↪ Replying to @janeruffino
@janeruffino The Swedish word is "omyndigförklara", and I'd say this is generally not taught in schools. This is closely tied to 63,000 Swedes with disabilities being forcibly sterilized between 1935 and 1975 in the name of "racial hygiene".

@cwodtke Agree, I loved it for 3-4 months (for sketching) but it turned out to be too big for the way I move around between clients. Also, too big for watching Netflix in bed! 😂

@BrizaPie Maybe use queryfeed to make an RSS feed from your search query and use a feed reader or IFTTT to trigger anything at all. queryfeed.net

@nicolecommander This is like a scene from Alice in Wonderland. If only we knew how many people this has happened to.
↪ Replying to @Tynell
@Tynell @EvaFornet Yes, many social phrases have meanings that have been lost over time. I have understood "You're welcome" to be a shortened form of "You are/were welcome to what I did for you", esp. in the sense that it was pleasing for me to do it for you.

@svmboyd @HODigital This is brilliant. Where can I see more?
↪ Replying to @unknown
@EvaFornet Again: "Everyone uses this phrase, not only waiters." I've also personally used this phrase a lot when working in a bar.

@Loukas_RS It could also be a variant of "I hope it is to your liking", which makes sense.
↪ Replying to @unknown
@Loukas_RS That's my thinking as well, and then when we take time to start breaking them down it's funny how odd many of them are.
↪ Replying to @unknown
@EvaFornet I'm not expressing a view of waiters, but a view of language. Everyone uses this phrase, not only waiters.
