i've looked up several sources and the oxford dictionary the oxford dictionary says it usually should be set foot is becoming more popular. so i'm just a little confused about that. >> let me address that first because otherwise i'll forget. i looked this one up because it's something i get asked about the kinds of things, that is the kind of thing i don't really or in my brain. i'm more of a structural kind of person so you found yourself looking at the same thing 50 times? that's my life i feel that the difference between the many other people is that i constantly look things up. whereas other people come up to the table and asked me. but so i remember i read the thing which is the usual thing where the dominant phrase is set foot. you see this a lot but another one is asked in whole or maybe it coexisted at a lower frequency so often when you look these things up that coexisting phrase has actually been in use off and on over the years and you didn't know about. so i don't remember what the first documented use of set foot was you i think people used this set foot in thinking to se

you said the oxford comma. yeah okay. didn't mentioned earlier that that is the number one question i get. the thing i get asked about now, it's not two times the next most common question or three or it's like five or six times the second most common question that i get asked about it about and just in case you don't remember the term the oxford comma as the comma before the and before that last item in the list or in or but that just doesn't come up as much. i think in fact a lot of people who are obsessed with oxford commas never even pay attention to the authors and they just those. it's the same thing. it's a coordinating conjunction. you have item one, item two, item three and or item four or however many items you have. but i think for that's not an important grammar point. don't really care whether people use oxford commas or not. i use them currently, but when i worked as a freelance reporter, i was following associated press style. that is, of course that is one of the books i have here on my desk, the associate

oxford, or bus, things like that.is of a future marriage or end a relationship right there. it is very essential in people's lives. itl think we get used to a litte detailed and it's hard when that little detail isn't there a room we don't want what they are and it shows up. the most evil punctuation thing you can do is go into your colleague's documents late at night when they are not at work and start adding or removing them and they are notay looking for that is the way to get everyone to hate you. [laughter] think you had a question before right? >> i have a number of comments. [laughter] the oxford, i had professor once who insisted there is not to be a, they are.al however some kind of compoundit phrase it already has and you've got another thing at the end yoo have to keep at the end of a sentence you really need that. >> absolutely. spaghetti and meat laws if i say i ordered salad, spaghetti, and soda i could live without the oxford, there it doesn't matter. salad, spaghetti, or no, whatever might mood calls f

but we don't have evidence of that oxford going back to what about 1145 and the castle oxford was built. there were horses, people on foot, look at europe with it's beautiful public, public transportation zurich, one of the top 2 places on earth to live with unbelievable systems. if in fact this is where they want to go and create a quality of life that surpasses everyone. then that's a good thing for the upright mammals that live there. especially people that want to shop there. if i can't get my car done a cobblestone street and can't park it reasonably or be able to afford to park it, i'm not going to go. i'm going to use amazon. well steve, while the west ers is the world to go green, it does not refrain from opening coal mines, for instance, like we've seen in the u. k. recently. don't you think this seems a little hypocritical? we've got germany, you know, cutting down forest out of use firewood. it's going to pollute a lot more than the cleaner energy sources available in. and i was as an agreement that i think we are environmentally cleaner than what we had. horses going through

any more than oxford, when you have a town that was built hundreds of years ago with narrow streets, it was not anticipating vehicles. you're going to have to deal with the reality of an old town with small confines and with people wanting to get in and out of those areas for work and business and take their kids to school. he got to deal with reality. not the idea that we can put trolleys in or some sort of a monorail system like disney world and move people around rapidly on a, on a relatively easy schedule. i would agree with steve. except let's, he mentioned walt disney who created disney world, which is still a modern for excellent transportation, if an effort is being made to improve things in let's assume that the city council of oxford is some sort of democracy. and that a vote was taken in the public, was involved to some degree, then we either like democracy or we don't if in fact this is where they want to go and create a quality of life that surpasses everyone. then that's a good thing for the upright mammals that live lar. so let's put the role in place and then let me g

and also oxford. is mentioned somehow as they said that when you began to comprehend the language of the profession, the game was presented as a catalan, that is, this is his idea that at an early stage to calculate promising ones, it remains in service. well, i think that this does not fit correctly, since they are obviously not in the field of view and counterintelligence such people, that is, the formula remains in the arsenal of the russian foreign intelligence service, i think so. i think yes you know. i think this is the correct approach. that is why such characteristics were preserved in the personal divider: a large recruiter, an exceptionally combative and dedicated worker, an exceptionally combative, enterprising dedicated worker, but there was also one important characteristic, besides being a brilliant technician, then it became so routine. what is your profession by education? well, a mathematician, actually, he was such a technician, but he knew well , he knew physics and chemistry, whic

the filter scheme is set to begin in a city of oxford in 2024. in an effort to reduce traffic on stop pollution and he was driving through the areas without the permits will be fined a 70 pounds or around $85.00. local authorities claim the measures will make the city a better place to live with some activists expressing support for the move. the official analysis of the scheme found that it will mean a 35 percent decrease in traffic. a 9 percent reduction in road casualties. rush hour buses will run 15 percent quicker and air pollution will improve in 91 percent of locations. this will save lives and make our city more pleasant now and for future generations. what we discussed the controversial traffic filter system with radio host carry harrison and steve gill, who is also a political commentator. we used to always get the excuse for every public policy argument that it's for the children's. now, it's always for the environment. an unfortunate think bureaucratic governments all over the world tell a truth, but don't really tell the truth of wha

and let's assume that the city council of oxford is some sort of democracy. and that a vote was taken in the public, was involved to some degree, then we either like democracy or we don't if in fact this is where they want to go and create a quality of life that surpasses everyone. then that's a good thing for the upright mammals that live there. so let's put the rule in place and then let the public boat, if they're not getting to vote in advance. and when they throw, the city council was actually put it in was a public really thinks about. and i'd also point out that in beijing you have millions of people on bicycles. it's one of the most polluted cities in the world because it's not just transportation that fuels pollution. if they want cleaner air, they want a better way to get around from a to b, to have less collision, less people knocked down more people on bicycles done. let them try the experiment . if it fails, it fails, and it fails in front of all of us. we now know never do that again. ah, jeryn police say they have arrested 25 people on suspicio
