Getting really tired of my massively expensive health care company sending me ads for already-free apps in place of actual mental or physical healthcare. No, I don't want to meditate with the "Calm" app or talk to an #AI therapist to help me get over the death of a loved one.

Does anyone else judge people who refer to multiplication by saying "times it by" instead of "multiply it by"? To me, saying "times it by three" is like saying "plus it by three" instead of "add three" - which, I hope we can all agree, would be absurd.
