  • If you could get something for free the whole year, what would it be?

  • That's a bit harsh. When I say someone is envious as opposed to jealous, I am trying to convey a particular meaning. It doesn't bother me if someone uses the terms interchangeably as I can usually work out what they mean, but I do like my communication to be as clear as possible.

  • What are your grammar bugbears?

    Jump

  • Abberant apostrophes (and missing ones).

    Sentences that miss out words for no reason: e.g. "A couple things" vs. "A couple of things".

    Confusing envy and jealousy.

  • I remember sitting in the bar of the Post Hotel, Lake Louise Village with a glass of Dalwhinnie, listening to the pianist play the Jurassic Park theme just to see if anyone would recognise it. I was overwhelmed by the realisation that I was living one of my dreams to visit Western Canada, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I admit I cried.

    Also, what a wonderful hotel! I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

  • So why hasn't someone salvaged the gold coins yet? Seems odd, and the article offers no answer.

  • You wake up and everyone is gone, electricity and gas is still running but not internet or phone. What do you do?

  • I'm just a cynical Brit (with Canadian blood) but my initial reaction was: "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss".

  • True, but given that Trump has put tariffs on uninhabited islands in the Arctic (I believe), it's still an interesting point to make.

    Edit: spelling.
