Me too! Not that Toronto gets many earthquakes; I think there have been a max of 3 in my lifetime! One was when I was a child, so I don't remember that one. But the 1 or 2 that have happened as an adult, I've been asleep through them.

First time I saw it, I thought it was an error. Turns out it's just British usage.

The person after me plays Pokémon.

How obnoxious of you. "I haven't got" is purely British, "I don't have" is perfectly fine, just more American; "favorite" is the correct spelling in American English and finally I don't think there's any difference between "no longer" and "anymore", at least in this context.

In English the acronym is USSR and stood for "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics".
dEhiN wrote:france-eesti wrote:The person after me can read C-clef.
No, I can only read the treble or G-clef, and the bass or F-clef.

"on which occasions have you studied" is an oddly precise question, as if you want dEhiN to list every single one. We'd normally say just "when did you study".
