Was about to likewise protest that prams are still a thing but then I remembered that I was a baby nearly 30 years ago and I don't remember the last time I saw one... It would be a shame if they'd completely fallen out of favour
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.
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 beat the average score by quite a lot. Pleasant surprise. Despite not knowing the shrek answer! Wish the site was more mobile friendly though. Difficulty scrolling up and down even on high end smartphone.
@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."
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.
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."
Lucky you.
