Reminds me of a girlfriend years ago who was getting married and told me she had registered for this beautiful "soup latrine".

Strange how both have parallels in reality. The soup will eventually end up in the latrine. Maybe these people are more clever than we give them credit for.

As in waivos rancheros?

I see prejudice and bias used as adjectives a lot. Kids aren't born prejudice, but they can grow up to be such bias people.

Yes. Waivos rancheros. Why mangle just your own language when you can be a multilingual mangler.


The rampant misuse of “bias/biased” on this forum is extremely annoying. Every time I see it, I want to post this link.

bias/biased


But, I'm afraid that would be a full-time job.




The link contains this...See also “prejudice/prejudiced."

It's archaic English, like learnt, burnt, dreamt, spoilt, and so on. I'm not sure if smelt is the current standard British English past tense of smell, but if the person is not a native speaker the error is understandable.
