Like where? I'm curious to look at the style guides from there.

Fwiw, apps like Boost don't even show avatars (unless you tap through to the profile)

It's a stretch to assume they've thought it through to this degree.

The things you're saying aren't necessarily untrue, but through a lot of the 20th century, immigrants and their children accounted for more than half of America's population growth. A lot of us aren't descended from the batshit OGs but from people who made perilous journeys in search of a better life, so goes the lore (and of course the people who were kidnapped and brought here in bondage). Your point stands, but there's a whole lot of different crazy here besides just settler crazy.

Backtracking five years later isn't strictly the same thing as lying. Five years is enough time to learn new information, and she's being upfront about the change. I'd be more concerned if she were saying right up until the election that she's going to ban fracking, then suddenly refused to do so as president.

Who's = who+is.

Only whose is possessive, always.

I don't mind this when it's families that are out trick-or-treating with their own kids. If you're home and you do it, that's weird

The U.S. has a lot of third spaces like parks, libraries, art spaces, community/rec/senior centers, churches, etc. It's more that there's been a cultural shift away from using those spaces, because the norm for work-life balance has been steadily shifting toward only work, so people don't have energy left for themselves or their communities.

Legally integrated, but I wouldn't say fully. Source: living in the South.
