No one is sure where the term “rookie” comes from. Its first noted usage was in 1892 by Rudyard Kipling, referring to recruits in the British Army.

Get out, and stay out. Please.

Gotten should be consigned to the history books. Along with “write me”, “light something on fire” and numerous other Americanisms.

Local communities (feddit.uk)
 

I wasn’t sure whether to post this or ask an admin directly, but I then thought it might be worth asking this openly and seeing what other people think, or if other people can fill in gaps in my knowledge.

I’ve been seeing an increase of communities that are local to this instance but don’t have anything to do with the UK directly. The latest one I’ve seen is a community for posts relating to the US Green Party.

I’ve still not got my head around this federation malarkey, but I’d assumed local communities should somehow relate to the instance? Or does it not matter in the slightest? Is there a potential financial penalty due to the increased traffic?
