It’s a neologism coined by a Japanese company, so strictly speaking not an English (or American, since the practices for plurals are somewhat different) word and the coiner should be the authority for what the plural is intended to be. However, as a foreign word borrowed into American, the practice of everyday…

They are at Infiniti.

The incentives are going to depend on which site is chosen and the relevant jurisdictions; it conceivably could be in Fayette County or Washington County instead of Pittsburgh proper or Allegheny County, although I think it unlikely. And it’s not like 50,000 are being dropped in at once, it will be over some time. The…

But part of the increase in “incidents” is attributable to animals that are not well-behaved, especially fake service animals without appropriate training whose owners just want to take them places they are not permitted, so that is a bad assumption. Asking owners to formally attest that the animal is an accredited…

It may not snow often, but it does get cold occasionally, so colder-weather tires are useful. As for your summer tires in winter, some summer tire models advise that if the temperature goes below freezing or thereabouts, the tires should not only not be driven on, they should only be used again if they are warmed very…

Isn’t there a Youtube vid about people who tried this needing to be hospitalized, or dying? Something about overheating, dehydration and suffocation.

This must be why you don’t care that wearing polarized sunglasses makes some LCD instruments disappear; you don’t wear them.

The two-piece pasta cutter (roll your own) was a free bonus when I bought my most recent KA, but I would love to have the sausage casing stuffer.

This is a misunderstanding of fiduciary duty. They have a duty to behave prudently. I agree it did the US no good to have nearly the highest corporate taxes if they couldn’t be collected, but this is a case of the largest corporations in the world threatening to hold their breaths until the whore became compliant. If…

Don’t most vehicles that appeal primarily to single people and childless couples have lower resale value and sales volume than vehicles that appeal to people with families? Isn’t this a reason why manufacturers, intentionally or not, push buyers toward family vehicles by dropping lower-volume and less-expensive…

Remember the “English” alphabet wasn’t English, it was originally Latin. Both “S” and the medial s were current at the same time and used in different ways according to spelling rules, even in the same word (for double s in English the first was medial and the second was not; medial s wasn’t used as a terminating…

Hardee’s ‘roast beef’ is Roy Rogers. Marriott sold the Roy Rogers chain to Hardee’s in 1990; they sold half the stores to other chains and rebranded 80% of the stores they kept as Hardee’s while adopting the most popular menu items, leaving about 50 Roy Rogers-branded stores in regions where it had good market share.

She has a child? A man inseminated her, or artificially? Voluntarily, or at gunpoint?

This person apparently was taught the (correct) concept that applause is an expression of appreciation for live performers present in the venue. Applause for recordings, inanimate objects, and indeed, oneself (which is essentially what you describe) is considered gauche. But that ship sailed decades ago; rudeness and…

Do you have objections to “Gesundheit”? In relative proximity to Amish (or Yiddish-speaking) areas even the ‘English’ use the expression, and I don’t think I heard “Bless you” until I was an adult. Wishing someone health doesn’t seem sinister or compromising of personal beliefs.

Well, this happens a lot of years, usually towards the end of winter when there’s a rapid thaw. For example, the Allegheny takes several crazy meanders in a row and East Brady sits within one of them; the topography encourages catching debris and ice floes and creating dams. Downstream, floes get caught on each…

So, a potential Republican gain, then.

Why do we blame the manufacturers for the failure of US customers to want real colors? We used to have them, some of the Japanese in the name of efficiency put stricter limits in place and the other manufacturers noticed that they got away with it and followed suit.

It’s as if Conaway’s unaware Dell’s, HP’s and Apple’s kit is manufactured in part by the commies as well, and even the Koreans are using some parts from their Chinese partners. He’s trying to stop the ship from sailing 20 years after it left port.

You can’t have everything. If the dimensions of the screen are going to dictate the dimensions of the bottom case rather than the bottom case dictating those of the top case, something else is going to be compromised—keyboard dimensions and travel, trackpad dimensions and click feel, battery capacity, or thickness…
