It wasn't "Mr. Karenina" (I've never seen anyone use that form) he took issue with; he believed that the name should be translated as Anna Karenin rather than the usual Karenina, since English does not inflect surnames.

If you see a submission you think is inappropriate, hit "flag" next to the time stamp. If enough users do so it will be marked flagged. I think moderators can restore it manually at that point. You can also vouch for submissions y

This seems like bad news from an environmental perspective. We will end up with a synthetic alternative someday - the only question is whether we will be forced into it by the collapse of the horseshoe crab fishery.

7 and 8 are quite debatable. Where you live is limited by what you can afford, where you work, etc. Drug and alcohol dependence is considered to be an illness by medical doctors, and it's well-known to have strong genetic components. 1

Accent is the correct word. > I do not pronounce the words in the way people around me expect to hear. This is an interesting way of putting it - an accent is a collection of linguistic tendencies that together can clue a listener in on

Honestly, why even worry if your opponent is cheating? You can learn equally well regardless. Just worry about what you do; as long as you're not cheating it's not a waste of time.

It's not just about pain management - it's about accepting and making peace with dying. If there's a possibility that a drug can make this process easier for terminally ill patients, why would you object to its use by people

We're not even discussing the minimum wage here; it already is a thing whether you agree with it or not. The question is whether there should be two different rates for positions that are customarily tipped, thus decreasing price trans
