they did surgery on a grape!

or put them at the end of the year, that would fix it for me 😅 July can be the 11th month and August the 12th month!

The English word comes from Latin, septem = 7, membris or mens = month (like menstruation).

In the Roman calendar the months are:

1. March
2. February
3. May
4. June
5. July
6. August
7. September
8. October
9. November
10. December

So the order of the months was more logical, and a Roman would naturally understand that September, October, November, and December read as literally the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth month respectively.

I basically constantly have to manually correct myself over and over that for example September is the 9th month, to look for the number 9 even though when I read “September” I am reading “seventh month” and my brain automatically wants to look for 7.

I think most people would not relate to my experience of the months let alone how upsetting this is to me, hence I consider it a “small hill” to die on, lol. But it’s a very big hill in my world!

oof

I switched to LibreOffice more than a decade ago and I never missed Microsoft Office 🤷‍♀️

(EDIT: I don’t mean this dogmatically, there are plenty of times I have had to compromise and go back to proprietary software, but LibreOffice really has successfully replaced Microsoft Office for me - it’s just as feature-rich and reliable with a similar UI. Google Sheets has a few features that I like and which aren’t in LibreOffice or MS Office, but I only use that for work when I need a collaborative sheet.)

I mean, it might have just been an empty liner / cover for a comforter - those are essentially sheets that are sewn together so you can fit a comforter between them, so you can take the comforter out and wash the sheet cover occasionally and keep the comforter clean.

So maybe google “duvet cover” or “quilt cover” and see if that matches?

All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).

Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).

Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.

huh, I would guess that the majority of people where I live in the South think this way. It’s repeated dogma from teachers, parents, etc. - there are literally billboards along the roadways talking about how useless university degrees are and advertising for trade schools and certificate programs.

those instincts will keep you alive

you should visit the Southern U.S., lol

and they let straight people adopt children, yikes

America breeds people like this

haha, I’ve never groked that he’s queer coded - but he does sorta have that closeted / repressed gay vibe, at least that sense that he’s massively insecure in his masculinity, the camp and kitsch of his style, etc.
