Does someone want to point out to Randall that it is the offside rule, not offsides rule 172.70.134.122 04:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

It's often pluralized in American English, per Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(sport) 172.71.151.44 05:22, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

That makes no sense, it's an adjective, not a noun. It can't be pluralised. Even that wikipedia article, despite its assertion at the top, doesn't at any point use "offside" as a noun.

Side is a noun. It's colloquial in the US because other games use the same word. 172.70.206.92 12:03, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Interesting that the inherent pluralisation doesn't extend to "math(ematic)s"... ;) 172.70.86.61 12:27, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I currently have no time to expand the explanation, but it should be pointed out that the gravity well drawing is a graph and not an actual surface. Also, people are perfectly fine with moving though 4 dimensional spacetime. We do it every day.

...though note that I probably can't ever go back to where I was yesterday. 172.70.86.61 12:27, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

That has more to do with the fact that you flooded the museum's basement than spacetime though 172.69.22.62 15:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
