I'm very small doses?

Isn't this sentence an excellent example of how German grammar is creeping into English? There are traces of the German usage of im when in dem is implied.

Or do you think it is more likely that my autocorrect is very confused, and I didn't spot it before I posted.

As an example, it just corrected 'my' to 'mi', but I spotted that one.

Is credibility no an individual choice?

What's wrong with 'no'?

That would be a perfectly acceptable sentence in Scotland.

And I think it illustrates my point about typing errors and autocorrect beautifully. Thanks for that Sylkat.

We don't live forever, but how long is the afterlife?

Excuse me??

The most well-known haunt here is asking US, the living, about the experience of death??

And an almost-immortal crab is answering him?? *
