Would this truly be the suggested set up though? An inflatable pool in your dining room? I used to have hydrotherapy until I found it too difficult to actually get there. They recommended warm baths, not that I DIY one in my house!

For anyone unsure when to use I or me, remove the “and X” and see if the sentence makes sense:

My twin and I in the 80s > I in the 80s ❎

Me and my twin in the 80s > me in the 80s ✅

Helicopters fly over them. The tribe throw spears at them to make them go away.

You lower the “drawbridge” over the top of the stairs. Do your business and open the drawbridge again to use the stairs. Flawless design!

For anyone interested here’s a very abbreviated rough list of the first ever dictionaries, summarised from Wikipedia:

  • First Sumerian-Akkadian word list is dated around 2300 BCE.
  • The first surviving monolingual dictionary is Chinese and from 3rd century BCE.
  • First Arabic dictionary was from 8th century.
  • The oldest surviving Japanese dictionary is from 835.
  • The word dictionary was invented by an Englishmen in 1220. There are English-Latin, English- French and English-Spanish bilingual dictionaries from this time.
  • First Latin dictionary was published in 1440.
  • The first alphabetical English dictionary was published in 1604.
  • A Spanish, Italian and French dictionary were published ~1611.
  • The first American dictionary was completed in 1825.

I would have thought there would be dictionary of hieroglyphics before any of them, but if there was it hasn’t survived.

I’ve never understood LatinX. Is it supposed to be a gender neural Latino/Latina? I’m only a Spanish beginner but I’m fairly sure Latino can be masculine and gender neutral.

That’s what I was thinking, there’s absolutely no coming back from that.

Thank you! This community is an absolute dream to mod compared to some of my others. There’s not too much to get heated about with crappy real estate photos!
