Have you tried Pikto? I used them some years ago for picture books, and the quality was great (I haven't done a calendar). www.pikto.com/ca/cards/wal...

Bike lanes and transit is a great example of this. It also makes me think of the anger expressed at vegans and veganism by people who insist that our food system's use of animals is necessary, natural and normal.

Confusing a bit that the chickens number has to be multiplied by a thousand, since it's been reduced by a thousand so that it fits on the chart. It's 76 billion chickens not 76 million, as it seems be if a reader ignores the asterisk.

I remember that it was terrible :(

This would make some sense except that those people on bicycles would alternatively be another car on the road, and in congested cities that’s much worse for drivers.

I think this explains the odd set of policies supported by Doug Ford specifically:
- underground transit lines: good, no visible change to streetscape
- speed cameras: bad, goes against driver intuition
- speed bumps: good, part of normal roads
- cycle tracks: bad, implies you could also bike

Any possibility that this will be streamed for those of us not in London?

They’re good dogs tho

I just explained why the Oxford comma doesn’t fix this possible ambiguity, especially when the list item is singular. The item that follows can be read as modifying with the Oxford comma (and less so without) when the item is singular, as it is here.

The list seems clear to me either way. This way makes it possible to read “a lavish legal drama” as a description of Frankenstein.

I'm commenting on how absurd it is that people are using computer programs that make up sources in a piece of writing — whereas if a hired human writer/editor ever made up a source (to fluff up a piece of writing, to make it look or sound better) that person would be fired for their dishonesty.

Not verifying is very different is very different than making up a reference that doesn’t exist because you think it looks good. If an editor I hired did that, I wouldn’t hire them again.

How many discovered made-up/hallucinated references would it take before a human copyeditor would be fired? (My guess, for most employers/clients, would be only one.)
