At least in my dialect (US northeast) clothes and close don’t quite share a pronunciation. They’re similar enough that you could probably fully elide the th sound, and I’m not sure anyone would notice.

When I pronounce clothes I can still feel my tongue move into the th position, and hear a small difference.

IIRC, the Pope is only considered infallible when they say they are. Otherwise they’re just speaking as the highest ranking member. So most of the time what they say is not treated by members of the clergy as the literal word of god.

Maybe other Catholics are more in the know, but this isn’t a distinction I was aware of when I was a practicing Catholic. That might be because the Pope really didn’t come up much at all. I’m sure he influenced policy, but his words seemed to come up in the news, and not really much outside that.

For me it also happens constantly with things like the crossword, which obviously can’t be listening.

Links between folks is part of it, but a lot is just ordinary coincidence.

Maybe English (Malta) if that’s an option

If those are communication apps supported by the bank, that’s the idea. Banks have been hit with huge fines for employees communicating over unapproved channels.

One of the problems with the unapproved channels is that the bank can’t enforce a retention period. So written messages that are supposed to be kept on record for 10 years or whatever can get deleted. In the event of a lawsuit the bank can be fined for not having the messages.

Has-text is case sensitive. Adding / before the keyword and /i after will set it to case insensitive.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain/i)

You can also use | to add multiple keywords to the filter.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain|ChatGPT/i)

I had attributed that to our fuzzy food categories. Some of which are due to how ingredient usage doesn’t map well to botany, some is just marketing.

I suspect the perception of eggs as dairy could have shifted for practical reasons: lactose intolerance became more visible, and we needed a short way to say milk and milk products, without using the word milk.

When poorly written or complex, maybe. I don’t know how often I’ve had to focus on a headline.

Headlines are also written to be attention grabbing. I’d rather headline-specific grammar over clickbait. Maybe there’s a different attention grabbing technique, but for now I’ll gladly settle for headlines if given a choice.

Thanks for this. As a native speaker, it never occurred to me that headlines had separate rules that would be hard to parse as a non-native speaker.

I’m not who you’re responding to, but you may wish to check the first comment in the thread again.

The first comment says “running theme,” which most people would interpret to mean generally.
