@JustinDerrick @mayintoronto shallots are hardly ever confused with green onions -- the former are almost egg-shaped and covered in brown skin, whereas the latter are long and green turning to white at the roots, with no noticeable bulb
but scallions? they are the same thing as green onions, and these names are often confused

i like this pic because it shows the actual size of the moon in the sky, and i really have to smile at people who believe they can tell the difference in size between this and a "supermoon" (at perigee) which is all of 14% bigger

"Instead, make sure to throw it out and return it to where it was purchased."

2.47 GST which is 41 cents per tallboy

why do police always say "driver remained on scene" when the driver is required by law to remain on scene?
because it shows the driver is law-abiding

"the plural is more gender neutral than the singular"
correct
if it's a single female, for example, you wouldn't say "okay, look, guy, it's like this"
it'd be "okay, look, babe, it's like this"
