Thank you, I was a wee teenager when he was in office, which is probably why I don't know him.

Hopefully it isn't too long ago and the younger demographic will know who he is.

Never heard of him.

Doesn't say anything about his ability to rule, it's just the first time I've heard the name.

Partly correct, it's owned by the Canadian-American RBI alongside Burger King and Popeye's, which is 30% owned by 3G Capital, a Brazilian investment firm.

Ah come on, Peg city ain't that bad! Just wear chain mail.

(I do have a soft spot for Saint Boniface though)

Who are you with? There isn't much choice outside of Quebec.

Feel free to decline if it's a small bank, don't doxx yourself either 😉

And that's not the fault of individuals, but of a failing education system.

Blaming individuals for what is a systemic failure could make them less receptive to change.

Take solace in knowing that literacy rates are the highest they've ever been in history, the fact that most words are correct is an incredible feat.

Most people think how they speak rather than how they write, which means homophones are quite difficult for the average person, and near impossible without thinking about it hard and remembering the rule every time if you're dyslexic.

In all seriousness though, you appear to have hyperlexia, I do too and I shared your frustration for many years until I understood that fact and, as a result, sympathized a bit more with those who don't.

I can find double spaces anywhere in text, I know a word or sentence looks "wrong" just by looking at it without necessarily being able to explain the grammar rule behind it, and my brain stops reading at misspelled words as it can't comprehend them, it can be frustrating at times. It's usually comorbid with neuro-divergence.

You should probably be nicer to those who aren't blessed with it, the poster above might even be dyslexic and have great difficulty with reading and writing as a result. If that's the case, we should celebrate the fact that most of the words are correct! 🎉
