For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

Eating fried chicken sandwich for breakfast is completely normal and an awesome way to start a day.

I know it has a long history of not being used literally, but I think literally should only be used to mean literally.

The ability to spell well has nothing, or very little, to do with intelligence.

"Quilted" toilet paper is just scam to get you to buy less toilet paper for the same money.
It's not stronger.
It's not softer.
It weighs half as much as regular toilet paper and lasts half as long for the same price.
You are paying for air.

@thrawn21 Phones are too big, too heavy and too complicated. A few years ago my now "regular" sized phone would be called a tablet.

There are no dragons in Skyrim and many other games because wyverns are NOT dragons. and don’t use the “well the overarching category is dragon so it still counts” argument on me, because I will dismiss it out of hand!

Similar to yours, an SUV or CUV is just a lifted hatchback on steroids, and they have 0 upsides and a lot of downsides (higher fuel consumption, rollover risk and pedestrian and cyclist safety).

I will never switch to wireless headphones until the quality is as good as wired.

Will never buy another phone without a headphone jack for this reason.

Nothing against Bluetooth audio, either (it's very nice to have as an extra option). The expectation should be support for both wired and wireless.

Cats are an environmental disaster and if you let your cat roam outside or feed wild cats, you're just a bad person and directly responsible for hundreds of bird deaths.

It's "different from".

"Similar to"; "different from"; "less/greater than". "Different than" doesn't make sense.
