thecapston.com/residences/ Fancy calling a flat Like this a ‘suite’. 🙄 ‘Suite’ is a collective noun - meaning more than one. Let’s be clear here - if you’re lying in bed and your feet are pointing at the kitchen sink you are categorically not in a suite!

According to this headline from GB News, Rod Liddle drowned in Cornish ales. If they want to claim to defend ‘British Values’ perhaps they could start by by protecting the nation‘s language from their own ‘journalists’? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey, #crossword crowd. What do we think of the word 'term' as a hidden indicator? Chamber's has it as a "quantity within a series or sequence" [maths], and it does derive from the Latin for 'boundary', but is that too much of a stretch in your opinion?
