Do you think you know how to clean things properly? If so, you’re in the minority, according to a poll. The survey of 2,000 parents in the US found that 26% have been told they don’t know how to do laundry properly. In addition, 28% have been told they mop and sweep wrong, and 33% apparently even fold laundry incorrectly. Can we place blame for all this on Mom and Dad? You bet we can: 4 in 10 respondents said they have seen their own parents doing these types of things “the wrong way”. What’s more, 26% said they were never taught how to mow the lawn. One-quarter were never taught how to do garden or yard work – and 24% said they were never even taught how to properly load a dishwasher.

Maine
is the only state that borders just one other state. If you're in
Maine, you'll find the Atlantic Ocean to the south and Canada to the
north. But if you want to stay in the U.S., you'll have to head west
to New Hampshire, because Maine is the only state in the country that
borders just one other state.

The Dalai Lama has called on young people to make this a happier century.
Yes, watching an important football or basketball game – or any sports match — can be a stressful experience (especially if you have cash on the line…). But here’s the good news: New research has shown that people who watch sports actually enjoy greater wellbeing than those who don’t – and this could make them live longer. Scientists at Anglia Ruskin University used survey data from over 7,000 adults in England, and found that those who attended a live sporting event in the last year are more satisfied with their lives, feel their lives are more worthwhile, and are less lonely than people who haven’t. And other studies have found that people who watch sports in person at least once a year have fewer depressive symptoms than those who do not. It was also found that watching sports on TV and online can also be good for your wellbeing – and therefore could also contribute to a longer lifespan.

Casual clothing, a chilly treat and a look of dismay are the makings of this season’s hottest clothing trend, thanks to J-Lo’s always-edgy and allegedly estranged husband, Ben Affleck. Fashion fanatics around New York and beyond are ditching the designer labels to, instead, go for the “Affleck-effect”, the guy whose frumpy clothing choices and frequent looks of agitation – paired with an ever-present cold coffee drink, seem to deeply resonate with Gen Zs and millennials. Tastemakers are going with the “Gone Girl” star’s not-so-glitzy getup of vintage T’s, loose-fitting jeans and caffeine – along with an expression of boredom or disdain, and posting pics of themselves enjoying an iced coffee drink, usually with a hashtag or caption explaining that they are enjoying a “Ben Affleck Summer”.

FAMOUS FIGURES WHOSE NAMES YOU’RE PROBABLY MISPRONOUNCING:
✗ Dr. Seuss: You may know this one. Theodore Seuss Geisel’s pen name was Dr. Seuss. The correct German pronunciation rhymes with “voice”.
✗ Jake Gyllenhaal: His surname pronounced properly sounds something like “Yeel-en-high-luh.” He joked to Conan O’Brien that the only places that can get it right are Sweden and IKEA.
✗ Dr. Jekyll: Turns out it’s actually “Jeek-ul.” The character comes from the 1886 novella “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”, where the Scottish pronunciation would have “Jekyll” rhyming with “treacle,” not “heckle.”
✗ Vincent Van Gogh: North Americans pronounce it “van Go,” while Brits tend to say it “van Goff.” Turns out the Dutch pronounce it with a more guttural noise, which sounds like something between a cough and a laugh: “Khokh.”
✗ Genghis Khan: Most say this with a hard “G,” like in the word “great.” But the Mongols actually called their legendary leader “Chinghis Khan.” And the internationally accepted pronunciation uses a soft “G,” beginning with a “jay” sound.
✗ Matt Groening: Of course, you WANT to say “groaning.” But the “oe” in The Simpsons creator’s name is pronounced like “ay,” making the correct pronunciation “graining.”
✗ Lindsay Lohan: When she posted her first TikTok in 2022, she introduced herself by saying, not surprisingly, “Hey everyone, it’s Lindsay Lohan”. To the surprise of many, she pronounced her last name: “LOW-en” instead of “LOW-han.” (So, as long as she wasn’t drunk…)
✗ Amanda Seyfried: Her last name is often mispronounced “Sea-fred,” “Sea-fried,” or even “Seigfred.” The correct way to say it is “Sigh-fred”.
✗ Martin Scorsese: While commonly pronounced “Scor-say-zee,” he introduces himself in an Entourage episode as Marty “Scor-sess-ee.”
✗ Demi Moore: She is on record as saying her name as “Duh-mee” rather than “Dem-ee.”
✗ Rihanna: While many say “Ree-ah-nuh,” the most dedicated fans know she actually pronounces it “Ree-ann-uh.”
