Apparently itās Apple suggesting Iām using the word wrong.
I typed āWhereās me goddamned parrot?ā in the Talk like a Pirate thread and Apple changed āgoddamnedā to āGoddardā (without asking) and underlined āparrotā in blue as if to suggest I couldnāt possibly mean to use the word.
Now itās underlying āmeā in the previous sentence.
Fuck you, Apple.

But it's correct in all of your examples, r8.
Perhaps you will feel better when it is no longer Talk Like a Pirate Day.

It may be technically correct, but Iām EXPRESSIVE.
I donāt want Apple second guessing me.
For some reason, it underlined ādonātā and āIāmā until I typed the next word. Why would it assume those are errors?

I don't work in real estate, but I work with real estate people (brokers, house flippers, property managers) for certain projects. Did anybody ever notice that real estate people love to get on the phone and call, even though we all know each others' e-mail addresses - and it's not urgent?
I'm old, so this is not a millennial or Gen Z thing about not wanting to talk on the phone.

Iām already on my second can today, R24. I need to drink more water anyway, so choking these down as fast as I can should be a win-win!
I donāt like variety packs either. They give two decent flavors as bait, but packaged along with the worst-selling flavor to get rid of it.
Usually, I get the unflavored variety at Aldi, but I was too busy to make a special trip this week and now Iām paying the price.

United Airlines just extorted $37 from me to not be in a middle seat on a 5+ hour flight.
On the bright side, the app would not let me select a seat for the return flight, so I had to contact an agent who snagged me a window seat at no extra charge.

They know that when we are booking a flight we are price conscious and when we are getting ready to fly we are comfort conscious, so they have set it up to extract maximum fees. Bastards.

In the US there are paid staff for larger buildings. For smaller buildings, if itās a rental, itās up to the landlord, but if itās a small co-op or condo, the owners may divide up cleaning the common areas if they donāt want to pay for a superintendent

Germans are like my age is none of your business, I came here to work not be besties, my work life and personal life are separate. I like the German workplace attitude!
