Yeah I think this is ultimately a difference of opinion, and potentially a difference in how we learn to read in modern day - because while 673 is technically succinct, I wouldn’t say it flows better than six hundred and seventy three.
That being said, this could just be a carry over (for me) from the U.S. education system incentivizing reaching a certain word count. Idk
Yes you’ve made it very clear you have no idea what you’re talking about, and dropping melungeon is 100% a slur. There’s nothing to discuss here, but I’m sure I’ll see something in the future.
Not that I’m aware of, I was always taught to write out any number because it helps with the reader maintaining flow while reading. For the exact reasons we’re discussing here, ‘a thousand’ and ‘a 1,000’ are functionally the same - but one breaks the readers train of thought a lot more easily than the other. Whereas dates and times are used so frequently that writing out 31/12/2026 or 10:00 AM really doesn’t impact their ability to read them on a page.
At least, that’s what I was taught. Maybe there’s a different line of thinking I’m not aware of, though the rule you’re talking about sounds like a business English rule - and I disagree with business English.
He likely said ‘a thousand’ but whoever wrote this article failed English and never learned to write out numbers.
The only numbers I should see in an article are things people already expect to see as numbers, like dates (dd/mm/yy) or the time of day.
Victim blaming is ugly when someone is actually a victim. Ignoring everyones warnings and having your data deleted by Microslop is absolutely your own fault.
It’s like still being on Facebook and being surprised that you’re more and more depressed. That person isn’t a victim of anything other than their own ignorance.
No I can almost guarantee I’ll be calling you out for some other dumb shit you’ll say in the future, that I’m sure of.
Yeah I won’t be taking advice from white people on my problems or race issues. Thanks but you should keep all of that to yourself.
Superstitious people are stupid, religious people are hit or miss - they’re pretty fucking stupid though, by and large.
I can absolutely say nope to all of this because I’ve heard only white people paint my problems as class struggles. You think you have any room to call me a bigot when you handwave minority issues under the big umbrella of ‘class struggle’?
Nope, you’re white and part of the people who are desperate to be oppressed - likely because you’re a Christian with a victim complex.
‘Reclaiming’ words doesn’t work - that’s been proven to be true by the current state of the U.S. . It’s historically a slur. Even if it had been reclaimed - you’re white. Stop using it.
A perfect 3 part explanation of the corruptive influence of capital
Nope, enjoy your superstitions and acting like you’re oppressed.
So you’re white, got it.

when you don’t even know our culture or are even from here.
Don’t need to, wanna know why?
Ghosts. Aren’t. Real. Monsters. Are. Human.
Actually, quick question - what’s your skin color?
Appalachia is at least 80% white. It is one of the least racially diverse places in the country. Trying to suggest I’m somehow being racist is fucking brain damaged - educate yourself on critical race theory.
Edit: Melungean is a slur by the way, congrats on outing yourself
Incorrect, superstition is always based in woo woo magical thinking/ religion. I’m not interested in whatever bullshit this is, you can keep your ‘education’ to yourself.
I think all religion is superstition - if you actually read what I wrote you’d be able to put that together, but you think I’m being racist because you’re missing a few critical brain wrinkles.
Can’t look back at your old pictures if you never take pictures
In-N-Out pink lemonade. They switched to fake sugar and it just isn’t as refreshing as it used to be.
