People falling asleep in Parliament should be encouraged.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

QuoteHandmaid's Tale author Margaret Atwood has sparked a feminist backlash after writing an opinion piece about the #MeToo movement.

The writer asked in Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper whether she was a "bad feminist" for demanding due process for those accused of sexual harassment.

I'm guessing the 'reaction' to it made it a self-fulfilling prophecy?

2 fruits per person

Does this sign mean 30 apples and 4 oranges are OK?
Or am I misunderstanding the fruit / fruits grammar here

Clearly the intended meaning.
But the technicality of the word fruits is bugging me

She's been political her entire life, though.  :lol:
