I'm willing to bet half those BC stats are actually Albertans driving into the mountains. Significantly more westbound than eastbound fatalities in the Rockies. If you fall asleep at the wheel in Alberta you wake up in the middle of a corn field. If you fall asleep at the wheel in BC you don't wake up.
From the article you linked:
"This has traditionally been considered incorrect on the basis that it is equivalent to referring to a judge as being an honourable or an adult man as a mister, both of which are also grammatically improper.[8][9] It is likewise incorrect to form the plural reverends. Some dictionaries,[10] however, do place the noun rather than the adjective as the word's principal form, owing to an increasing use of the word as a noun among people with no religious background or knowledge of traditional styles of ecclesiastical address."
I wouldn't correct someone who dropped this in casual conversation, but I do expect more from a news source that should be employing people with a better grasp on the English language.
This article is a mess.
Firstly, "Reverend" is an adjective, not a title. Sounds like it was a priest, minister, or pastor depending on denomination. It would be like referring to a judge as "an honourable" for an entire article.
Secondly, even if this minister pushed through the paperwork, there is no way it's valid. Both parties have to sign the completed document at the time of the wedding itself, and it typically has to be also signed by witnesses. "Pre-signing" it would indicate it. It's not a legally valid document.
Ironically, marriage documentation is pretty tight about the consent of both parties and witnesses to prevent women from being married off against their will.
Checkmate in TWO moves? How? The quickest I know is four.
"tenets" ... I thought you were giving me housing advice.
Yeah, a bit of an over reaction. I reread your original comment about sauteing and it was not phrased at all as criticism, but as a suggestion. Don't know what provoked that wall of defensiveness.
Isn't that like an ancestrally appropriate thing for Mongolian rulers? Where did he go? Bagdad? Would have thought they'd be proud of him.
Oh no no no ... The younger generation of Australians DON'T eat Vegemite. Consequently, they're growing weak and unhealthy.
Isn't that salsa? That's literally vinegar pickled bruscheta. Well, I guess it's got jalapeno.
Or you talking like a spread made from pickled cucumbers? That sounds a lot like relish.
No... Not at all. "gae" Vs "gahgged". Gay has a hard A, gagged had a soft A. Plus gagged had a 'gg' sound in the middle, and also a D sound at the end. Actually, the only thing they have in common is starting with a G.
Do they sound the same to you?
IIRC putaine (used by the connector above), salope, merde. Basically calling things sluts and whores and saying shit.
I rather randomly picked up the first four books in this series a couple decades ago when I was in France. It was a rather new experience for me as a Canadian to read a graphic novel with adult content. It is funny! I also learned a lot of vernacular and adult French in the process. Plus, I really liked the vibrant art.
The Trolls are awesome.
