It's actually only recently that I realised there's no Clippy anymore and wondered where it'd gone. Not that I miss it .. not at all.. just always turned it off, so I guess it took a while to notice it was totally gone.

I would assume you were joking; except that Islam is not an adjective. Israel is predominantly Jewish. Russia (a large portion of which is in Asia) is predominantly Orthodox Christian. Other Orthodox countries in Asia include Georgia, Armenia, and Cyprus. The Philippines are predominantly Catholic though there are evangelical and other Christian minorities, and Mindanao and other southern islands are mostly Muslim. There are sizable Christian minorities in China, India, Japan, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Iran, Syria, Jordan, and Israel among other places.

I would also assume that the number of Christians is actually much higher than reported. Conversely the amount of people that genuinely follow Islam is probably much lower.

oh and East Timor is also Catholic. Which is likely the main reason they declared independence from Muslim Indonesia. Singapore is a very diverse place with lots of different religions.

you might want to reread on Fluoride. It seems to not help at all against tooth decay, on the contrary, and it is very poisonous and can cause all kinds of health problems.

Fluoride in the water to help teeth is a giant scam. Glad most of the world (including OECD countries no longer partake). I have a tertiary science degree, so you, QuizWol, take your smug attitude where the sun don't shine (and no that's not a flat earth reference).

You may have a tertiary science degree, but I don't know what use that is to anyone. I am just a simple dentist with 30+ years experience and have lived & worked in areas that have both fluoridated water supplies and non-fluoridated water supplies. The difference in incidence of tooth decay amongst children is stark. There are far less children with tooth decay in the fluoridated water areas. Anyone who suggests water fluoridation is a scam is, quite simply, wrong.

I suggest people read this article before commenting further:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation_controversy

According to the article, the scientific consensus is that flouridation is both safe and effective. However, there are a minority within the scientific community who dispute this. There are also a lot of conspiracy theories. My favorite is that flouridation was a communist plot to sap the brainpower of Americans.

It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. Have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water or rainwater? And only pure grain alcohol?

The communist plot conspiracy theory is definitely a case of post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

Given the context maybe I should explain further. This is the logical fallacy of mistaking the succession of two events to mean that the earlier event caused the latter.

I've always wondered why the English changed the word marquis to marquess with a female suffix.

What gives?

Thanks for pointing that out. I learned something!

I had always assumed the Marquess was a woman. It turns out it's an alternate spelling of marquis, the male form. It's an unusual -ess ending masculine.

Wikitionary tells me that the female form is marchioness or simply marquise like the original French.

I guess you already know all that but it's a cool piece of lexicology that could easily come up in a quiz. ("Name a masculine word that ends in -ess") So worth pointing out here! Thanks!
