Ok, good point. So what are you trying to say? That the general public should use the more specific word for the benefit of mathematicians?

Except that arithmetic still qualifies as maths even if it is only barely, whereas a golf cart doesn't qualify as a sports car. It's more like saying "vehicle" when you mean "kid's bicycle "; it's still technically true even though it isn't the most sophisticated.

For the general public that's a distinction without a difference

Ever heard of cash?

Service vs leadership is a false dichotomy. You can (and should) be a leader who serves. Mamdani is serving NYers in a leadership position. He makes the calls and has the responsibility for decisions that serve his constituents.

How much "considering" can you do when your employee has given a softball interview to a modern-day Oswald Mosley?

Public transport is one of the only ways teenagers (among many other vulnerable groups) can get some independence in a very car-centric society. You'd be fighting an uphill battle trying convince people to exclude kids from the public transport system.

The fact that you call kilometers "klicks" does my head in since the rest of the English speaking world shortens it to "kays"

I had to go in-person to a branch with ID, but once I was there it was pretty quick.

It's not surprising: Southwestern Sydney wakes up earliest because they have to, the journo probably thought it was Bondi because they're an eastern suburbs yuppie, and the "article" is a shameless ad for an iced coffee company. Don't post this dogshit.

I could also be wrong but I think for major construction projects the state government gives out the permits.
