   There are a dozen sources that indicate that a knitted cap is a beanie. Please do some research.

   Sorry, you are describing but one style of the hat. “One popular style of the beanie during the early half of the twentieth century was a kind of skullcap made of four or six felt panels sewn together to form the cap. The panels were often composed of two or more different contrasting colors to give them a novel and distinctive look. This type of beanie was also very popular with some colleges and fraternities, as they would often use school colors in the different panels making up the headgear. Another style of beanie was the whoopee cap, a formed and pressed wool felted hat, with a flipped-up brim that formed a band around the bottom of the cap. The band would often have a decorative repeating zig-zag or scalloped pattern cut around the edge. This gives the whoopee cap the appearance of a silly-looking crown made of fabric, or yarn that has been knit or crocheted instead of precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and so on. It was also quite common for schoolboys to adorn these styles of beanies with buttons and pins.” I also enjoy language clarity but word origins often are murky and changes in actual meaning, as well as in connotations, of common words has occurred over the centuries. As you are aware, “English” is an amalgam of the Germanic (Anglo-Saxon) and French (Norman) languages with contributions from other languages. Change, it seems, the the only constant.

   That episode also gave Shatner a chance to overact more than usual. His putdowns of the Federation representative (Baris) were almost as funny as the Scotty replies.

   It’s nice to see that sun is still as oblivious to reality as ever. Some things never change.

   Or BY Russia – it seems donny makes the perfect puppet, so the actual puppet government would have strings all the way to Moscow.

   All species are “invasive” – life expands naturally (have you ever seen bacteria in a petri dish?). We just have more influence on the rest of them . . .

   There were no tampons in the boys bathrooms. Minnesota school districts have stated that they do not do so. So, that story was a trumpist follower created lie, based on either a misunderstanding or a misrepresentation of the recent law. Unfortunately, folks like you are gullible enough to believe anything. Like the “conservative” influencers, who were gullible enough to swallow the Russian misinformation from Tenet Media. It’s a shame reality is so far from you guys.

   The old art vs the artist debate. But remember, even the revered George Harrison called him a dear friend. So, just listen to his music . . .

   But I will say that I’m glad that you agree with my characterization of your posts. Thanks so much. Have a nice fantasy life.

    I guess stepzie is off in his own little world. I’ll admit he starts off as a reasonable person but then posts ignorance and misrepresentation as fact. I’m done with him.
