The EHRC is not fit for purpose. This is neither an accident nor is it rushed. They are purposely pushing an anti-trans agenda.

Bold of you to assume Canada-within-the-USA would be granted voting rights as a state, let alone multiple states.

For anyone trying to maintain democracy in the USA these days: Moscow Rules are now in effect.

Oh, and on the topic, an explanation is simply making something easy to understand, or plain to see, which is the same root word again. Because flat terrain lets you see farther, and a plain explanation let's you understand better.

Airplanes, or course, are a portmanteau word from air and plane. And a plane, at its core meaning, is just a flat surface. For example, the ground is a flat surface. And the ground was the original plane. The English word plane is just the ancient word for a flat surface without the final T.

The English word plant comes from the Latin word planta, which as well as meaning the sole of the foot, also refers to a seed. bu;lb, sprout, or other part of a plant that you - literally plant in the ground. Feet, and seeds - both planted in the ground.

In Neolithic times, the sole of the foot was called something that would sound remarkably like "plehnteh" (from which we get Latin "planta"), because you literally plant your feet on the ground. The ground of course being a level surface, or a plane.
