What is one hill you will die on?

[whitetip]

One opinion that you have that will never waver, no matter what?..

This ^ and I will never change my mind. Standards now are so low it’s embarrassing x

You are wrong I believe, but this is a matter of opinion; just like the presence and correctness of the Oxford comma.

It’s absolutely pathetic and embarrassing seeing the seething, uninformed hatred on this site and others. I’m so sorry that your daughter is so afraid, you sound like a lovely mum!

Animal rights
Women's rights

Nothing justifies inflicting suffering on animals. Not food, not cosmetics, not medicine.

I also do think that if someone is proven to have murdered, they should face the death penalty.

Can you provide evidence that this happens in the UK please?

One cuts, one chooses

I don't have a hill to die on, at least I don't think I do. I like to think I'm flexible in my mindset and open to learning and happy to change my opinions if I become better educated.

The grammar one in particular, as a hill to die on, is very closed minded and really quite depressing. Not everyone has the benefit of a basic education, let alone a good one and many are simply not as clever as you - I'm certainly not clever and I didn't really come through school well never mind further/higher education. I try to pick things up along the way but the bottom line is I just don't know the grammatically correct detail that is your hill to die on

@keye i agree.

Absolutely! They way a partner colleague etc treat others, be it cleaner waiter retail staff, speaks volumes.

That was a contraversal one. Apparantly the SNP politicians had not realised those signs were behind them. Although, why were they there? Very surprised as one of the women pictured is an extremely principled person and supporter of Feminism.

I think it's more embarrassing that you have no empathy or understanding that we haven't all had the same opportunity nor do we all have the same ability to learn.

Oh, and the x

I wholeheartedly agree with this, but see that there are women campaigning to gain membership of the men-only Garrick Club.
My worry is that this provides ammunition for those men seeking unfettered access to women's safe spaces.

Add to that those with dyslexia and those for who English is not their first language.

Really?
In this country?
I don't think that's true.

Agree

But why the use of the Oxford comma and shouldn’t it be “they”?

Hmmm.

’I’d like to thank my parents, Beyoncé and God,’

or

’I’d like to thank my parents, Beyoncé, and God.’

so sometimes you do.

Weed is a terrible drug but is never seen as one.

That the people who stand still on the moving walkway at the airport, rather than continuing walking, should be immediately shot on the spot, by a sniper in a special crow's nest installed in the ceiling.

In reality? That "everyday" racism and sexism matters, is never "just a joke", and should always be called out, no matter how awkward it makes the situation.

I was offering you sympathy because you said your heart was breaking, and that your daughter was terrified to leave the house.

Your reaction to me offering you sympathy does make me wonder how effective you might be in moving people over to your point of view…

Languages evolve and change because they are living. Do some of you really want to speak Latin, or Chaucer’s English?

Older words in English that have survived in the States, such as gotten, are reviled on here as being incorrect by the very people who resist change. It makes no sense!

@Ebokebok

It is another think coming, whether or not it is the hill you'd die on.

It's "if you think that, you have another think coming".
