For sure. I always get an aisle seat, and I always just stand next to my seat to wait.

The center seat gets priority on shared armrests.

Nope.  I’m getting up to stretch my legs ASAP.  I’ll gladly help pass a bag from further back, though, so just ask.

Every example given of countable quantities in this article could arguably also be said to be a measurement (instead of counting). We measure our wealth, time, distance, and prison population using particular units. We can also count ounces, but that’s still a measurement. The rule stands and this article features

Are you saying that pound for pound, a chicken breast has half the protein of a thigh?  Or do you think that the numbers used were for a similar portion?

It’s incredible to me that it’s now the following week, and the article still hasn’t been corrected. 

It’s too bad I’ll never know what really happens when you block someone on your iPhone, because there’s no article here.

When the article is attempting to inform people of facts about a niche subject, it’s not pedantic to point out an error.

In fact, pointing out your misuse of pedant isn’t even pedantic. It’s not pedantic if someone points out that a major point of a presentation/article/comment is wrong.

No,that’s a typo. Bourbon can be BOTTLED at no LESS than 80 proof, and must be DISTILLED at no more than 160 proof.

That’s another story.  But if you want to talk about the difference between urban colloquialisms and southern colloquialisms, that’s a whole ‘nother story!

And you correctly identified it as a colloquialism, not a malapropism.  Like many informal contractions, the ‘a’ has been dropped off from the word ‘another’ and an adjective has been added for emphasis.  It’s not just another story, it’s a whole ‘nother story.

Carbon steel is MUCH easier to maintain the edge IF you take care of the additional basic maintenance (wash and dry it completely after every use).

I firmly believe that Victorinox Fibrox knifes are the absolute best bang for your buck in kitchen knives.  Not quite $10 (usually $30-60, depending on the knife), but great steel that will last forever in a home kitchen.  They aren’t the prettiest knives, but they are the most practical.  There’s a reason why these

Ignoring the edge geometry issues that Claire touched on, there is no automatic sharpener that will put anything more than a mediocre edge on a knife. They’re simply inferior devices that are unable to be adjusted to the different angles needed to sharpen different knives made of different steel. They almost always

I’ve spent over an hour waiting to get through a TSA checkpoint.

That’s a great way to turn a great knife into a mediocre knife. 

For those who might not remember (or might not have been alive to hear it): 

Unless, of course, your linguistic patterns are a significant part of your job. Interacting with customers, with attorneys, with business clients are all very commonly found in almost all industries. Some jobs revolve around your linguistic patterns (writers, judges, TV/radio hosts, actors, etc...).

I think the dude

It says there’s going to be a “free tier” which has limitations, and implies that there will be paid tiers with less or no limitations.
