Talk:2285: Recurring Nightmare

Could it just be that Megan is anthrophobic? 162.158.62.247 16:22, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

She's friendly (and socially proximate) enough with Cueball. That said, I know first hand how one can be asocial in general (in the verging on mildly enochlophobic sense) and still somehow tolerate acquaintances acquired in familial or vocational settings. (I'm pretty sure it's the obvious current mass nosophobic tendency being referenced, myself. If not, it's a far more complicated joke than it needs to be.) 162.158.34.222 19:26, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

To misquote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, no, that's just the normal paranoia we all have- a couple of million years of strangers killing everybody in the tribe, leaves the survivors with a deep set instinct identifying and running away from .... strangers User:Seeberboringert (talk) 21:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

"Revise" seems to be British for "study." So if u 4got to revise /study, and show up in class with without a pencil and naked just tell the people that u r dreaming and as soon as the dream gets interesting you will wake up, because your dreams are boring. 108.162.216.236 21:50, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

I think you'll find the word in the comment is "REALIZE"Seebert (talk) 21:53, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm sure I won't. Qwotegeneral "forgotten to revise for the exam"endqwote is from the explain.

Please be aware that "revise" means "edit, generally to make the text conform to a belief" to me, while to a Britisher it means what "do homework" or "study" means to me.

Revise does not mean this in British, or as we say in the UK, Proper English. Revise means to review/amend/take another look

Revise can have both meanings in Australian English, and I think the same is true for British English. "I forgot to revise for my test" means a very similar thing to "I forgot to study for my test". However, "revise" has the additional implication that you have already studied the material, you are just consolidating it more in your mind and catching all the bits that you missed ZerGreenOne (talk) 02:45, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

These comments about "revise" make absolutely NO sense!!162.158.214.88 11:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

You can use the view history button on top of the page to find that where it currently says "This can be added to something such as a general "forgotten to prepare for the exam you're sitting" to build upon various[...]" it did say "revise" instead of "prepare" in an earlier revision --Lupo (talk) 11:35, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning in the list of (non-nudity) precautions that wearing a facemask isn't actually a very good protective measure. Masks (especially everyday/ad-hoc types such as could have been seen worn by people outdoors in those in those halcyon days when anybody did still go outdoors) are practically useless in protecting the wearer from others. They'd still touch surfaces infected by non-wearers and then easily transfer the infection the next time they adjust/remove it or otherwise touch other vulnerable bits of their face. They can wash their hands before removing it, in their home 'airlock', but if the mask is breath-moistened it could still be holding the virus and retransfer onto the clean hands again. OTOH, if someone is infected then their mask does more to safeguard others. 162.158.34.202 17:24, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
