  • It is shocking how many people just don’t drink water. I understand it tastes different in different areas and tap water isn’t always safe to drink in certain areas, but even then you can get bottled water, as much as I hate the concept of putting water in plastic bottles and charging huge markup on it



  • No surprises there. I live in Northern Ireland and one of my colleagues was saying this is the one place where police aren’t brutal enough. Instead we’ve got gangs masquerading as defenders of “British culture” and the most abhorrent racist loyalist scumbags who take pride in their colonial heritage while simultaneously spewing hatred towards immigrants who aren’t even coming here. This is the least diverse place I’ve ever lived in and yet somehow immigrants are supposed to be “destroying their culture” (let’s not talk about hundreds of years of British suppression of Irish culture) or taking “their jobs” (maybe if they spent less time destroying 5G towers they could actually get a job)












  • I don’t know the specific name for this process, but the general term is derivation. A suffix added to a word which changes its meaning is derivational morphology (this is opposed to inflectional morphology, which is grammatical. So -er in driver is derivational, but the -s in drivers is inflectional) A noun which is made by adding -er to a verb is an agent noun, and a noun which is formed by adding derivational morphology to a verb is a deverbal (and the inverse is a denominal). Hope you find this helpful!
