I got 72%, but I guessed on a lot of them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
fresh and dried coriander
The US different names are for the leaves and seeds, not for fresh vs. dried -- I'm not sure anyone does dry cilantro, because, why, but I'm neurotically compelled to fix the distinction...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Getting married is not just a private commitment but a public gesture. So it becomes, in part, about your status in the community.
my wedding ceremony was very private. As in, it involved no one in our community. I feel that our commitment to each other is private and personal. The reason for making it legal was strictly to protect each other

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, that's what I figured. The English (or whoever) in the US used it dried, called it coriander. Spanish-speaking Latin Americans used it fresh, called it cilantro. US people never integrated the terms, while using both things.
ION, I think I'm going to be one of Those People on the plane, with a slightly too-big carry-on and two "personal items" (a purse and a small tote bag). I just hate to pay to check a bag when my overflow is so small!

Aha! I didn't really know that. And it makes even more sense now.

Wait, that was my point! I guess what I'm saying is the legality is hugely important, and the difference between what we were saying is the definition of culture.
Which is why I'd rather see Civil Partnerships with the same rights and responsibilities (like in the UK) now, and quibble about semantics later. Hell, I'd cheerfully allow my het marriage (non-religious) to be defined as such if it meant that my friends and family could have the same damn rights with one simple license.

That may be so but the marriage exists within the larger culture, separate from what it means to you personally. You are married, and you have a husband and those aspects of your public self are acknowledged as such within the community.

Oh, I mean the leaves, if this helps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An Air Force cargo plane was preparing for departure from Thule Air Base in Greenland. They were waiting for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding tank. The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, the truck was late in arriving, and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped out. When the commander berated the Airman for his slowness and promised punishment, the Airman responded: "Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below zero, I'm stationed in Greenland, and I am pumping sewage out of airplanes. Just what are you going to do to punish me?"
