What the actual fuck?
When my mother was young, the local custom was for girls and women to wear a red flower, usually rose or carnation, to church on Mother's Day. Unless their mother was dead, when the flower was white. For the rest of her life, almost to 102, it hurt. "Just me and the old ladies, wearing white ones".
I agree with your point. My mother was only 5 when her mother died, and she lived through 96 sad Mother's Days afterwards (made worse by the local customs of her time). But English ignorance about holidays, including using an exclusionary phrase based on one sect of one religion, is always annoying.

But I agree with your main point and also believe that mothers can't be celebrated enough.
Mothering Sunday, in its modern British use, *was* inspired by the US Mother's Day. It existed before, with a completely different meaning - returning to one's "mother church" mid-Lent - but an Englishwoman spotted what was happening in the US and reinvented it ca. 1913-14 to celebrate mothers.
Two of the six service members who died in the crash over Iraq were women -- they can't come up with a better job title than "airmen," especially from a Pentagon that makes up words like "warfighters" all the time?

Mine was about the misspelling rather than the word itself, although it *is* overused.
Note to writers and editors, when I see "lynchpin", I stop reading.

But this is clickbait for half a world away. @nujofficial.bsky.social will still defend pathetic jobs like this. Better to put them out of their misery.
You *know* it's not going to be one of those shown (even woolybacks wouldn't be foole), but the airlines should consider legal action against Newsquest and Gannett.

(Like every god-fearing Englishman) I'd put hypocrisy near the top of my list of political sins. And watching Keir 'it's a two horse race' Starmer flinging accusations of 'populism' at Greens (and Reform) whilst leading a Government of conspicuous liars and populists is so grim.

And even the "military academy" gives a misleading impression. Nothing like West Point, for example, but a secondary school where troubled rich boys of his generation were packed off to, to get discipline instilled. In his case, even that was in vain.
