I've heard some either Australian or British or both that pronounce H as something close to Hayche. Using a similar accent, and making it a bit hard to hear by mumbling or something, Hayche and age can sound similar.

Hayche is of course made up, but that's how it feels to me to write it, but I'm no linguist, and I don't know how to write in pronunciation guides.

In certain accents, age and H sound similar.

Very possible st stops. I've done it once, shocking myself more than the other driver.

I think they technically do, with stuff like Helldivers 2, Spiderman games, etc. I have Helldivers 2, but stopped playing it for a while in protest when they tried to make you use a PlayStation account for it, essentially cutting off a bunch of players in countries PlayStation doesn't operate in.

The chart should be somewhat descriptive in the correlation, and usually processing in intensity. The single death count having two different levels of funny isn't really explained by the chart, which isn't a real statistical analysis which might have odd data points like that, but instead is an extra joke.

As a joke, it doesn't portray itself well if the axies aren't swapped. When swapped, the joke is pretty obvious and understandable.

The necessity of food, shelter, and medicine that requires paid transactions or your character is permanently dead goes contrary to a free to play model.

Sure, but my point was general consensus. For the purposes of this discussion, I'll use the US. According to Pew (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/06/06/us-public-private-and-charter-schools-in-5-charts/) 83% of k-12 students went to public schools. Many of our parents couldn't afford to send it to private if they wanted to.

This of course varies by country, googling for a few countries (Japan, UK, Germany) actually all betrayed my expectations,with higher public school percentages for primary schools than the US. They generally do have different grade structures though. Edit: for those 3, primary/grade school went to 4th or 6th grade.

Personally elementary/grade school was up to 5th grade, 6-8th was middle, 9-12 high school. Technically I started school in Saint Vincent, in what I believe was a private school, but we moved back to the US when I was in 2nd grade going to third.

They do, though they damage knives.

Probably, but I have just the one wood one. I also don't put the wood one in the dishwasher to sterilize etc, and the more important thing is keeping them separate. I'll probably get a wood one for meat at some point.

Edit: bought more wood ones today even.

I also have different cutting boards for meat and raw things. My wood cutting board isn't for meat.

Agreed, doesn't make sense to me otherwise.

Generally not understood as such though. I would say common vernacular is more accurate to the intended meaning than the technical truth
