minus-squarepsud@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 天前Beware the word moot has opposite meanings to people from the US and UK. US takes it as something that can be ignored like it’s from practice in a moot court (or mock trial) UK takes it from the meeting type (a moot) and the word means something that should be discussed Australia mostly follows US usage in this
