Standard method for last numbers: 50 * 5 - 25 - 2 * 7 + 1 = 212
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Yes. She didn’t check the dictionary. She didn’t check the validity of wilcos x in an earlier episode this series either. Misleading for viewers.

"I'm going to start with the carat as in 13-carat gold. Um, it's a unit of weight that is used to measure gold, and also gemstones, such as the diamond."
No, Susie, the carat used with gold is a unit of purity. OTOH, the carat used with gemstones is a unit of weight (or more precisely, mass).
You could well ask where Susie gets her info from.

I'll say my cheerios then, you know like when Jack told Rose not to say her goodbyes when they were in the Atlantic. What's the difference?

The difference is purely in how the dictionary defines it (so take it up with them). It's not done by what we consider to be reasonable usage.Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:17 pmI'll say my cheerios then, you know like when Jack told Rose not to say her goodbyes when they were in the Atlantic.

She did, and that's what caused the debate, since I think most people on here would consider her to be wrong in this case.Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 9:35 pmSure.

GOODBYE is both an exclamation and a noun; CHEERIO is an exclamation only, and not a noun at all.Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:17 pmI'll say my cheerios then, you know like when Jack told Rose not to say her goodbyes when they were in the Atlantic. What's the difference?

Ok, I see that, but it still doesn't make it sound right that one can have a goodbye, but not a cheerio (lower case!).Philip A wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 10:34 amGOODBYE is both an exclamation and a noun; CHEERIO is an exclamation only, and not a noun at all.Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:17 pm
