There's truth in the idea that Trump supporting an idea made it toxic even if it was a good idea, but it didn't happen in a vacuum. It happened because the anti-Trump media attacked everything Trump said, whether it was sensible o

One of my favorite YouTube channels is an off-grid homesteader in the UK. I once thought the idea was compelling, but watching the incredible amount of work this guy has put in over many years has discouraged me, as has the toll it took on

Indeed, which prompts me to mention one of the most annoying things about Grammarly. It irritates me no end when I deliver technical writing for a client and they respond with a list of "errors" of that sort after they have run it

Well, thank you, but that error was the result of a quick rephrasing. I modified one aspect of the sentence to maintain parallelism between the two gerunds without making sure it still made grammatical sense. I should have removed the artic

From the document I'm working on now: - Your sentence may be unclear or hard to follow. Consider rephrasing. (the suggested rephrasing makes no sense and is ungrammatical). - Add a comma (the suggestion is to add a comma between "

She's not just a Cambridge don. In the UK, she's well-known as a TV and radio broadcaster about classics, history, and art. She is of the left and approaches those subjects with a progressive slant, which attracts negative attenti

There are two issues that should be separated. The first is that there were (and probably are) foreign spies in industry and government. That's damaging and they should be removed. The second issue is that those given the power to find

When I lived in Morocco, the prices went down the longer I shopped with particular market vendors. The first time I bought oranges, for example, they were eye-wateringly expensive. As I became a regular buyer, the price gradually dropped un

This is good news, I suppose. But why should users trust SUSE to maintain a free RHEL clone for the long term when Red Hat came to the conclusion it was bad business. Once bitten, twice shy.

Rubbish. With the exception of Taki and maybe Young and Liddle, most Spectator writers and editors are moderate middle-of-the-road Cameron-type conservatives—they're basically Blairites.

Well, to be blunt, my sister in law definitely explained to her 11-year-old daughter that sending pictures of her vagina to strangers wasn't a good idea. Kids don't listen.
