@ifixcoinops Counter-opinion: I’ve been hearing an increased use of singular forms like that with singular-They and think we’re just about on the cusp of that being acceptable in writing too because everyone doing it in speech.

Which is to say, “They doesn’t” and “they has” look just fine to me.

That said, in terms of tools to help you could use something like Compromise to search for all the combinations of “They ” and narrow from there. compromise.cool/

I find the "believe in" weak:

"I don't believe in ."
How can you not? You see them everywhere.

"I don't endorse, support, use elevators."
Oh, I can understand that.

I insist - today more so than ever - that the of the "to tweet" should include the past simple form "twat"

Example: Today at William Shatner.

I am working on fictitious "empirical evidence" I can present to my players as plot hooks. So far I have produced a handful of "intercepted memoranda" detailing enemy plans for imminent a) expansion, or b) attack. I've also been developing a style for "precognitive premonitions" to which one PC has access. Depicting calamity, these visions are also maybe too vague: "head off the attack" is a middling sort of to give players, however.

What can they do but show up? Needs more hook.

Is an action a verb or a noun? Verbs are used to describe actions, and actions themselves are nouns in ENGLISH. You need to normalize a verb to turn it into a noun. It is a verb based language.

In Japanese it is the opposite in most cases. 話 (はな, meaning "speaking") is a noun. 話す(meaning "to speak") is the verb which is really 話 + する, where する mean "to do". It is a noun based language.

In Cantonese and Mandarin, 話 can be used as both a noun and a verb without any modification.

Spotted "my dating" instead of "me dating" in c1966. I was surprised to see the former more frequent at all times in (books.google.com/ngrams/graph?), but I'm guessing "dating" is less reliant on the "date" than, say, "doing", and in fact, the pattern flips for "my doing" vs "me doing" (books.google.com/ngrams/graph?).

Das starke *streuke/a- (> strjúka 'streichen') hat eine Nebenform *strūke/a- gehabt (zum Nebeneinander im Germanischen vgl. jstor.org/stable/40849509#meta), wie die Ableitung strûchôn sw.v. 'straucheln' < *strūkōje/a- zeigt.
Diese Lautung ist sogar belegt in hūþstrūka st.v. 'auspeitschen' (vgl. Noreen, Altschwedische §528 Anm. 3), was aber in die Literatur bisher keinen Eingang gefunden hat.
