When someone corrected me I was completely convinced they were wrong. I still think this qualifies as pedantry though π
See the section on the Mandela effect. It's fascinating. This is bullet 3 of "other examples":

I know you love a pedant so have to ask - you know he doesnβt actually say βLukeβ in that line right? Itβs a classic example of the Mandela effect.
Nice. Itβs plum harvest day in WC1 (15kg). Crumbles incoming!
Anyone else thinking Spain have left caldentey on for too long?
I was kind of joking - I do take your point!
βYou canβt cause harm by votingβ π
The previous government had changed Immigration Rules making family reunion for stateless people much harder.
We challenged that in the High Court and won β the court found the changes to be unlawful.
Here's what it means for stateless people & their families π

Very important and interesting #trafficking & #ECF / #legalaid judgment from the EW High Court last week: HJK & ors v LAA www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH... 1/7
7/ Congratulations to ATLEU, @shushinluh.bsky.social & Maria Moodie for their work on these very important cases.
6/ The court also undertakes a meticulous demolition of the LAAβs contention that the CICA application process is βstraightforwardβ [98-109].
5/ βFairness demands that these Claimants should be able to present their cases for compensation effectively at the first time of applyingβ [96].
4/ This argument is brutally described in lawyerspeak as a βsurprising conclusionβ [92] (BrE: obviously wrong).
3/ Particularly short shrift is reserved for the LAAβs submission that ECF was applied for at βa very early stage in the processβ [82] -- ie, that it would have been more appropriate to apply for ECF *after* a CICA application had been refused.
2/ tl;dr: the LAA was wrong to refuse ECF to these four trafficking survivors for their CICA application β to do so was a breach of their article 6 ECHR rights.

Suddenly strikes me that In style (of course not in substance) βOopsieβ was quite a DAG comment.
Season 1 is great and worth rewatching. Just such a great premise, with a group of characters who know nothing about each other and an audience gradually knowing more about them than they know about each other thanks to flashbacks. But go no further!
