And yet whiskey is still the wrong spelling of the word for scotch. This isn’t a point of view or an opinion. It’s literally a legal mandate.

So brave of you to keep being demonstrably wrong.

The spelling of Scotch whisky (no ‘e’) is enshrined in law. It’s legally whisky and not whiskey. Why are you doubling down on being wrong? Do you just like arguing on the internet?

… and what they say is: “If you’re talking about a dram that’s been made in Scotland… use the spelling without the e—whisky.”

I mean, they have different spellings and mean different things, but sure, you do you, man.

Most of the stuff you interact with daily is much more easily measured in feet and inches vs meters and centimeters…

… only if it’s what you’re used to.

If you’re drinking scotch you’re drinking whisky not whiskey.

IMPORTANT SCIENCE IS BEING DONE!

I genuinely knew a kid at university who did this. He also had four piles for clothes (because why hang shit up, right?). There was:

• clean
• almost as good as clean (worn once or twice)
• good enough (worn up to six or seven times).
• dirty (basically once it got ‘crunchy’).

I have a dishwasher, why do I need a clothes washer as well?

Tribal mentality. A lot of people conform to the ‘Hate them… not you though, you’re one of ours’ mindset.

“Fucking hate poofs. Not Barry though, he grew up around here, he’s alright.”

“We should shoot all the [insert racist bollocks here]. Not Abdul who runs the corner shop though, he calls me ‘boss’ when I go in.”

Etc. If only their sense of tribe extended a bit further.

Sweet baby Cheezus, the fucking noobs here, man.

Right way around.
Inside out.
Back to front.
Inside out and back to front.

That’s just one pair, nimrod.

You numpty, you’ve dropped your banana down the hole. We’ll never know how big it is now!

This is the way.

Splitters!

Yeah, but how many times have you run into that streetpost?

Ruh Roh!

Isn’t America all about free speech?

We’re going through a shaky patch in the UK right now, with fascist wannabes like Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage rising in popularity. It’s sad because I thought we were better than that but then Brexit happened and I wouldn’t be surprised if our next government was a Reform majority. And if they get in they’ll do everything they can to secure power forever.

What keeps me hopeful, in the face of this shitstorm, is the sense of community in my neighbourhood. People on my street look out for each other and support each other.

For the young ones…

Fucking autoincorrect (or lack of sleep but I’m going to blaim the computer, of course! Thank you and I shall correct forthwith!
