font I liked in a book on calligraphy

They’re called hands, because you do them with your hand. A font is a given instance of a typeface, which is a design of a script. Now you can be pedantic too!

I don’t think this answer is really in the spirit of “no stupid questions”.

Hier, Archie! (flauwe woordspeling, excuses)

They’re no turnips; they’re daikons.

An uncle of mine used to be in the TA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Reserve_(United_Kingdom)) and he said he’d learnt there how to just fall asleep as and when.

I used to know someone who learnt Dutch from age 60, and granted he’s very sharp, but if he can do that, I’m sure you can do this.

In a similiar vein: have you heard the one about the baker with smelly hands? He kneaded a poo.

$500 dollars

“Five-hundred-dollar dollars”

Although I like the idea of a drug smuggler typing “as per my previous email…”

Yes!

This is my start menu in Windows 11, so I’m also curious about all the hubbub. I will admit I had to get rid of a load of unwanted links when I first got the computer but I’ve never seen adverts beyond that and that it suggests Microsoft Edge in certain contexts.

Father, brother, husband,

go-getter thanks to Nescafé.

Start your day right with a cup of Nescafé!

Bluetooth gives me the same sensation as a stove with faulty knobs. It’s like there’s a veil between me and the machine.

I don’t know, ask them yourself?

I can! But it’s often like I can’t say “God love him” without some self-assured milksop craning his neck to tell me God can’t love him because God doesn’t exist.

I thought we’d snuffed this shite-arse logic out with “toxic masculinity”? They said “acting like a 2007 edgy internet atheist”, not “being atheist, which makes them edgy”.

See, I could reply to this with “nothing, because there’s no afterlife”. That’s what’s irritating: taking figures of speech or offhand comments based on this old idea of God and opting to be a humourless little twerp about them.

Can you not just leave it out for a bit? It’s irritating now.

But you have a really good idea how long such a trip will take.

I don’t in fact! But I’d still guess those distances in units of distance, personally!

When asked, do you tell everyone that the grocery store is 1.2 miles/1.93Km away?

I thought I’d already told you we say things like “ten-minute walk away”? “My nearest supermarket is about 350 yards away” is what I’d say.
