In more pertinent life and death discussions, Professional Bad Bitch you getting whole house water filtration? I’ll be broke for more than a year at this rate. 😂😭

Peter Kazanjy Lewis Campbell Paul Graham But how can you advance the argument that delve is a simpler Anglo Saxon word and in the same breath maintain the view that it’s overly ornate like other Latin words.

You’ll tell me what both of you are really up to, cos this is no platonic neighbor!

Where does it end?

How many more unknown quirks do people have to conform to?

You dislike the word 'delve.'
