    That CA suffers fires from global warming. 

    CA's climate is to have fires every year.  In actuality, fewer acres are burned annually now than were burned in California prior to the arrival of humans. This post was edited by my2cents at December 3, 2022 8:06 PM MST

    (Comma after the word “fact”.)
    (less fewer acres)

    In fact, far LESS acres are available to burn compared to before human arrival in CA.

    She correctly said fewer acres. LESS land means FEWER acres. LESS sugar means FEWER calories, etc.

    My2cents edited her post; originally it had the phrase “less acres are burned”.

    The point of my post was more important than the grammar. I'd have preferred a comment on how brilliant was the response!

      For the Grammar Police, recognizing infractions is an innate enterprise which requires taking action immediately and as a foremost priority over all other considerations.  We cannot help it; we were born that way.

    Right. Got to get all the misspellings and incorrect clauses off the street. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at December 3, 2022 9:13 PM MST

    That everyone conforms to the stereotype (are there two more different people on the planet than Randy D and Rosie?)

    Also, it never rains.

    Everyone walks around randomly saying, "Dude!", "Gnarly!", "Cowabunga!", and, "Gag me with a spoon!"
