I believe Auntblabby is talking about the movie "The Santa Clause".
With a terrible sequel we won't discuss.

My opinion is that Kevin in Home Alone was better off without his emotionally abusive family.
He should have called Child Protective Services and got them all booked.

The letter "Q" is unnecessary and should be removed from the English alphabet.

Absolutely.

Similarly, the letter 'c' should be replaced by either 'k', or by 's', in the spellings of virtually all English language words in which the letter now appears.

But the letter itself can be saved, and repurposed, to stand for the sound 'ch' (as they already do in Italian). :)

for english speakers, the type of the letter "R" [in transcriptions of foreign words] that should be trilled should be written as "Rr." examples would be "peRro" and "feRrocaRril."

^ You may be on to something, Blabs.  Until I can find a character set that includes an 'R' or 'r' with a tilde over it, your "Rr" technique might be suited for public speakers speaking unfamiliar words from a script.

The leash law applies to all dogs, not just dogs whose owners deem them "friendly" or dogs that have bitten someone.

Most precious lil "people" talk way too much and too loud and too enthusiastically.

Not every thought and emotion that goes through their heads, is the latest greatest scientific invention.

"Unity and diversity" is a good thing, but plenty of lil dipshits claim to be all "diverse", but everyone that works there (or all the customers) have the same personality. That personality is almost always: extroverted, judgmental, feeling.

Doughnuts shouldn't have holes.
They should be bread-like in texture and have raspberry jam in the middle.
