I thought this was interesting, seeing the views of a young adult who supports Reform. The article is about him having a date with a Green-voting young woman.
What are your thoughts about the growth of Reform, especially among young adults?
Having said that though, it looks like Reform’s voting base still skews older. If you look at YouGov’s most recent data here (as of the time of me writing this) you can see the following:
- 15% of 18-24 year-olds support Reform
- 20% of 25-49 year-olds support Reform
- 26% of 50-64 year-olds support Reform
- 29% of 65+ year-olds support Reform
Sorry nope.
Only if you are American. And as I’m in the UK talking about our history. I’ll stick with UK English
Nope. Raze is the correct spelling in British English
Raise to the ground is the spelling used with that term in UK english.
It isn’t, though. The word raze comes from the French, raser (shave) where the word raise comes from old Norse ræran (to rear). Both have been in use with separate meanings since middle English (1100s) and here is an example of the usage with Z from 1669:

@HumanPenguin @titaniumarmor I don’t think that’s a difference between UK and US English. I think you meant razed too (a fellow Brit).
Nope if you look up using rated is a modern term adapted from US English. It is common in younger Internet raised populations. But those of us in our 50s never use razed.
@HumanPenguin I did check before I commented and I’m the same generation as you. There is a difference between raise (to lift) and raze (to destroy)
US English also uses raze. Raise a barn to build it. Raze a barn to destroy it.
