I wonder if it’s more because we frame the question by altering the structure to indicate the appropriate response.
We could just as well ask “you are from where?” Or “your name is what?” That matches the expected sentence structure of a response, and the natural pitch rises.
Did he toss any paper towels this time?
Maybe we shouldn’t be letting investment bankers make/influence foreign policy. Their motives are clear and perhaps a bit out of touch.
Nothing like a threat to the capital investments of a few very rich people to get the socialized bailout money flowing.
Trump needs to be sentenced.
I got my pet meds handed to me in a paper bag and somehow managed to give myself a paper cut getting the cat into the car while holding this bag. It was the first paper cut I’ve had in years, and my reaction was “I wonder if this is still recyclable.” Still better than plastic bags, I suppose.

To me, that’s even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it’s expected short circuit my reading comprehension.
The “fi” combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.
For legalization, but historically toed the party line.
Similar functionality is actually baked into the kernel!
Absolutely.
Sidenote: I keep seeing “xitter” being used, is it safe to assume it’s pronounced “shitter”?
They’re required by some dog boarding/daycare places.
Oh I have no preconceptions about anonymity here, I just don’t want yet another hackable database with my PII that I don’t need to give up. It’s more of an op sec kind of issue (I say as a former cyber security dev).
Fewer is better!
Yep, totally get it. I’ll squeeze by as long as I can for the sake of privacy.
