Only 61 percent correctly identified Great Britain as the nation from which the 13 colonies declared independence 250 years ago. Overall, 40 percent answered incorrectly, with 25 percent admitting they were not sure, and others guessing Europe (4 percent), Canada (3 percent), France (4 percent), Spain (2 percent), and Germany (2 percent).

You're so clueless mate, why do you keep posting?

[Britannica] and other dictionaries

The fact that you don't know the difference between a dictionary and an encyclopaedia suggests that you're not exactly an authority on the matter.

Here are some actual dictionary references:

• oed

• cambridge

• Merriam Webster

Martyrs die willingly for their cause

Even taking the Roman Catholic definition (i.e where the word martyr comes from that's completely wrong.

They are victims not martyrs

These two categories are not mutually exclusive.

You come across as the sort of person that would berate a grieving parent for referring to their dead child as a "little angel".

In other cultures, the word martyr carries very different meanings. These children's families and communities consider them to be martyrs.

In the context, I think its entirely appropriate to adopt language which reflects the cultural background of the victims, and it's frankly quite insensitive of you to be quibbling over usages.

Look, I'll agree that the US has abysmal press freedom, but they're not quite at the level of Russia or NK yet.

Yeah this is AI.

Found the "artist" on Instagram

When you see their hand drawn comics it becomes pretty obvious why they use AI. Honestly I find it bizarre that you'd put your signature on something generated by a computer?

Ooooohhhhh I get it now, cheers

I’d lean toward two people being featured. An average Joe male and a decathlete female or some such. There are some events that even an average man would crush

This is what I was talking about?
