He gives off a creepy sex pest vibe and when he was in his 30s there were rumours he was dating the then 16 year old Pixie Geldof.

I’m surprised nothing has come out about Noel Fielding and David Walliams to be honest.
I think it’s meant to be Johnson, but they’re pretty similar looking.
As I said ‘or prioritise keeping their properties filled’
The fact that the landlord is also getting an extra 1000 a month means they’ll be less incentivised to put up the price. Also market forces, it’d just take a couple of landlords to have some morals, or prioritise having their properties filled to keep prices down.
With the restaurant example market forces again. If the shitty big chain restaurant put up their prices and the nice local restaurant didn’t then suddenly they’ll see more people going to them. It would also make it really easy for shitty chain B to undercut shitty chain A.
Then you also have the backup of government regulations and using tax systems to make it not viable to price gouge that way.
It’s the same as people using the example of the Y2K bug being a non event. Yeah, because globally trillions of dollars were spent fixing it before it became an event.
Pictures you can hear.
It’s likely you’re not from the right country.
Here’s any that’s very likely as geographic as it is from a specific time.
Daddy or chips?
Can they sue him for slander?
It was more for an unknown individual than a known one, but extending it the way it has been is a very natural progression
So an example where you don’t know the individual would be
Somebody left their umbrella in the office. Could you please let them know where they can get it?
The more modern extended usage that people seem so up in arms about would be
Kate left their umbrella in the office. Could you please let them know where they can get it?
Apothecary might be better.
To be honest you might get away with moving the term chemistry forward a couple of decades
Beginning around 1720, a rigid distinction began to be drawn for the first time between “alchemy” and “chemistry”.[104][105] By the 1740s, “alchemy” was now restricted to the realm of gold making, leading to the popular belief that alchemists were charlatans, and the tradition itself nothing more than a fraud.[102][105]
I work with a number of shops (all belonging to one family) to try to make sure that we send enough stock from the company’s warehouse to them.
Yeah I’d say that’s a simple one .
Always say “they”. This violates the grammar of English so deeply that it feels terribly wrong. It also results frequently in confusing expressions in which the referent of “they” is unclear.
I totally disagree with this. Singular they has been in use since the 14th century or so. It’s so deeply ingrained in the language that is perfectly simple to understand. In fact I’d say that people who claim to not understand it are doing so intentionally.
Perhaps a new word will develop naturally as you say. But personally I don’t see a need for it.
What would you say are better? I find singular they much more elegant than a lot of the new words that were made up. The fact that to apply it to a known individual, rather than an unknown individual seems like a natural extension of the usage that has existed for centuries.
It’s not though. Singular they goes back to middle English (14th century) it was just grammar Nazis in the 18th century that tried to stamp it out.
If you live in my building it’s fine for me to use your data. Err I’m not sure that’s how GDPR works. But give it a go there chap.
