Of course English is malleable!  If you don’t think so, read some Shakespeare.  Or better yet, some Chaucer.  And, since you like to pick nits, that’s “another”, not “an other”.

The CFL (actually a pretty good game, don’t laugh) allows challenges of just about any play. That seems to work pretty well there. Here is a good article on their procedure. Note, however, since the publication of that article the CFL rules have been changed to allow ONE challenge per game. I don’t think I’d put on…

So Boras laments the non-competitiveness of baseball.  He then wants to fix it by letting the Yankees and Dodgers buy up all his talent.  This enhances competition how?

Ally Bank, right?

Yeah, my Credit Union has been at 0.05% (yes, one twentieth of one per cent) for a long time now. So I’ve got the bulk of my savings at Ally Bank, which, as noted elsewhere in the comments, went to 2.2% on regular savings yesterday.

Can I submit Orient -> Orientate ?

I used subjunctive correctly but like you I never knew why or what it was called until I studied Spanish. My Spanish teacher told us that the classic example is “If I were a rich man . . . “.

Link to the UC Davis .pdf is broken. It wouldn’t let me edit.

Also keep in mind that some credit cards, some Chase ones for instance, will reimburse you for the application OR renewal fee. When I renewed mine the credit showed up on my statement the same day.

I’m old and old-fashioned, I guess, but, no, phones don’t “make it redundant”. I don’t carry a phone everywhere (like in the pool for instance), and it’s much more convenient to glance at your wrist than it is to pull a phone out and consult that. I’m old-fashioned enough that I often go many minutes, sometimes even…

Don’t link to articles which are behind a paywall! (considering today’s report from Woody Paige)

For table use we soften butter pieces then mix them about 50-50 with olive oil with an immersion blender.  It’s a little more healthful and tastes quite good.

Von Miller gets a penalty, Ramsey doesn’t, for the exact same thing. That goes to show how bad officiating is. (Am I still bitter about that penalty last year? Yes.)

I was a UPS driver for some years, in a mountainous rural area. Some people gave me a Christmas tip, but relatively few. It was usually around $20, or maybe a bottle of something or even just some cookies (which usually didn’t survive the day, work days being quite long in December). I didn’t expect tips, but they…

No.

I love locally grown lettuce - hyperlocal, as from my own garden. But it doesn’t happen in the Colorado mountains in November. Sure, I eat a lot more carrots and broccoli in the winter (and meat too, don’t think I’m one of those vegetarian types!), but sometimes want a salad in winter too.  Wouldn’t one think the…

Several credit cards, notably some from Chase, reimburse the fee to obtain or renew Global Traveler.  I charged my renewal to my card a couple of months ago.  The charge appeared on their website, then the credit within a few minutes after.

I found that the USPS account I already had, mainly for shipping Priority Mail packages, has access to Informed Delivery. I can’t recall for sure if I had to answer the credit bureau type questions when I created that account, but I don’t think so.

His shift key and apostrophe key don’t work. I have a similar problem with my colon. I have to hit it really hard like this::::
