Not a large number but then it is the cause that is depressing, we are undergoing a heat wave that has lasted most of two months now. The place i live in has recorded its highest ever temperature so far in May, 43 C was common enough for us in the summer but this year we have touched 45C and gone beyond it a bit.

From: What Was So Bad About the Gold Standard?

Source: What Was So Bad About the Gold Standard? Like everything else under the sun, the response to this is "It Depends". Out here Gold has value because the women folk cannot do without it.

The world is a horrible and very stupid place to be

Rape is considered to be a heinous crime, one of the worst things a human can do to another. Society is unanimous in its condemnation of the act, and the convicted.

Gah!

Incorrect : "Without further Adieu" : Adieu is farewell... without further farewell? Correct: "Without further ado" Incorrect: "Shear stupidity" : a shear is a scissor or a hedge trimmer. It is also a tool to cut the wool from a sheep. Now if one were referring silliness involved while tending to farm animals or hedges, it would be correct. Correct: "Sheer stupidity" Incorrect: "Rouge attack" : rouge is either a cosmetic or a color, unless one is referring the act of being assailed by cosmet
