One of our cats has epilepsy and needs to get his medication every 12 hours. It’s a pain.

I don’t have a strong opinion on this, since in my language we use the same word for both. I’m aware of the difference in English, but but I just don’t have it internalised enough to care if someone makes a mistake.

Can’t wait to gamble today. Literally shaking. That’s called dedication. Buddy, I’ve been gambling everyday for 20+ years. It’s all I think about and I still haven’t gotten addicted so I doubt it’s happening.
