Horrific. Poor woman.

Admittedly, your observation is, in many ways, astute. Nevertheless, one must consider the possibility that, stylistically speaking, many writers feel compelled — or perhaps, more charitably, inspired — to deploy discourse markers as though their careers depended on it. Moreover, it appears that, increasingly, such language has become a sort of lexical seasoning sprinkled liberally throughout otherwise serviceable prose. Consequently, the cumulative effect is, unsurprisingly, one of rhetorical fatigue. Furthermore, editors — for reasons that remain, arguably, mysterious — seem, from time to time, to regard such linguistic padding as a hallmark of sophistication. Accordingly, and perhaps even regrettably, articles end up sounding less like writing and more like a TED Talk delivered by someone who just discovered the transition section of a grammar book. Therefore, it is entirely plausible that these flourishes are being added post-submission, retrofitted into the prose like ornamental gutters on a perfectly fine house. Conversely, one could argue that these markers serve a useful function — namely, guiding the reader through complex arguments and, to an extent, simulating the flow of natural conversation. Nonetheless, in excess, they begin to feel less like helpful signs and more like someone yelling “NEXT POINT!” at the end of every sentence. In other words, the prose starts to sound as if it’s perpetually clearing its throat. Ultimately, then, whether this phenomenon is driven by editorial mandate, linguistic insecurity, or an unconscious addiction to adverbial glitter, the result remains the same: readers, regrettably, must wade through a textual thicket of “consequentlys,” “moreovers,” and “interestinglys” just to locate the actual point. Indeed, it’s exhausting.

I guess this is a desperate bid to overcome the stigma of being the worst polluted city in the world on occasions. Heaven forbid they made the effort to actually improve AQ, the root cause of the issue putting off tourists from visiting.

Actually in the US and UK it was 6 feet.......only the US uses archaic units of measurements, much the distress of the ring wingers in the UK who also want to use pounds, ounces, pecks, bushels and the like......one exception (not sure why, is miles). As we used 2m and the US used 6'.....those 6.74" made all the difference....you died in your droves...... who said size doesn't matter?

I was joking!!!

Vernon Edward Coleman (born 1946) is an English conspiracy theorist and writer, who writes on topics related to human health, politics and animal welfare. He was formerly a general practitioner (GP) and newspaper columnist. Coleman's medical claims have been widely discredited and described as pseudoscientific conspiracy theories.......by the deep state working hand in glove with big pharma no doubt

Like these...?

Don't like coffee, but going to start drinking Nestle now.

So just to clarify.......where does this Haavara agreement refer to a Jewish state being created? The Nazis were opposed to Jewish self-determination and sought the elimination of Jewish people and influence from Europe.

They already have 1.4 billion robots.....not sure they need anymore.

Wasn't this just an agreement to ship them out to Palestine?......it wasn't aimed at creating a Jewish state.

True, but he did support moves to promote a route or routes for Jews to emigration in order to quickly expel them from Europe.

I guess it depends where you are in the pecking order.

Estimates suggest that 10 million U.S. citizens reside outside the United States in 2020, a significant increase from 4 million in 1999. According to Eurostat, in 2021, approximately 10 million EU citizens currently reside outside of the EU. With a population 113 million in excess of the US, it seems the US is even less popular than the EU for its own citizens.

Agree....rather a naive statement.....how do bridges collapse, cranes fall over, sections of U turn fall onto the motorway below, buses catch fire causing multiple horrific deaths.....the list goes on. Even in supposedly tightly controlled situations in western countries people don't do their jobs properly.

This is all being sponsored by the far left radicals.......I might have missed it, but where in the article is this stated and what evidence is presented to support such a statement?

Seems Vance was quite prophetic.

That is why the piece is so poignant......don't you get it?

There but for the grace of God go I......I was tightening the torsion bars on an E-Type when it started to swing of the blocks. I had just enough strength, leaning against a wall, to hold it until help arrived.....touch and go.

The SCOTUS appears to be playing politics!......oh how we larfed......SCOTUS playing politics.....who would have thought.

Should be 365 and once every four years 366.

Before March 12, 1938 Hitler never invaded another country. Even he won't won't get away with death camps Armsbands.....true.....not yet.

Not that I recall....555

Four years out and this is the forecast?......what a joke. Reform will tear itself apart by the end of next year.

Much easier with a Thai wife......I get to do nothing. She deals with all admin, phone calls, immigration, bill paying..........
