Media mistakes

[Black Hole]

Data from the UK regulator, the MHRA, suggests just 0.0008 per cent of the 500,000 reports of side effects from the Pfizer jab, and 0.0004 per cent of reports linked to the Moderna jab, relate to cancer.

 

[gomezz]

Four and two then. And what does "relate to" mean in this context?

 

[EEPhil]

I'm missing something here. Why do you think that's a "Media mistake"?

Since when was "lotion" a verb?

Since when was "lotion" a verb?

I don't know. It appears in the OED online as a verb but, because I don't have a subscription, I can't see the (obvious) definition. Not listed as a verb in my 1990 Concise Oxford dictionary. Another one of the many words that are being used and abused. I'd like to know when problems became issues. It irks me, but everyone uses it.

OMG! So not a media mistake after all, just a resurrection of defunct usage. It sets my teeth on edge in the Dove advert, as a "trendy gender-fluid" trans-verb/noun.

It sets my teeth on edge in the Dove advert,

Most adverts set my teeth on edge. Especially as they are repeated ad infinitum.

I'd like to know when problems became issues.

Around the same time that effects became impacts.

Most adverts set my teeth on edge.

What's an advert?

 

[gomezz]

It is more that it is yet to be determined if an issue is a problem or not.

 

[EEPhil]

Around the same time that effects became impacts.

Impact assessment - creates a bloody great hole!

What's an advert?

You could ask BH as he used the term

Dove advert,

But I would have thought everyone knows an ad/advert is an advertisement.

It is that bit that you avert by skipping over it by going to the next bookmark ...

Would the verb of that action be to Subvert

 

[prpr]

Would the verb of that action be to Subvert

In your case it might be pervert.

 

[trog]

In your case it might be pervert.

In your case without doubt there would be no vert just sub, just take the medicine and get over it bitch boy, your endless sobbing of me hurting your delicate feelings many years ago is more than a little bit tiresome and only confirms my opinion of you back then still being correct now.

 

[Black Hole]

Was that an intentional link to the character in my vid?

Hardly. I was a parody of the modern shift of nouns into verbs, eg "party".

Your're still the fucking nasty bastard you always have been. You're so smart though as to post a tracking number leading to your own address. How clever you are(n't).

You reap what you sow you sad little bitter man.

EDIT....I see you have added to your post. Is that supposed to be a threat little man? I have nothing to hide so bring it fool.
