I mean, language is inherently ridiculous anyway. loving verbs, adverbs, transitive and intransitive or subjunctive, linking, auxiliary. The perfect progressive is not in fact conditional on an indicative imperative but the present participle can definitely be accused of doing your head in.

Private Speech posted:Israel came pretty close second. Well when you've got the likes of Pollard submitting 20 votes, Andrew 'Rugtop' Neill submitting 30 votes etc, not that surprising. Switzerland wins the Eurovision song contest – summary https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-...inalSwitzerland has won the Eurovision song contest with a song called The Code by non-binary singer Nemo Croatia finished second with Baby Lasagna’s much-fancied Rim Tim Tagi Dim A huge public vote lifted Israel’s entry into fifth place despite low jury scores after a Eurovision week where protesters in Malmö had demonstrated against the country’s participation during the conflict in Gaza The UK’s Olly Alexander finished in 18th place, amassing 46 points from jury votes, but nothing from the public Ukraine finished third, with France fourth. Ireland’s Bambie Thug, who describes their genre as “Ouija-pop”, came sixth One of the favourites, Joost Klein of the Netherlands, did not appear in the final after being disqualified after organisers said he was involved in an incident involving a female member of the production crew before the final rehearsals https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/live/2024/may/11/eurovision-2024-final-song-contest-live

I dunno, there's a "sham" and there's tinfoil hat definitely a sham but not really, because people don't actually understand demographics or numbers.

Mebh posted:Is there like, an actual legit chance that Eurovision voting is and has always been a sham? It has always been political - right back to the seventies. See which countries vote for each other, don't vote for others, the various groups. Rarely to do with the quality of the song. Then of course you have the countries that really don't want to win because they can't afford to host the contest.
