    Wonderful, @BenCotto!
    One of my big gripes is the misuse of pallet, palette, and palate. Especially in restaurant reviews.

    Anyone seen in todays papers online, Students at Bristol Uni who identify as a CAT must be given correct pronoun. Is that feline!!! My youngest daughter (retail,) had to go on a course a few years back,was told if someone identified as a toaster,you had to let them. Seriously, the world has gone barmy.

    In our house the cats have always been "he" or "she" (even if technically they're "it").
    I wonder if the grumpy old man-cat wants a different pronoun?

    Hubby had a MALE  cat as a kid called LULU. Do you think it caused trauma?

    I saw it first thing this morning, snorted into my coffee and then ignored it ... afraid I see it so often .......... 

    My particular gripe is discrete and discreet😡

    Are animals allowed in university?
  • I wanted to grow up to be a horse ... my parents told me I couldn't ... I believed them ... was I a fool?  Should I have tried harder?
