There were. Geese, too.

A huge step!

Ahhh, it’s been too many years since I watched this!

AI also does “not only … but also” a lot, often incorrectly.

Yup!

Yes.

My friend Paige taught two-year-olds, and she liked to sing them their anthem, which went like this: "No NO no no, NO no no no no!" She said they loved it.

Wonderful!

So true!

My thinking precisely.

My teenage son always insisted on referring to it as "Call of the Midwife"

Huh, that's odd. My BrE clients seem to use "amidst."

I'm so sorry, Sylvia.

As someone from the U.S., I have never heard a fellow American say "trodden on."

My daughter would repeatedly and patiently say to me, after hearing me talk to the dog, "Mom, she doesn't actually understand English."

And I hope that woman comes to her senses, should you see her again.
