The "an" is correct, if you read the number as "eleven hundred and fifteen".

You might be misunderstanding the word "resocialize". It has nothing to do with you.

I try to be charitable with 15 year old wannabes. Because 15 year olds who don't wannabe something, generally don't turn out interesting. And most 15 year olds who already have their life figured out are either wrong or boring.

I cannot think of a single case where the words "want" and "desire" are not interchangeable. One might connote a greater or lesser longing or preference in a given context, but I think that will also vary. To the poi

Then differentiate them coherently for me. Ideally with either prescriptivist justification or descriptivist evidence.

Right. So I'm sticking with the belief that you cannot coherently differentiate "want" from "desire", which was my point. :)

There is no "the dictionary". E.g.: desire: transitive verb: To wish or long for; want - The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition desire: verb [T not continuous]: (WANT) - The Cambridge Dictionar

If you can coherently differentiate "want" from "desire", I'd love to hear it. :)

It's a valid desire, but you have to be really dedicated to the effort to block it, in practice. You might intend your API to be consumed only by your own clients. E.g. your published mobile apps. A well-designed API won't allow a

I don't think this is relevant here. Mozilla's executive compensation is famously disconnected from any realities -- economic, industry fad, or otherwise.

OK but that's just the "US Navy was built for major power wars" problem. The asymmetrical combat problem is real. We saw that back in 2000 with the USS Cole. I have no insight here obviously, but there's a reasonable the

The US is not at war with the Houthis, or with Iran. The US is maintaining a level of conflict, with the intent of not allowing escalation. You might have a point that the US is politically hesitant to fully engage, should the time come. Bu

I don't think you can speak authoritatively about Syd Barrett's life, or his mental health issues. Those that can, do not agree that LSD was causative. Syd was not the only person doing LSD in the 1960s, and if your argument boils

This logic is not formally valid. It's a reasonable basis of belief for a pre-science culture, though. Also, FWIW, cow's milk has objectively changed in the last few decades.
