Yep, now if you’re trapped under debris and need help, you need to extricate yourself, go find FEMA and ask for assistance. I know it seems counterintuitive, but you just have to pull yourself up by your own boots straps. Anything else is fraud waste and abuse.

Buckwheat English muffins layered with tangy cultured vegetables, creamy avocado slices, fresh tomato, and crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds, finished with a drizzle of olive oilβ€”a colorful, nutrient-dense open-faced sandwich.

Number vs. Amount πŸ“
Number = countable things (number of people, books, ideas)

Amount = uncountable things (amount of water, time, courage)

Never say β€œamount of people”—the implication is awful! People aren’t a substance.

Quick test: Can you make it plural? Use β€œnumber.” No? Use β€œamount.”

I’ve always wondered how you pronounce XTIANβ€”is that SHTEE-uhn? EKS-chun? EX-tee-an?

πŸ“š Quick note: "Homage" pronunciation πŸ“š

Standard: HOM-ij
(H pronounced) β†’ "*a* homage"

Some use silent-H versions (oh-MAHZH), leading to "an homage," but the traditional pronunciation ("a homage") remains standard in formal writing.

Compare: "an honest bloke" vs. "a house"

I believe this would be proper AP style in this case:

Katy Perry unaware she was already chosen to be jettisoned in space emergency

CMOS style would be:

Katy Perry Unaware She Was Already Chosen to Be Jettisoned in Space Emergency

Both with corrected grammar.

The correct demonym is Salvadoran.

According to the Chicago Manual of Style and most reputable dictionaries and usage guides, the proper form is:

β€’ Person from El Salvador: a Salvadoran

β€’ Plural: Salvadorans

β€’ Adjective: Salvadoran culture, Salvadoran cuisine, etc.
