The English word ‘speaker’ has multiple meanings. In Hungarian, there is a different word for a speaker device that casts sound (hangszóró, “sound caster”) and Speaker of the House of Parliament (házelnök, “president of the house”).

Still, when googling one, you may get results for the other. 🤷

It’s probably from an hour long portrait interview, in which they cover a lot of ground including favourite English literary pieces, and the interviewer tries to tie it to the guest. They would probably ask David Beckham which Harry Potter character he’d have on his football team.

If you ever feel useless just remember somebody designed and implemented the share-to-facebook feature on porn sites.

“Sir” goes with first name or full name, e.g. Sir Isaac or Sir Isaac Newton, but never Sir Newton.

Pete was Heard, but was he Listened To?

Nicely corrected, thanks.

Maybe, this sentence, out of context. The rest of the post makes it abundantly clear that the ages of these things go:
mountains -> bones -> dinosaurs

The poster may either be a victim of Poe’s Law, in which case their “joke” wasn’t very funny, or they could be making the logical deduction as you describe but as a mistake. I thought it was the latter.

The original sentence is consistent with the assertion that the mountains had formed before the first boney ancestors of dinosaurs evolved. This is also consistent with the presented timeline.

The correction would mean that the mountains may be older or younger than dinosaurs, because they are only older than bones, and the article is deafeningly silent on the issue of whether dinosaurs had bones.

It’s a failure of literacy on the poster’s part, hence the downvotes.

You didn’t queue up twice when they were handing out verbal reasoning skills…

Nothing, I this person I know of just had FF and adblock set up already for other reasons, so all I they had to do was stop the youtube app hijacking its own links.

Several words: mobile Firefox, ad block, disable youtube app, disable known links to youtube.
