Oh wow, I haven’t thought about that episode in decades.

As a lifelong Nintendo fan, I’ve been rooting against them in pretty much everything for close to a decade at this point.

Sekiro for me, for similar reasons.

It’s definitely the same thing. We can test this using other modals and auxiliaries in equivalent question constructions to show that we’re dealing with analogous structures:

If making a question with “might”, for example (with the pro-predicate base sentence “But your medical clinic might do”), we get “But might your medical clinic do?”

With “would”, “But would your medical clinic do?”

So, with “dummy do”/do-support leading to the insertion of “do” for inversion purposes, along with the separate pro-predicate “do” lower in the clause, “Your medical clinic does” (or possibly “Your medical clinic does do”) becomes in the same way “Does your medical clinic do?”

Here’s a blog post about it, and here’s a StackExchange exchange about it.

This is common and considered correct in British English.

This is common in British English.

For example, the question “Are you going into town?” might be answered by an American with, “I might,” and by a Brit with “I might do”. In past tense it would be “I might have” vs. “I might have done”.

This is all perfectly systematic and grammatical - this person just has a different grammar than you do. Though I guess that’s what Nazis do best: enforcing arbitrary standards in systems they don’t understand to destroy diversity to everyone’s detriment.

That sounds amazing. I already eat spoonfuls of ground beef out of the pan when prepping for other meals, so why not?

Apparently neither does he.

Seconded. I’ve considered trying this out myself.

Looks like I moved to proton drive just in time!

The TSA allows food though?

You’re getting predictably trashed in this thread, but I wanted to thank you for bringing a small semblance of sanity to this ridiculous circle jerk.

Apparently eleventy-bajillion dollars wasn’t enough.

Here’s my comment from the last time this came up (like a week ago):

“There’s been no meaning shift. The “possessive” and “envious” uses of jealous both date from the 14th century in English, and both senses were present in the ancestors of these words all the way back to Greek.”

It’s always been synonymous with “envious”, as far back as we can trace.

This isn’t the case, because humans can handle significantly larger deviations from “comfortable” on the cold side than the hot side, so again Fahrenheit gets it pretty much right.

This is horrible logic. If anything, it should be: you need to learn Celsius if you are doing science, but most people aren’t scientists and therefore don’t need to learn Celsius, so this isn’t really a problem that comes up for a lot of Fahrenheit users.

According to Wikipedia Rankine is properly used with the degree symbol, but sometimes is not by analogy with Kelvin.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for being willing to bring a different opinion and a little nuance to the circlejerk here.
