This absolutely bizarre iPad advertisement
Is there such a thing as the opposite of an advertisement?

The former German teacher added: ‘I teach the Talk Tyke Course in the same way I taught German. Covering the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing.
‘Since the first course we’ve seen a welcome spike in the number of new members joining the society.’
Rod, who grew up in Bradford, said the dialect has been kept alive by working folk.
He added: ‘It’s because the working class continued speaking dialect that people often wrongly associate it with being uneducated or confuse it with slang.
Here are some phrases pupils could be learning in class if the campaign proved successful…
Baht ‘at: Without a hat
Put wood in t’ole: Would you kindly close the door?
Tha’s reyt Mardy: You’re not in a particularly good mood today
You daft ‘apeth: You fool
Eeh by gum: An expression of surprise or emphasis.
Mither: To bother or annoy
Bairn: Child or baby
NYT today had a story on how Chuck E. Cheese is going to replace its animatronic band with screens.Is there such a thing as the opposite of an advertisement?
When people marry, there are a few options with their names:
Why is nobody swapping last names? Husband takes the last name of the wife, AND wife takes the last name of the husband? That is balanced, fair, and shows committment.
- Often the wife takes the last name of the husband (western cultures)
- Opposite is becoming more common
- Also double names
- Or just no change
Alright, the bureaucracy is annoying for both, I take that.
They took that up in the article. They say no. They say this has been in their thinking since the pandemic.Five nights at Freddy's finish them off?
Doesn't get you anything that compound name doesn't do better.Why is nobody swapping last names?
I watched it (the whole Apple presentation) from end to end. The crushing part was great and came across as I expect Apple wanted it to: iPad can do all of these things in 5.1 mm. Hardcore traditionalists may see it differently. Who is Apple appealing to? Professional with money and who like technology.This absolutely bizarre iPad advertisement

When I married, making wife take my surname was a sign of protection. She is protected by all men in my family now.
You can call it that. My dad calls us "A clan".Dude, are you in the mob
Your first three options give all members of the family the same last name, which is convenient when dealing with kids. Around here, other people tend to assume people with a different last name are not related to a child and create big hassles for the family.When people marry, there are a few options with their names:

Or, you know, a mute person will more easily raise their hand.I'm determined to think of an exception.
The first that occurs to me is this. Some people have a really hard time admitting they were wrong. They might know it, and take active steps to correct for it, but never say it in so many words. For those people, making amends is easier than saying, "I'm sorry."
For the kids, that is again a cultural thing. In the Spanish world that already works different, and you can give the kids still a double name.Your first three options give all members of the family the same last name, which is convenient when dealing with kids.

No change is easy. Changing both may be balanced and fair, but it is a big hassle and has no upsides. There are many other ways to show commitment.
