Once you input destination and get directions, make sure you download the map as advised, in case you are in a krap signal area. You'll still see 'you' on the map, but lose verbal instructions and up coming arrows to turn. GPS will still track you, usually. And yes, good to know the road #s, and with any luck, they'll be signed and still be the same #.

Finally an advisory that makes sense, although, any resident living here, should know if you live near a hillside, sh!t happens. More than enough signs on highways warning the same. Marine advisory should be common sense by now, but nice to know predicted wave heights. Strangely, been windy here/PKK, and the gulf is flat. Just came back from my daily cruise. Still there, low tide, flat, and lots of boats on the bay & sand. Nobody seems concerned, which is my weather vane ... ... how many small crafts in the bay, or at protected khlongs chillin'.

Really doesn't bother me, but it did take me by surprise. First time I actually read, when pronouns being improperly used, from what I was taught. And yes, it will always be an improper use of the pronoun, past, present & future. They (proper use & alphabet choice ????) should be using the 'new' ones, Xe / Xem / Xir, as it wouldn't confuse the rest of us, or the auto grammar correct, which apparently hasn't woke up yet. Use any pronoun you want, but my revised example in the OP, simply using the name, is a much easier read. Without the need for a *, advisory why they/them used. Confirms it's unusual reading for those over 20 yrs old, and not taught how to speak, write improperly in school. Just don't expect me to play along, or get offended when I don't. Your name is all I'll be using, when appropriate. Yet to have anyone I know in the alphabet club to ask to use such silliness. 1+1 still = 2 They & Them is still and always will be, a plural pronouns, in my world.

So Diablo MC got a pass. I see them locally, occasionally riding with Bandido members

You might want to look up the definition. Actually I am ... ????

Freedom of Speech doesn't seem to be allowed in this instance in a few states, (USA) as people have lost their jobs for not using someone's preferred pronoun.

If heading that way, Mae Sot, may want to research Umphang Dist., Tak, especially if like 'the' waterfall, would think best in TH to see. They had a scam going, and why I never bothered. Insist you need a 4X4 to see, but can't use yours ... ???? Don't know if that's still going on or not, as was years ago when I was considering it. At the time, wife couldn't deal with another winding road in the cars we 'had'. Seems she has no problem in present car, and handled Nan with no problem, surprisingly. Mae Sot to Thi Lo Su, is 200 kms/4.5 hrs, nuff said. Thi Lo Su Waterfall Another negative, it's 1 road in, 1 road out, to & through Umphang.

New ones, pronouns or words are introduced all the time, and accepted. But you really can't take established pronouns, that don't even come close to what you are trying to say. They & Them in a singular form just doesn't read or sound right. "Hey where's Bob ? " ..."They went to the bar to grab a beer" "Cool, who's with Bob ?" ... "He's alone" "huh ... ????"

Wife uses the machine, as a fan of the crema. My coffee is was to strong for her. It's a coffee machine ???? and would say it makes a terrible espresso. 15bar vs 9bar, and poor extraction, as no way to slow it down. It was inexpensive, and we don't drink espresso anyway.

Well shucks, bust my buttons, reckon y'all feel cleansed now. Them there accents, they be a chick magnet in the states. ????

There's that ... though popping the pod in vs actually doing something, just doesn't fit in some folks' lives. I'm full on, for the same balanced cup every morning: Slide scale over Warm cup up in microwave Add 10g sugar Grind beans Start kettle Paper in drip cone Add coffee grinds 50g Add water 300g 200g yield Find that easier than the machine, French Press or Moka Pot. About 10 minutes killed, now for the rest of the day. Hmm, lets start with trolling AN, while sipping that cup of Joy.

Word dog

As are most ICEV ... ????

Well it is quite an accepted contraction by possibly 10's of millions of people, whether due to location, or racial background. Myself, exposed to both, growing up on the other side of the tracks in the NE, and working in the S, so I fit right in, when moving southward from the NE. Other fine examples, besides the more familiar ones using 'will' or 'not', 'can't', 'won't', 'he'll', 'she'll':

As stated, make sure you can use any coffee in it, as some machines may still be proprietary, Also, make sure it takes reusable/refillable pods, as one complaint about them, is they aren't eco friendly, and add a lot to the landfills, in comparison to 'no pod' process of coffee making. Also the drinkable yield, is a wee bit small and basically a damn sip for me. Though I'm not an espresso drinker.

Agree. I'm still have issue with the redefining of 'vaccine' so big Pharma could avoid lawsuits. That took things to a new level. Along the same lines. BUT ... Another topic for another day/thread. Same with history being rewritten. Let's keep it on pronouns ... ... so, 2 full pages and we're all still civil ... ok, told I lied, instead of being mistaken, but probably just 'misspoke' ????

See that, you didn't google. Even on appeal to federal court, I think, or high state court, and one firing was upheld. I advised you before you post, and still.

I just use 'humour' instead of the proper spelling. Humour must be wrong, as it get highlighted.

Just a bit of humour. Woke means different things to different folks, on different subject matter. I'm 'aware' of many things, that my parents refused to see. But there's a limit to what conformity is expected now, for some of the silliness.

Actually I think they did ... Xe / Xem / Xir, but as you suggest, aren't provocative, and nobody wants to use, as it doesn't shout ... 'look at me' enough. Along with teaching everyone how to actually pronounce them. Is he 'X' silent, the 'e & i' short or hard sound ???? and do you really want to sound like and idiot or explain what the hell you just said, over & over.

Agree, other things are more important in the world, like the price of beer, or rain, or the next news-blip about an MVA, where nobody was injured. Unless of course, you just lost your job, means of supporting your family, if some little snowflake gets offended because you used English the were you were taught. Just imagine being an English language teacher, and being forced to use pronouns improperly ... how ironic. How's that play out in the courtroom ???? Google before you reply and state that would never happen.
