Halfpenny: Pronounced "hape-ny", does this have the most morphological redundancy in the English language (as well as pecuniary redundancy in British currency) ? 🤔

@history99917180 Because the Japanese do (it's literally "Japan built" in Japanese).

@history99917180 Allez les bleus (blancs et rouges)...

HERETIC (2024): While not entirely as I had expected (not necessarily a bad thing), this is well-made and suspenseful enough to be enjoyable, and, of course, the movie is stolen by Hugh Grant's awesome cardigan, which elevates it to 6¾/10.

@jdpoc Also, are Kinder Eggs still illegal there ? 🤔

@BenartyComputer @Scott_Wortley A self-made man, who loves his maker... ? 😉

@CliveWismayer

@yelhsaashton It's been in the OED for several years now.

@history99917180 No point arguing with you. You'd just hack into the school central computer database & amend the result back up anyway. That's what any righteous dude would do.

@jdpoc I wonder how many other folk, upon seeing him board a plane, think, I hope the pilot isn't qualified... 🤔

@jdpoc When I used to use my bike for commuting in The Highlands during the winter, sometimes I'd pull over, remove my boots, & thaw my feet out on the exhaust.

@legalstyleblog Be glad you don't practise law in Scotland, where "sheriff" often becomes "sherrif", "sherif", or "sherriff", & the corresponding adjective "shrieval" is apt to even worse.

Why isn't "NEITHER" + "NOR" considered a double negative... ? 🤔

@TSinghmorethanl @Jebadoo2 Reminds me of that poem about the condemned man's widow being interviewed by a journalist, who queries the medal on her mantelpiece. "Oh, they pinned that on him the last time he killed a man"...

@TSinghmorethanl In any event, his snobby claims for intellectual superiority rooted in Ancient Greek philosophy only make his anachronistic disconnect with modern times all the more painfully conspicuous. He comes across as somewhat of a satirical caricature.

@TSinghmorethanl Can't make up my mind whether Starky is serious & delusional, or merely playing to stereotype for the sake of a pay cheque 🤔

@history99917180 Wow, a colour portable telly. They must've been well posh !!
