If you're going to kill yourself anyway, why not just acquiesce? (To Russia.) This question may be stupid depending on the reader but I'm asking sincerely.

One is transparent and the other feels like a lie.

Not in principle, but in practice.

Children have never been more affordable than they are now. People's wants and expectations have changed.

It's one of those things American pseudo intellectuals do because they think it's more correct and want to sound superior. Maybe they heard a professor say it that way or read it in a book. Anything but actually process why the a/an distinction exists.

My point is that it's based on pronunciation. I didn't mean to offend you.

They do, but only because it's been adopted from British media and literature. You might even say it's a symptom of being over-read, if that's possible.

"An historic" is certainly used in the US, but it's wrong in all contexts.

It depends on if you're speaking British or American English.

The British pronounce it as "istory," so they use "an" before.

Such reason deprives people of the passion to take sides and argue emotionally.

I'm surprised that better science never resulted from that lady who could smell it.

That's why people come here, they learn these things in the comments.

There are rovers on Mars already that landed on the first try. The approach was rigorous planning and study with the highest standards.

It doesn't mean the approach SpaceX is taking isn't valuable in some contexts, but it's certainly not the only method.

They said less than 1% of users were affected.

As someone with no knowledge of the topic, why was electrical reform needed? Wouldn't one assume that either party motivated to do it while in power would be doing it with the goal of positively affecting the outcome for their party in the future? It would seem weird for a candidate to reform how voting works knowing it could negatively affect their side, right?

Regardless of the hyperbole in the title, it's an interesting find. I wonder where they were going and what happened to them.
