Prams, or buggies, as I call them, or pushchairs, as others call them, are absolutely still used, I would say. I just looked up what a stroller looks like and it is the same thing, just the American term, for a pram/buggy/pushchair.

Actually it isn't a stroller which is usually called a buggy over here. A pram is a baby carriage with 4 wheels and carries the baby lying down like a cot, a cot on wheels. Oh a cot is called a crib in USA, I nearly forgot. As said already 'pram' came from perambulator which is a very Victorian sort of word.

Pram or buggy are pretty much interchangeable these days for any contraption with wheels that you push babies around in, and get your fingers sheared off by if you’re not careful folding/unfolding it. My mum used to refer to the type you’re describing (and which she carted me and my sister around in) as a bassinette pram (don’t quote me on the spelling). Although anyone seen using one of those these days is almost definitely shoplifting frozen turkeys.

I would have asked what in the world is a stroller, if it weren't for that the quiz told me it was another name for pram, presumably American, as a Brit, I've never heard it. Lots of Brits do say pram, but others, like myself, would be more likely to say buggy.

Because it is usually spelled miaow - so not a four-letter word and so shouldn't be in this quiz (btw, guess which was the only one I got 'wrong').

Perhaps "miaow" is common where you are from, but in the USA it's almost always spelled "meow". I don't think I've ever seen your spelling used before.

The first "s" in "Comic Sans" should be capitalized. Nobody prints in "Times roman" or "Courier new". Failing to capitalize the "s" makes it a somewhat deceptive clue for anyone who doesn't immediately recognize it as the name of a font.

It would be like using "Famous Miami dolphin" as a clue. With the "d" lower-case, instead of thinking of a famous football player, you try to think of an actual aquatic animal that was somehow famous in the Miami area, like Flipper maybe.

Actually, it should be "to each his own" - Each is singular, therefore, the noun should be also.

But "each" is not necessarily a male. In fact, half of them are female.

@AnnikaKim - interesting case, but the grammar rules changed rather recently. Generally, singular they only just started being recognized by mainstream linguists around 2015, and not by a majority until around 2020. Prior to that, the majority of English linguists used the masculine third person pronoun when gender was non-specific, rather than what was more common in vernacular, which was listing both the masculine and feminine pronouns with a forward slash between them, for example "his/her."

Level 69
Oct 8, 2023
It's what someone says to you when they no longer care enough to keep talking about a subject. Maybe you're in an argument/debate and they yield, because they want to move on. It's commonly used and sounds acceptable to say, but it has passive aggressive undertones.

What do you look forward to the most?

Is it your birthday? Or maybe your favorite holiday? How about the day when you see Jesus? We are going to see Jesus very soon, and you better hope you're ready. Once you see Him, there will be no second chances for you. If you feel as if you aren't ready, don't be afraid. Pray to God for guidance, and read the Bible so you know how to be ready. Remember to always look forward to Jesus.

"Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
