Wish our speed bumps were like that. Most of them have a hemispherical cross section and there's no way you can go over them at more than 10mph without complaint from passengers.
The more I look at it, the more I agree. Though some people would suggest you're casting them as multiple people with "are".
I'm not sure there is an example where you can't replace "is it" with "are they" in English, albeit several style manuals would disagree.
The last business writing course I saw insisted that conversational English was preferred anyway, yet still had an opinion on the Oxford Comma; they didn't like it.
No. "What is they wearing" is not English, unless you're an "Asian" caricature in English popular culture, in which case more correct is "What is they wearing, Blud?"
the right answer for the prom example is technically, "what is he wearing?".
Umm no? There's no "masculine preferred", also style guides are not "the English language", they're usage guides for the language; "What is she wearing?" is perfectly correct if they happen to be a female queen.
As to style guides, here's part of the 2006 version of the AP guide mentioned:
transgender Use the pronoun preferred by the individuals who have acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or present themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth. If that preference is not expressed, use the pronoun consistent with the way the individuals live publicly.
So you either get told he or she, or pick one based on how they "live publicly", which doesn't work for everyone.
But now, from a WaPo memo:
It is usually possible, and preferable, to recast sentences as plural to avoid both the sexist and antiquated universal default to male pronouns and the awkward use of he or she, him or her and the like: All students must complete their homework, not Each student must complete his or her homework.
When such a rewrite is impossible or hopelessly awkward, however, what is known as “the singular they” is permissible: Everyone has their own opinion about the traditional grammar rule. The singular they is also useful in references to people who identify as neither male nor female.
What we really don't need is a "new series of words", what we need is people who are a vanishing proportion of the population to get proportional attention. Now, that's not to say if they're a friend or a colleague you can't learn their pronouns as a courtesy, but to suggest everyone everywhere at all times needs to stop and ask what your pronouns are is too much effort and just feeds the ego of people who insist on such accommodations being made.
You may disagree, in which case I would like you to henceforth refer to me as "Lord Zaelath, first of Zher name".
It could be "is he", "is she" or "is it", or even some other gender neutral pronoun construct, but you'd have to know the person to know what their pronouns are; which is why this stuff is so fraught, I shouldn't need a pronunciation guide to avoid offending people, but while "it"/should/ be acceptable, it is not.
You can't replace "queen" with "winner" because there is also generally a "king" and neither of them "win" the prom.
I can't help read, "What is the queen wearing?" in Chandler Bing's voice with appropriate comedic/searching pauses; "What is... the.. queen wearing?"
Yeah, that's what immediately came to mind for me, certainly not "Everyone needs to be sure to tighten he safety belt before approaching the cliff" as the article suggests. They probably mean "his" but it's just a really poor example because of "everyone".
Better perhaps; "The Dean of Medicine gave a scathing speech this afternoon." "Really? What did ____ say?".
Not only is that a common example where people's unconscious bias would insert "he", but it's a perfectly acceptable place to say "they" in speech for an individual.
And for illustrating this actual argument; "The prom queen is dressed unusually" "Why? What _____ wearing?" in that sentence "are they" makes no sense, unless the prom queen is conjoined twins.
How's your retirement savings going? How would if be if the government took it on a whim? That's the ehart of conservatism in America - a government without the power to fuck you.
That's just bullshit.
Conservatives give more to charity, and all of progressivism is the search for moral superiority.
So is that.
But I bet that quote was from the 80s (or before), the era of televangelists, before the parties swapped the role of moral scold.
My quote is from 2002, yours is from 1875 (http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/24/heart-head/)
You should have prefaced that comment with your age. Also "conservative" and the party you vote for are different things.
Way way older than 30, and make a decent living (enough that I pay 37% tax at the top end, plus sales tax on what I do get to keep) I just don't feel the need to own everything in the world to be happy.
The oldquote is "If you're under 30 and conservative, you have no heart. If you're over 30 and liberal you have no money."
Quotes are awesome, though I prefer: "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

Yeah, you remember one "good" password for your OS, the rest is in a key management system like KeePass or similar. That's why I went to great lengths to disassociate the password for your OS from the general case. But you know, people are idiots as you say...
The only reason to flip is if you have greed combined with stupidity; the right doesn't do anything for the middle-class and if you were rich you'd probably be right-wing from birth.
Those articles are all about passwords that you're: a) forced to type (Windows Login for example), b) forced to change regularly, and c) required to ensure different to other passwords (She mentions 6 government passwords because you're not allowed to have the same password on all 6 systems)
For that limited case she's undeniably correct, but changing passwords itself isn't a bad idea. A better idea is using a different 20 characters of random entropy on every website, but you can change those occasionally too.. it's fine.
The same page you linked suggests the MMR came out 2 years prior to your initial vaccination and 11 years before your boosters. Are you/sure/ your immunization records are specific as to what needles were used and not just what you were immunized against? Who even has such a thing 44 years later...
Regardless, the window of MMR "trials" is 46 years vs maybe 2 years for 3x injections since Rubella vaccine was last "to market", so that article was a little overstated, but still "pulled from the market" is bullshit. That's like saying buggy whips were "pulled from the market".
Because that's a bullshit straw man argument? They weren't pulled from the market because they never existed as separate vaccines anywhere in the world; http://www.hpsc.ie/A-Z/Vaccine...
No? Apart from *nix cracklib, it's not common at all, and in the example would just force you to use "D3nver17!" anyway, which is still prone to dictionary attack.

Would you still make that argument if you had to pay the real cost of the Ubers you took? Probably around 3x what they charged you for every ride.

That's an inane argument. There's plenty of evidence for causation in the linked studies, and your lunchtime straw man argument is irrelevant.
You need more than hurr correlation durr causation to make a case.
Yes. You'd lose too much efficiency running diesel generators for electric pumps.
Of course, you're trusting the client-side code to encrypt it etc. but that's no different to trusting client-side keepass.
Yes it is, quite different, think about it again in terms of trust.
Best answer yet. If the client is really that concerned they should be building a shielded facility to work in.
