Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland all have their own national soccer teams.

Roo, there is some glitch happening, I think, where when I go to your Kinja page and Brick Hardmeat’s page, I can see there are subsequent replies you made to each other. But I can’t see the comments in their entirety on this page, even when I click on the comment you shared to Groupthink. So it’s hard for me to…

No, there are some minor differences between high school and college football rules.

Crystal Palace Football Club is actually named after this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Palace

Kanter is a great offensive player who can’t play defense. He was also in the news a bunch this summer because the Turkish government took his passport away while he was in Romania. His first name does not rhyme with “penis.” It more or less rhymes with “Dennis.”

NH native and I’ve never “the Arkansas of New England” before.

Don’t blame the split electoral vote in Maine on “archaic voting laws.” Nebraska does this too. If every state awarded electoral votes proportionally the electoral vote last November would have been a lot closer.

UNH’s questionable priorities aside, I can’t help but wonder why such a tiny proportion of the gift (2.5%) was designated for the library.

Tipping’s not mandatory. You don’t have to do it.

they rarely hire US Citizens over H1B’s

If Quying is a Chinese name (not sure), the q would be pronounced kind of similar to a ch (Chinese has sounds represented by “ch” and “q” which are similar but not exactly the same.)

Interesting point, but I fail to see how that’s irony.

An “endonym” is a term for a country or people group that they gave themselves and an “exonym” is a term that was given to them by outsiders. You’re correct that España:Spain::Côte d’Ivoire:Ivory Coast.

However, in 1985 the Ivorian government requested that Côte d’Ivoire be used in other languages instead of the…

Legal question here: I thought government entities could not sue for defamation. With UVA being a public school, how are they able to bring a lawsuit? This is an honest question about a legal technicality, not a comment on the merits of the lawsuit. Thanks.
