Well I thought the joke I assumed you were making was a good fit for your point, which I agree with btw. Spellcheck wouldn’t catch “shear” anyway, that’s the cutting one.
The see-through one has ee.
Why “sheer” is also the one you meant, meaning utter or complete, I don’t know.
English.
When I say “day” or “today” I pronounce it fully, but when saying the names in conversation, it’s more like “I’ll see you Tuesdy at noon.”
Judging by reactions, it’s just, maybe SoCal? Or maybe just me.
Wensdy.
Are the rest of you out there really pronouncing the a in the days? Even in sentences? The only time I hear myself do it is if I’m listing them and paying attention. Might just be me though.
Heehee concidered and shear. You literally made me go back and spellcheck your whole comment in case I’d missed more.
But have you ever been downtown in any big city with lots of skyscrapers? The subheader of the question asks about those as well, and since the consensus is that NYC can be very windy because the grid funnels the wind (I’ve experienced it myself) it would be interesting to know if an older circular-walled city origin would cause the modern skyscrapers (planted in old lots) to block the wind more effectively, for instance. Meanwhile, The street grid of old Spanish Los Angeles was deliberately laid out at a 45-degree angle to the cardinal directions to maximize sunlight and wind circulation. This was done in accordance with the Laws of the Indies, a set of planning regulations decreed by the Spanish crown in 1573 for all colonial settlements. This older, angled grid is still visible in the city’s downtown core, where it clashes with the standard north-south-east-west grid introduced after the American takeover.

Concentration camps yes, but Death Camps with gas chambers and crematoria, not intended to hold people for any longer than it took to “exterminate” them, were new. Even slave-labor camps of the sort where inmates were starved and worked to death were frowned upon, not considered normal. That’s why the Nazis lied, and created false camp films for propaganda.
Edit to add this from the article about the Rosenstrasse protest:
Goebbels swiftly realized that to use force against the women protesting on the Rosenstrasse would undermine the claim that all Germans were united in the volksgemeinschaft. Using force against the protestors would not only damage the volksgemeinschaft, which provided the domestic unity to support the war, but would also draw unwanted attention to the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”. Stoltzfus wrote: “A public discussion about the fate of deported Jews threatened to disclose the Final Solution and thus endanger the entire war effort.”[18]
Pretty sure his students aren’t.
I don’t really care about the jewels themselves, but I guess they have some historical or artistic value. I suspect that unless they were stolen to order by an oligarch, there are backroom negotiations going on with the insurance company and they’ll eventually be returned, more valuable than ever because of the story. As for the movie, there’s probably already a couple of scripts in production.

Some, but not most. There’s significant nutrition in the phloem (layer under the skin) which is not removed by peeling. And even the center has nutritional value. It is best to peel them just before using rather than let them sit around once peeled, since the peel protects them.
I peel carrots because to me the peel tastes like dirt. As for that whole poop discussion, I’m pretty sure that guano in the soil is not the worst contaminant on the skin of the carrot. E. coli on vegetables for instance usually comes from the hands of someone who handled it. And many carrots have pesticides on them.
I grant you that the skin probably also contains lots of vitamins, although there’s still plenty in the interior. And giving the carrot a really good scrub would get the skin clean.
But I’ve never been able to scrub away the dirt flavor to my satisfaction. So I peel them with a carrot peeler. The existence of which indicates it’s a common enough behavior not to merit an interrobang.
Though I do love an interrobang, so thanks.

They did you a favor. The advantage is, you only have to peel One Carrot. And it’s not that hard to cut it up, you could even make carrot sticks and dice half of them for stew, or cut half and shred half for carrot salad. The sticks keep nicely in the fridge with a little cold water.
Honestly, a photo of this might be more helpful at the market
They usually get a set amount payable on submitting a final draft, or a salary. Which, if it’s an ego project, might be more lucrative than a percentage of profits.
Consider the Navel Orange. Completely unable to reproduce on its own, yet it has millions of progeny because of people like you!
Yup, just assume they are.
