Having witnessed my grandfather's progressing dementia before he passed, I would gladly settle for aging as well as Biden has.

It is a means of communication, and can be used in an effective manner or a performative manner like any other means of communication. Those manners may *differ* because different modes are engaged with differently, but the ability to use it either meaningfully or meaninglessly is still there.

Lordi winning Eurovision is my go-to example of why more entries need to be truly weird stuff. It really stands out when you send a hard rock group and everyone else is doing pop of some sort.

Once heard on a radio traffic report in Orlando: "There's an accident at the intersection of Boggy Creek and Boggy Creek. Your alternate route is Boggy Creek. If you're confused, avoid Boggy Creek."

At an absolute minimum, there should be 13 so each circuit has a justice assigned just to that circuit, instead of Roberts having three (4th, DC, and Fed) and Alito (3rd and 5th) and Kavanaugh (6th and 8th) each having two.

I once served as an interpreter between a French teacher from Paris and a Quebecois student, because I could understand each of them but they each claimed they couldn't understand the other person's dialect.

As a semi-outsider (I am not Catholic, but one parent's family is), the spectrum of Catholicism is incredibly dang broad. Everything from liberation theology to straight-up theocratic fascism.

Not this year, unfortunately. Dealing with health problems that are manageable in the long run, but need to be more stable before I do any traveling (balancing the dosage of new medications is fun, said nobody ever).

I see Rah already received (heh) an answer for you from her friend, but for the time period you mention, it should still be RP anyway. It became BBC's standard in 1922, and it was mentioned in the 1890s as being an ideal accent because it gave no indicators of regional identity.

I'm from Philly and spent 30 years in Florida. Somehow I get Yonkers, Newark, and NYC as my three closest, probably because it doesn't ask anything that involves rhoticity.
