A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

For third person singular subjects use “is”.
There is a game. There are games.
Uncountable things use “is”.
There is the forest. There are the trees.
Are there people? Is there a person.
Are we there yet. Is our destination close?
If the subject uses a definite number use “are”.
The team is going to the game.
The fourteen players are going to the game.

Putting your license plate stickers all over the plate rather than where it’s supposed to go should get your vehicle impounded. No one thinks you are clever for making your license plate look like it has a taskbar, Kevin.
It annoys the hell out of me and for the love of god I have never been able to understand why that thing in particular bothers me so much.

English mustard with pork, Dijon with beef. The exception to this rule is that American mustard is acceptable on hotdogs and burgers.
