1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    Interestingly, other fruits that might surprise you, such as avocados, cucumbers, and pumpkins, are also considered botanical berries
    In contrast, common grocery “berries” like strawberries and raspberries are not true berries in the botanical sense
    WTH?!

    Strawberries and raspberries even have "berries" literally in their name, and yet... not technically berries.

    Why do we even have words? What's the point of anything?

    well literally can now mean dramatically, half the south thinks couple can mean three, no one uses biweekly correctly... english was already three other languages in a trench coat, now even the meanings are useless.

    I am wholly of your persuasion, and that without the smallest reservation. 'Tis most lamentable that the tongue of Shakespeare and of Milton should be so grievously neglected in these latter days, and I do heartily concur that the populace stands in sore need of instruction in the proper and becoming use of our noble English speech.

    Anyone have experience disputing the automated messages for certain studies on a certain particular platform about tasks running out when tasks did not run out and you in fact completed the whole project and submitted? Does anyone actually read the responses? Is there a timeframe I should expect a rejection and then have to dispute?

    Edit: welp seems some other people getting same issue when i glanced at the reddit so maybe itll work out i am worn down and frustrated here recently with issues i have been running into overall but fingers crossed
