Deserved

On one hand, as an American, I would have loved to see us win.

On the other, nothing made me happier than seeing our asses get handed to us after Trump played interference.

The way the US goalkeeper lost the ball on the 3rd goal was hilarious. Kicked the ground hard instead of the ball.

waitball, where you spend most of the game waiting for them to do something with the ball

Called so for the fact to stop the guy carrying the ball, you flatten them like a pancake.

Stop reminding me Erling Haaland exists please

So basketball, baseball and handball is basically football too, neat.

Are you proposing to renaming polo to horse golf? This logic is a bit weird but sure.

Football distinguishing it from games played on horseback

The problem with this line of argument is that basketball would also be football, as would baseball, cricket, hockey, and even cycling.

Same. I don't remember when I had the urge to check soccer/football term origins and was pleasantly surprised about it. IIRC it also have some class segregation about it as well (of course it does).

longer than football (soccer) was called just football in Britain

This may blow your mind but there are other countries and they have always called it football (or the localized equivalent).

Why can't it be HandOlive

That's not necessarily why, the origins of the word are lost to the mists of time. Either might be true!

The only good thing about slot screws is that you can use any reasonable flat thing as an emergency screwdriver. And the screwdrivers can serve as a general purpose prying tool I guess. They suck at their official job.

I am constantly camming out cheap Phillips head screws and it drives me crazy

Roberson was also a Canadian, so you're fitting along well in uh... your screw preferences too!

The problem is that manufacturers keep using Phillips screws for high-torque applications.

Just this week I nearly stripped a drill bit installing some curtains and the manufacturer had supplied some Phillips wood screws. I had to keep my entire bodyweight behind it to stop it from camming out. Phillips wood screws shouldn't even exist. They won't even stay on when you put them at the end of your drill. I ended up throwing them away and used my own Robertson screws which went in like a charm.

All of this based on the assumption that people would overtorque fasteners if you didn't use Phillips screws, completely ignoring the fact that this isn't a notable problem for the many manufacturers who use Torx or Allen screws.

Anything Philips can do, Torq can do better. There is already a simple method to prevent furniture damage or any other rare instance where you want the screw head to slip : use the correct sized screw and dont over torque it.

It's because he doesn't smile with his eyes.

Not the problem. Most of his videos are exploiting human misery to makes a few bucks.

The dude made people torture each other, jump in burning houses to make views. That's simply pure evil and not something I intend my child to think it's normal.

Any barely good society would simply shame him out of business .

So, there's some truth to this, but not in the way that you've summed it up.

Crucially, you need to understand that there isn't a "the English accent". It's also important to remember that as wildly different as accents in England are now, they were even more different from each other several hundred years ago.

So which accents are we talking about for this story? Well, the early American colonies had settlers mostly from London and Southern England.

This is the accent that then diverged.

At the time, and in the South of England particularly, speech was becoming less rhotic. In the American colonies, however, it retained its rhoticity, as it still does in many parts of Britain even today.

This is further complicated by the fact that later massive influxes of people came from parts of Britain that did retain rhoticity in their accents, in particular the West Country, Scotland and Ireland (incidentally, all which still have it today).

So, like I said, there's some truth to it, but it's not quite as you've phrased it. Elizabethan Brits didn't sound like modern-day Boston folk. Americans very much have accents all of their own, influenced by not just by native English, but speakers of other languages too.

So, it's definitely a neat little tidbit, but it's usually wildly mistated!

Oh shit apparently this is kinda a thing

Did telegrams use full-stop? They pretty much only used STOP, no?

It seems more likely that your man picked it up from a British influence, like a friend or something.
