Ah, good. We're currently reliant on unpaid, probably-not-too-happy workers for fire safety. Sounds like a great time to stay off an airplane in the USA.

It's effective against the rest of the combustible material in the hold so ideally the fire remains contained to the battery.

They did spur engineering effort to develop ICEs such that regular passenger cars in the USA could do better than 10 mpg.

It was something at least. Now we have a lot of people who choose to drive far less efficient behemoths than the much more efficient ICE (or hybrid) passenger cars currently available.

In that case, I'll make mine echo a random number of characters pee key stroke. The feedback is nice but then there are no worries about someone observing password length.

Who would mine the creamy bit from a wheel of brie and leave the hard rind behind?!?!

> English has one case and if we try very hard we can squeeze something similar to a case - so let's say it has two

This isn't a correct way to describe English grammar. You can either say it has no cases or four cases with no inflections (because it definitely has subjects, objects, indirect objects, and possessives).

Presumably your native language doesn't inflect in the nominative or something like that and your English teacher once gave you your statement as a convenience fact, but the vast majority of native English speakers have never heard of grammatical case (ones who have, have typically studied inflected foreign languages). In Linguistics, it might be used to describe English and other uninflected languages (it depends).

Who / Whom

+ Who/ Whose

Are two examples of something that could be considered possesive case. Although those are more words that describe possession than the possesive case.

Still good example of words changing.

I'll see your Scheveningen and raise you an angstschreeuwtje.

Oh, good one! I had never heard of it but yes, that would work.

"Nuts" is the correct expression to indicate that you are not a German spy as it is a very perplexing Americanism. Go to Germany and try using "Nüsse" as an interjection! See also: Bastogne.

It's not the natural evolution of a regional dialect coming to prominence but rather the conscious consensus of a geographically distributed social stratum.

Interestingly, the sociolinguistic literature shows that such a consensus is strongest among an aspirationally upward-mobile social group rather than the already social elite. In other words: The aspirational middle class make a big effort to speak how they think the upper class speak in hopes of joining them one day.
