[@amphoteric1729]

In official English grammar, ‘a’ should go before a word starting with a consonant (all letters in the alphabet except the vowels) whilst ‘an’ should go before words starting with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). However, in some English dialects that don’t pronounce the ‘h’ in many words (e.g. Cockney English), then ‘an’ can be used because the ‘h’, a consonant, is ignored. In most major dialects (Commwealth English, American English), “a hysterical” is correct.

In the UK we keep renaming schools from X Secondary School to Y Academy to distance the school from it past failings. Same location, pupils and teachers, and quite often same buildings. But it does create a new set of data on performance.

[@celticcheetah6371]

Ha yes. I taught English in a seriously rough school in East London, which had 3 names in the three years I worked there. First change was because some of our kids got recruited into ISIS and became jihadi brides, second change because four of the five most senior teachers (including the head/ principal) were caught giving kids the answers to GCSE maths exams/ tampering with exam papers afterwards and were fired. The final straw for me at that place was when a horrible girl squirted hand sanitiser into an autistic boy’s eye during my class. He, quite reasonably IMO, punched her in the face. School suspended him and did not punish her in any way, because they were frightened of her father, whose response to his three children’s consistently awful behaviour was to constantly threaten to sue the school, which he did actually do earlier that year over a violent incident with another of his kids. So I had the utter f*cking indignity of sitting in a “restorative justice” meeting where the Head of Behaviour MADE A JOKE to the girl about how she should “leave your hand sanitiser in your locker from now on”. Didn’t matter how nice the new logo was, by Name Three it was still an arrant sh*tshow and I’d had enough. Phewf - it appears I had stuff to get off my chest there ahaha. Sorry for the essay 🤣

I still assert that Facebook's name change is to avoid pending legal troubles.

[@alexdasliebe5391]

Oh, I’d not heard that . As an added thing: good luck explaining to Granny that the name is changing.

Oh Stephen, didn’t you know that just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in?

Facebook changing name is the real equivalent of Bond villains telling their evil plans: they started out ranking your face and now they're more about profiting from your metadata.

Is it just me or does Mark Zuckerberg remind anyone else of Brent Spinors “Data” character .

I mean Star Trek is feeling more like Reality everyday. So, I can't disagree. But let's give it 4 more centuries. See where this takes us. After all we're still in the 21st Century, let's savour it while it lasts.

Rebranding so much cheaper.

You have to ask they're corporate masters that question.

Genuinely surprised that paid maternity/paternity leave isn't a thing in the USA. I genuinely thought it was universally recognised as a 'good thing', I honestly can't imagine what people have against it

Definition of "meta": (of a creative work) referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential. "the enterprise is inherently “meta,” since it doesn't review movies, for example, it reviews the reviewers who review movies" Self-referential - yeah, that's Zuck.
