    When have you known me to stick to what I know?........ How much do you know about building with ice-cream sticks?

    Not a lot. Ice-creams on sticks arrived here when I was in high school. We used something called Clag when I was a kid but it wasn't very sticky.

    Pilots stick to using "CLAG" to mean, "Cloud Low, Aircraft Grounded".

    Interesting would things stick to it? Could one build with them?

    How can one stick what they know if they don't know anything? 😉

    I was stuck, for about 2 minutes, trying to figure out exactly what you said, then decided that it was a quest that was unattainable.

    If we stick to the word 'stick', this thread will be incomprehensible.

    We can, you do realize, use different tenses of the word stick, right?

    Why do they call it a stick of gum? I'd call it a piece or a strip.

    Maybe because when you were chewing gum in school and the teacher looked your way you could stick it under your chair/desk? 🤔

    Maybe it is called a stick of gum because that is what it has been called for decades as long as I can remember. A piece or strip of gum just wouldn't sound the same here.

    It's not hard to use gum and stick in the same sentence.

    No problem sticking a stick of gum in a sentence! 😉

    Geeze, I wonder what word I used in the removed posts wasn't allowed?........I knew it couldn't be something I said. Probably the auto-bot at work.

    They would probably have to stick in the traslater unless one of them speak french, but I see nothing wrong with what you said. 🙂

    Should I save them time and let them know what you said is:
    The seal ate the fish?
