OK. If that is true, please explain why the words edited were chosen. Two examples to start with; "fat" and "ugly". It is quite clear they have been edited as to not offend certain groups. What groups of people tend to get most offended? The woke community. Simple. My children are too old now for such stories. Should I, in the future, have grandchildren I will be reading them the original versions. I will use them as teaching aids with regards to certain words and how they should and shouldn't be used. Calling someone "fat" or "ugly" in anger or in order to get a reaction is totally different to an author using they to correctly describe someone in a book and should be kept that way.

The emphasis of the disagreements is not so much on who is performing the edits but why they are doing them and who they are trying to please. Reading between the lines and looking at the words that are being edited, it is quite obvious what is going on. I hope they end up putting people off the books by this insanity and the whole thing backfires.

They are not assumptions. They are the facts. Re read the posts here and you will find the assumptions.

No further information so far. The body was found a mile away from the last sighting of her alive. Those making assumptions on here are just as bad as those being condemned nearer the scene.

I believe you missed my point.

A good teacher can easily adapt. It's not difficult. One of my best teaching jobs was at a private school that had Kibdergarden 1-3, Junior 1-6 and Senior 1-3. I taught classes ranging from Kindergarden 2 to Senior 3. I simply loved the variation in my classes. It was easy to switch my style according to the class I was teaching.

Incorrect. I believe it is British Gas that were responsible for that.

The headline maybe correct but you linking it to those installing prepayment meters is not.

I was quoting someone else. Their post is on this thread. Thus, making my post relevant.

Oh dear. You clearly have hidden agenda clouding your view and ability to comprehend what others write.

There is a flaw in your thinking. We are talking EU. That is Europe. All member states of EU are European. How can one be racist against their own race?

Is Covid19 still newsworthy? I don't think it is.

Wriggle wriggle. 5555

OK. Not "share" but "spread". Same assumption though.

Selective memory syndrome. Just as I suspected.

5 years on the hop more likely.

They can never visit Wembley without stealing the goalposts. ????????????

You once posted that I and another should "share our wealth". You'd made an assumption that we are wealthy. On what did you base that assumption?

Have they been addressed? There's not much changing. Strangely, the restrictions are aimed at Marijuana. The guys that smoke that are the least likely to cause any problems.

Why do you never answer questions? Unless you did and agree with the figure of $400000

There has been a red light district in Amsterdam since 14th Century. I doubt there are many residents who have lived there for 700 years.

So, someone finds a property they'd like to buy. They have a survey and local searches are completed. The purchaser ignores everything in those documents, buys the property and moves in. Then, and only then, they start to complain about what goes on around them. How stupid can you get. If you don't like it, don't move there.

It's been going on for many years. Likely longer than many of the residents have lived there. Those that moved in while is was going on have no cause for complaint. Don't like it, why move there?

That's quite funny. Prior to me pointing out a few glaring examples of how sampling doesn't work, there were no issues. Now there are issues. Wriggle aids by the looks of things.

Interesting comments. About as accurate as polls, it would appear. Here are a few glaring examples: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/24/how-eu-referendum-pollsters-wrong-opinion-predict-close https://www.britishpollingcouncil.org/performance-of-the-polls-in-the-eu-referendum/ g.ft.com/elections/uk/2017/polls/ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/05/why-the-opinion-polls-were-wrong-in-the-2015-general-election
