I always pronounced “only” as “on-lie”. I heard other people say “only” and couldn’t understand what they meant.

Vegemite. That first heady whiff of yeast and salt when you open a new jar.

I got my (uncommon but not rare) surname and country code, similar to for example smith.uk, so I can have an email address like (but not exactly) john@smith.uk. That’s good enough for me.

I hadn’t heard that, thanks, I’ll check it out.
