Love that last comment on ESL and grammar! ChazInAz May 2024 #84

The term ESL persists because it's what most people are familiar with. wnylib May 2024 #85

You're fucking kidding, right? He wants to deny women the right to vote. If he's not an incel... AnrothElf May 2024 #46

While we do (around here especially) treat the word "incel" as meaning "right-wing misogynist"... Silent3 May 2024 #56

I wonder if you and I are defining the word differently. Jeebo May 2024 #59
