Loosing? Learn the English language, people!

Now, that would be silly!

I am currently slightly concerned about the 'pairing' knives on the knife porn thread, will their offspring be teaspoons?

That's where butter knives come from.

'Pared back', when used to mean simple/minimal for boring aesthetic considerations, always annoyed me a little to be fair.

It feels like it's gone from meaning something akin to "there's nothing left, I'm hungry now" to something much less visceral

As already mentioned, threshold was the word they were looking for.

The context was relating to deductions from their pay, they felt should not have paid income tax due not reaching the threshold for taxation.
I should have left the word tax at the end of their sentence.
I really wanted to reply with "threshold" in my answer at least 5 times but ended up not being a dick and glazing over it

I'm well aware of what to pare means, a paring knife is one made for fine cutting in the culinary sense. A pairing knife would be something else altogether....

oh sorry, yeah i was just talking about a separate language niggle, not trying to school you on kitchen knives

being a dick and glazing over it

Hehehe

a paring knife is one made for fine cutting in the culinary sense. A pairing knife would be something else

I’m a bit lost here, is the above a typo or is there something about these knives a nasty foreigner like myself cannot hope to understand?

paring knife exist
Pairing knife is a misspelling of paring.

pare the 'i' from 'pairing' using a pair of paring knives, or something

Isn't difficulty in phonological decoding of homophones a typical trait of dyslexia?

Trate

Am I giving someone too much credit by thinking that might've been dictated to a phone?

Scissors? Or sissors if you're a moron.

pare of sissors, obvs

That is a non secateur.

😂

The shear gall of it

Cut it out

There is something that is becoming more irritating by the day. Everywhere I read online is afflicted by people dropping the 'd' in and. It's getting on my tits an I don't like it. Yeah, I know.

If it wasn't for people mis-peaking, we wouldn't have oranges.

A fun malapropism used by a work colleague today: "it's a movable beast".
