You did it again! You just invented something in your own brain! You're arguing against yourself - and losing.

Are you .... okay?

Geek enthusiasm struggles against Trump hate, like a 60's sci fi robot caught in a contradiction ...

Do you realize that you are having an argument with intrusive voices in your own brain? Or not?

I notice this all the time with TDS sufferers: they invent something and rage against it.

Epstein ran a child rape ring against Americans for Israel. If the truth ewere known, the existence of Isreal would be threatened. Isreal requires an external sponsor to exist. That sponsor is the USA, and if it weren't us, it would be Russia.

Israel has a right to exist!

Don't drive them into the hands of Putin, antisemite.

Besides according to the Left, MAPs are just a sexual orientation like gay. Oppressing them is fascism.

No. That is why I am sticking with google. I will give Apple until the end of the year before I ditch them for something Android + my own mods to de-google my phone a-la cyanogen or something; to come up with a better answer than "I found some web results. You can view them on your iPhone". Simple requests like "What is kilowatt?" are handled shittily.

But ... but ... "capitalist society"? Outrage? Something something?

Yes, I hate how many times I died as a toddler and in my twenties. Was very inconvenient!

We need more nuclear everywhere.

>"which think is deliberately misleading."

Yes, I think MANY car companies are doing it intentionally to mislead consumers. Especially when they have no BEVs. Honda did it, Toyota did it, Infiniti, many of them. I know, because I encountered it a lot when doing research.

And to the people who claim hybrids "are EV's" I would retort with they "are ICE". Because they are just as much ICE as EV.

>"hybrids as I see them as the worst of both worlds."

As do I. Although a PHEV (plug-in hybrid) is something I think could be very useful for some people. But even those I certainly do not think of them as the "best of both worlds" due to the complexity/maintenance when compared to a BEV.

>"This is a common enough form, so it's fine."

It is "fine" if you want to sound uneducated. Like it or not, people can and will judge you on the way you write and speak. So if you say/write "There is three people", then you will appear less educated. This may interfere with advancement or even just validity of what you are trying to say. In a perfect world, it might not matter (more focus on what is meant), but we aren't living in that world.

The judge from "Caddyshack" said it best... The world needs ditch diggers too! The university "industry" has churned out thousands of useless degree ldiots for generations. The market is saturated. Meanwhile, you can get a job in the trades easily...but a lot of Gen Z types have been conditioned from birth to get a college degree. Plus, most don't want to put in a days labor. (ie: getting their hands dirty). I got an associates degree in electronics in the late 70's. Never been unemployed or under employed. But I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty!

>"Right, because nobody's ever been mugged at a gas station. It's well known how safe and secure they all are. /sarcasm"

If you don't have the option to charge at home (thankfully I can and do), you are likely to spend much, much, much more time "trapped" at a commercial charger than the 4 min to fill a gas tank and be off. Many of them are not as well-let or in as well-trafficked areas, often with no attendant oversight or even cameras. The more time spent at such places, the more likely there will be a negative encounter. So the OP does have a valid point.

>"Hyundai's Electric Car Sales Surged 50% Over July 2024"

No, Hyundai's "electrified" vehicles sales surged. That includes hybrids.

I wish people would be more specific. To 99% of people, if you say "electric car/vehicle", the assumption is that the conversation is about BEVs, not hybrids. Most people (me included) would not regard a hybrid as an "electric car."

>"Actually, it does.[...] So, popular use is precisely what determines meaning and correctness."

Well, tell that to your English teacher and see if it manages to get you a passing grade when you say/write very popular things such as: "I is going to the store", "They had went there", "You and me should get together", "I seen them do it", "Where did you put it at."

>"This is extremely frustrating, and hard to accept, for certain kinds of people"

I guess I am one of those people :)

>" "There're" ??

That is a valid contraction. But it is strange. Much easier to just say/write "there are."

>"Your grammar Nazi license has hereby been revoked."

I actually thought it was a funny/witty posting, seeing the construct and subject (exams, education, AP, subjects). Sorry you think it is "grammar Nazi-ism", it wasn't meant to be that way. I do have better things to do than go after incorrect grammar- that would be a futile, full-time job.
