[PL] Brutal selection on the front lines. Study: War rapidly changing Ukraine's dog population
I've found it interesting to learn how the animal (in this case dog) population is affected by the war. I've attached translation in a comment below. [edit] Link to the article:...

The death of punctuation
I've noticed a trend where people, young and old, are just not punctuating their sentences anymore. Is it intentional? Do people not know how to punctuate their sentences? Surely, this is not good.

Something more lighthearted:
My wife has been doing a project that requires her to get people's information over the phone much more than usual. This leads to her and them using unofficial phonetic alphabet terms ("A as in aardvark" instead of "A as in alpha"). This is usually fine except when they choose a word that is ambiguous or just a word not known to the other party. Someone said "V as in Veya" to her, and we still don't know what a Veya is.
This got me thinking about what inappropriate words you could use. I suggested "V as in Vasectomy".
So how about it, Tilderists? What are your "wrong answers only" suggestions for a NOGO phonetic alphabet?

The other day I realised I should have used a disclaimer on a comment.
It is a comment that is supposed to be light hearted and fun so I started to amuse myself in a way that I haven't done in quite some time.
I've "always" enjoyed breaking down words (preferably in the "wrong" place), finding synonyms or sound-a-likes or second meanings and their synonyms or sound-a-likes or second meanings, etc, etc...
So I would like to invite you to build on my example below, bring your own examples or tell us about ways that you play with words.
Example:
American pancake
**disclaimer** -> disc + *lamer" -> pancake + *un-cool" -> pancake + *hot* -> pancake + *rising* = American pancake16 votes -
