also, your attack in the second paragraph is unneeded and contributes nothing to the debate. If an argument cannot be based on logic alone, I ask that you do not make it.

Having links to back up your claims would go a long way to convincing people. Otherwise your words are just you yelling at clouds and hoping somebody will listen.

Your asterisk example is correct. For those less fluent: The "ch" in "chore" is the same as in "choice" and the "ch" in "chasm" is the same as "chord".

Which is yet another example that english is really just three languages in a trench coat that mugs other languages in dark alleys for spare syntax.

Can I be Paul, instead?

Don't use the contact form or send an email. Call them. Even better, show up in person if possible. The contact form can be filled out from anywhere by anything, same as sending an email. Calling at least lets them know an actual person, likely a local voter, holds the views expressed and is more memorable and harder to ignore. Showing up in person even more so.

Just because somebody who made a word wants to pronounce it a certain way doesn't mean that's others will pronounce it.

Heck, look at the at history of the word tomato. Came from the native Nahuatl word tomatl, which was changed to tomate for Spanish and then tomato for English. The British are closer to both the native Nahuatl and Spanish pronunciations of the word but few Americans will say it as "tuh-maa-tow".

I'm not who you replied to but I have a similar view.

For me, it's not "you didn't vote, so you support Trump", it's "you didn't vote, which says you were fine with any of the available candidates, how they presented themselves, and their plans for this nation. You were fine with any of them being President." Anybody who was fine with Trump being President gets criticism from me.

Hell, I give more credit to somebody who put a write-in vote for "my cat: Sir Fluffykins, esq. III" because at least that person would make their voice heard that no candidate was acceptable.

Why are you against Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion in the hiring process?

Not 20 years ago but Whip My Hair by Willow Smith came out in 2011, so about 15 years ago depending on the month.

While technically correct that the election is less than two weeks away, I think it's important to know that Election Day is this upcoming Tuesday.

I acknowledge that you fulfilled my request but personally remain unconvinced using those examples. Tom is generally a nickname for Thomas and borrows pronunciation from that.

However I did remember the words kin and kind but there's also tin and tint. So I'm just going to declare English overall as highly inconsistent and silly, will still pronounce gif with a hard g, but recognize that you have a different point of view. 🙂

Sir, this is a Wendy's.
