Shark cartilage? 😀

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.

Number vs. Amount 📝
Number = countable things (number of people, books, ideas)

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

Never say “amount of people”—the implication is awful! People aren’t a substance.

Quick test: Can you make it plural? Use “number.” No? Use “amount.”

I’ve always wondered how you pronounce XTIAN—is that SHTEE-uhn? EKS-chun? EX-tee-an?

📚 Quick note: "Homage" pronunciation 📚

Standard: HOM-ij
(H pronounced) → "*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"

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:

• Person from El Salvador: a Salvadoran

• Plural: Salvadorans

• Adjective: Salvadoran culture, Salvadoran cuisine, etc.
