What an ignorant man. Armani, Gucci, Yves Saint-Laurent, Prada, and all major fashion designers were men. Even major chefs are men. Every man should know how to live independent with basic life skills such as cooking, cleaning, etc.

"Detail" is singular and plural but people slap on an "s" at the end for plural even though that is incorrect.

One of the most corrupt practice of misusing taxpayer's money is when #TOpoli City of Toronto pays employees their regular pay AND also election poll days worked. AND when those days fall on statutory holidays, they get extra pay 1.5x for the two jobs.
